I've been MIA for the last couple of weeks - lurking really, but work got a little crazy the last couple of weeks with lots of extra hours for me and the spare ones I had, sadly (or not so sadly) were spent going a bit toooo crazy with the magically never-ending coupon codes.

I've lost track of all the purchases, but lets just say my TBR pile increased exponentially because of all of the series I filled out But the first 2 pics below are some of the ones I'm most excited about...

I know I am late but I had a very busy weekend!

As you know Kobo made me lose my credit card for excessive use in a foreign country. It seems now with them using World Pay even though it says U.S. on the statements the card issuer counted them as Kobo trying to get around the system. My card issuer calls it fraud. So they closed my card. It has nothing to due with the amounts but the way World Pay charges their transactions. I was given a bunch of terms and conditions.

I tried to explain it's the new checkout system and it's full of glitches but they wont budge.

You would think they would just block Kobo or World Pay instead of penalizing me for something I have no control over. So if you have a Green Dot card or a card issued by GE Money Bank don't use it at Kobo! Paypal Debit card is also issued by them and Amazon and several other cross branded cards. Google for a list. I wouldn't want anyone else in my position because they will blame you not the merchant.

Now with that said I had a nice weekend. I bought a RCA 7" Tablet online from Walmart and it was too cheaply made and had angle view to where you could only see the screen if the tablet laid flat. I took it back and got a Nextbook 7" Premium tablet ($80) which is really nice for a budget tablet it's not ideal for reading but I didn't get it for that. So I did some holiday shopping!.

Due to my card being cut off I didn't buy much books this week. Nine books and one Audible isn't bad. I did not read at all this week.

Also just a heads up with the Holidays here I probably wont be on as much as I like so if you see something free please post it. I will probably get over here in the late afternoon early evening so I don't want anyone to miss out on freebies or deals that expire.

If any of you see some a good Christmas Romance books that aren't like 4th or 8th in a series please let me know. It doesn't need to be on sale.

I will have my phone with me so I can check in various times of the day I just can't post links from it without wanting to throw it against the wall.

Edit: I forgot two books! so it's 11 books and 1 audible. The two missing ones are the Jane Bond books.

I got those Virginia Kantra books, too... you have contributed to my addiction! Awesome...don't stop

I've done a lot of shopping in Mexico... so I hope nothing goes wrong there. I've used my debit card - so far nothing has happened. Fingers crossed.

Even though the Kobo format information does not include Blackberry and when I bought it I was informed that a preview had downloaded to my library, I was given an non-DRM epub of the entire book.

Blossom, do you want to know only about full-length books or novellas, too? I plan to start reading many of my Christmas novellas once I finish my great Calibre double-check-and-reconvert project. I should finish dealing with all of my new books today and then I can get back to the project (I was almost done with the Qs when Kobo gave us the magic coupon). I have to finish up the various reading challenges at AAR, but otherwise late November/December I read a lot of novellas.

Free from Smashwords:

A Counterfeit Christmas Summons by Ada Stone. FreeReadFeed lists it as free from Amazon, too, but it is not so at the German Amazon site.

**This novella was previously found in A Summons From Yorkshire and Ladies & Gentlemen...

Lady Emma Whitton has decided its time to take her future in her own hands. She has been in love with Viscount Heathfield since she was in leading strings. Unfortunately, it's been almost that long since she's laid eyes on her brother's old friend and vice versa. Tired of waiting for him to remember her, Emma pens a holiday invitation (in her brother's hand) to Heathfield and waits as patiently as she is able for her one true love to arrive.

Heath isn't quite certain what to make of the very strange summons he received, but his curiosity is most definitely piqued. He heads north to Danby Castle, only to find that his very orderly life is about to be turned upside down.

Free from ARe:

Angel in Marble by Elaine Coffman (Ellora's Cave).

Mackinnons, Book One.

Nicholas Mackinnon always gets the woman he wants, until he comes to Indianola, Texas, to build a ship and encounters spirited but wounded Tibbie Buchanan. Hurt by the past that surrounds her like a self-imposed prison, she shuns all men. But Nick isn’t a man who’s easily discouraged. He chips away at her defenses, vowing to gain her trust and proving that her destiny is to be loved by him, even if he has to follow her to the ends of the earth…as he almost does.

Quinn is betrayed by his brother and sentenced to a life in prison. Only the thirst for revenge keeps him alive. He will do anything to escape.

WYOMING WILDFLOWER

All Sonnie Mancuso wants is to be needed by her father. Unfortunately, he already has a daughter--six, to be exact--and all he needs is a son.

Orphaned in the slums of New York, fifteen-year-old Lance Harmon needs a home. Sonnie’s father gives him one, on the cattle-rich Rocking M ranch. Through the years, Lance learns to love the land, the work . . . and Sonnie.

But Vince Mancuso’s health is failing, and there’s trouble on the Wyoming range. Sonnie returns home to claim the legacy that’s rightfully hers . . . but learns Lance has already claimed it.

LADY GYPSY

Liza was born to roam the land with her mother’s people, but she's shamed by the sin that made her forever different.

Reese has set down roots deep in the Nebraska prairie. His dreams are sure to come true with a new railroad and a proper wife and child.

But Liza is accused unfairly by Reese’s people, and she is forced to flee the security of her world to seek safety in his. When Reese’s careful plans for success are threatened, he must fight to save all he’s worked for.

Will it cost him the love he’s found with the beautiful, black-eyed woman with red-gold hair? His Lady Gypsy?

BROKEN BLOSSOMS

Carleigh wants only to escape her father’s lies and find the mother she never knew. When she flees into the California wilderness, Trig is blackmailed by her unscrupulous father to chase after her.

But as a special agent for the United States government, he is drawn into an opium smuggling ring only Carleigh and her mother can help expose, and he is forced to choose between two loves–Carleigh or his country.

Will it cost him the only family he has left in the world? Or will he find new life with the beautiful woman whose very blood marked her his enemy?
