Ok here's my buy report for the week. I haven't downloaded the books I bought yesterday and today yet as I need to get Calibre and my libraries back on my PC.
  • Once More with Feeling by Nora Roberts [One of the few new-to-me NR's. Read it while reformatting. It was OK, but definitely not one of my faves by her.]
  • Reflections by Nora Roberts
  • Dance of Dreams by Nora Roberts
  • Trust in Me by Dee Tenorio [I liked this one.]
  • Stargazer by Colby Hodge
  • Ask Her at Christmas by Christi Barth
  • Dream On by Jaci Burton
  • Dare to Love by Jaci Burton
  • Midnight Velvet by Jaci Burton
  • The Heart of a Killer by Jaci Burton
  • Time Raiders: The Warrior's Touch by Delilah Devin
  • A Simple Twist of Fate by HelenKay Dimon
  • Time Raiders: The Greek Lover by Jocelyn Kelley
  • Immortal Heart by Julie Miller
  • Always Faithful by Julie Miller
  • Shadow of the Hawk by Julie Miller
  • No Mistletoe Required by Jeanette Murray
  • The Game of Love by Jeanette Murray
  • Romancing Wisconsin box set by Stacey Joy Netzel [I already had book 1 in my TBR pile but haven't read it yet.]
  • Making the First Move by Reese Ryan
  • A Good Time by Shannyn Schroeder
  • More Than This by Shannyn Schroeder
  • Burn for Me by Dee Tenorio
  • Love Me Tomorrow by Dee Tenorio
Proud of myself for actually reading two of the books I bought this week and not just sticking everything in my TBR pile.

I am glad my browser somehow reverted back to the old Kobo as I really dislike their new layout.

Also, my wishlist is looking very slim (just over 450 books now on it ). There are a few non-couponable books at the US store *I'm looking at you, Entangled*. Plus there are still a number of Nora Roberts Penguin Intermix old category books I'd like to buy which are now out. But for the first time since I created my "Wanted in Digital" list more than 75% have a "Not Yet Released" notation (by which I mean older books which have not yet been released digitally not new books that haven't come out yet). I need to find some new authors so keep your buy reports coming. I often check out the authors' websites and add stuff to my wishlist.

I don't mean to sound as if I am complaining, but I am exhausted. I spent hours looking and organized all of the books by price so I wouldn't use my biggest code on the least expensive book (which is one of the reasons I waited until the end of the contest this time as I have done that before. Oops!) And I don't regret using all of the 30% and less coupons last year and this year or buying agency priced books by favorite authors, but man I could have saved mucho $ if I'd waited. Oh well, such is the life of a book addict

The only bad part of waiting til the end to spree buy is that Kobo locked me out early this AM after purchasing 10 books. I was able to buy 10 more books this afternoon, but got the "unexpected error" on book 11 again. Called my bank they said it's not my card (I got the same error earlier in the week and it was my card, so I wanted to be sure). I tried again after an hour, but I guess that's not long enough of a wait time

I have two other codes I was saving until tomorrow to buy some new Carina books, so I'll see if I can purchase some more after midnight. Has this happened to anyone else?
