Book Outlet Book Haul


Contrary to what The Husband might think (*cough*), I don't buy that many books. No, really, I don't. Quit laughing! :) I one-click a Kindle book now and then, and I'm even kind of cheap when I do that. (I'll rarely go over $2.99 for a Kindle... I have my limits.) And I'll buy physical copies when it comes to my small handful of favorite authors - or when I'm dying to read a new release that I'm sure I'll love (I'm looking at you, Red, White & Royal Blue). So book hauls aren't really a thing for me. 

But a couple weeks ago I was casually perusing Book Outlet - something I hadn't done in probably a year - and what do you know? All the things! I want that book! And that one! And there's another one!


And, before you could say #NoRegrets, I had 18 books in my cart. So that happened. 
  

And because we all enjoy enabling each other sharing (sorrynotsorry), here are all my new pretties. For those interested, I'll include the Book Outlet price (at the time I ordered) in case you're tempted to nab one (or 18) for yourself. (nudge-nudge)


More Than We Can Tell - Brigid Kemmerer ($5.99)
Rev is one of my favorite fictional characters ever. I love adding the hardcover version of his story to my shelf.

9 Days & 9 Nights - Katie Cotugno ($4.89)
After loving Cotugno's 99 Days, I cannot believe I haven't read this yet. So coming across this one was a real score.

Emmy & Oliver - Robin Benway ($5.99)
Until Far From the Tree came out, this was my favorite by Benway. I adore these two main characters.

After the Game and Losing the Field - Abbi Glines ($6.49 each)
I read After the Game but only had the uncorrected e-arc and I haven't read Losing the Field yet, so I was excited to grab both of these.

The Impossibility of Us and Kissing Max Holden - Katy Upperman ($4.89 and $3.89)
I read both of these as e-arcs and love having physical copies for my shelf. Katy is a fantastic new voice in contemporary YA.

The Way I Used to Be - Amber Smith ($3.89)
I initially listened to this on audio several years ago and it was unforgettable. I'd like to do a re-read with a physical copy.

Riot - Tillie Cole ($4.89)
My first experience with Tillie Cole was an epic fail but I'm willing to give her another try. (Especially at this price.)

Riveted and Salvaged - Jay Crownover ($4.89 each)
Having just recently listened to both of these on audio (and loving them) I jumped at the chance to nab copies at such a great price.

Sin & Suffer - Pepper Winters ($4.39)
I'm still fairly new to Pepper Winters, but I know I want to read more from her.

Most of All You - Mia Sheridan ($4.39)
I adore Mia Sheridan and this one was already on my TBR.

I Found You - Lisa Jewell ($7.59)
Ditto with Lisa Jewell. I've been dying to read this one. 

Ride Hard, Ride Rough and Ride Wild - Laura Kaye ($2.79 each)
I just recently read my first by Laura Kaye. Grabbing the first three books in a series for less than $3 a book? Can't pass that up.

The Break - Marian Keyes ($3.29)
It's been a long time since I read anything from Marian Keyes but I've always enjoyed her storytelling.

So there you have it... my epic Book Outlet book haul. Because I so obviously needed more to read. (*looks away quickly*)

Have you read any of these books?
Do you ever order from Book Outlet?

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
It's a chance to share news - a post to recap the past week on your blog, 
showcase books and things we have received, and share news about what is
coming up on your blog in the week ahead. You can find the info here:


  • There's been a lot going on this week both at home and at the office and it made for some busy days.
  • Our last class in the beginners yoga series was Thursday and I was sad to see it come to an end. But I'm looking forward to stepping into a "regular" class, maybe on the weekend instead of a weeknight.
  • Had appointments for The Husband and I yesterday for our yearly eye exams and new glasses/contact lenses. Cha-ching! Thank goodness for those FSA accounts. :)
  • I pre-ordered three books this week and am so excited for them all. The Bride Test - because I loved it so much and want a physical copy, The Unhoneymooners - because it's Christina Lauren and that cover (!!), and Red, White & Royal Blue because I'm crazy-excited to read it.
      

And now for your listening/viewing pleasure... :)





I think I've managed five posts per week for the previous two weeks but I also said in my last Sunday Post that it wouldn't be happening a third week in a row. LOL I knew it was going to be a busy week so I'm surprised I even managed two posts this week.

Short Take Reviews:
Getting Schooled by Emma Chase & Gentleman Sinner by Jodi Ellen Malpas



WHAT I READ IN THE LAST WEEK:
WHAT I'M CURRENTLY READING: 

    

The Unhoneymooners - Christina Lauren
I'm only about 20% in but there have been so many laugh out loud lines/moments in this one already. I'm curious to learn more about Ethan... and I already want a book about Olive's cousin Diego. :)



PHYSICAL BOOKS: 

I read an arc of this last year and it was such a surprise hit. The hardcover was under $10 on Amazon and who can pass that up?

I am so excited to read this one! Last year I pre-ordered the paperback of The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros - partly because it sounded fabulous and partly because pre-orders came with a bonus book co-written by Rebecca and Jay! There were some delays with the printing so I finally received it yesterday and it's a beauty! 

KINDLE BOOKS: 

I've been meaning to read this one and when it dropped to 99¢ I nabbed it.

eARCS FOR REVIEW:

Grabbing a new release from K.A. Tucker is a no-brainer. And when it involves a second-chance romance, I'm even more excited.






How was your week? Any new books? Any news to share? 
I'd love to hear about it!

  • It's been a week and I feel like I'm still adjusting to the time change. Anyone else?
  • Yoga class #2 of 6 was this week and was a little more challenging. I love that it's something I'm sharing with The Husband and my mom and we're all enjoying it.
  • Friday night was a birthday dinner for my mom. It was her first birthday in 58 years without my dad. I know she was feeling the loss so I was so happy that the whole family was in attendance. We laughed and had a great time and kept it upbeat.
  • Discovered a new Greek restaurant last night. Yay! Our old place closed and it was awesome to find a new option. I was happily stuffed with tzatziki and pita.
  • Girl Plus Books turns 4 this week! I'll be celebrating with a giveaway so be on the lookout!

Review: Watching You by Lisa Jewell


WHAT I READ IN THE LAST WEEK:

Loved it. I loved being back in Velaris, the connection between Feyre and Rhys, the banter between the inner circle, and a peek at what's on the horizon while still enjoying a kind of slice-of-life look at the characters while they prepare to gather for Solstice. So glad I didn't listen to others and skip this one!

WHAT I'M CURRENTLY READING: 

         
Daisy Jones & The Six - Taylor Jenkins Reid
I am so into this one it's ridiculous. I think about it when I'm not reading it, I want to look up the music and articles about the band (reminder to self #872: they are fictional), and I don't want the story to end.

In my WWW Wednesday post, I was saying how I wasn't warming to main character Avett and I just wasn't sure how this one was going to go. After I don't know how many books, why do I not trust Jay Crownover? The woman consistently delivers characters and stories that I love so why would Charged be any different? Avett may be self-destructive (or was) but she actually has a heart of gold and will always do for others before herself. And Quaid is downright dreamy. :)


KINDLE BOOKS: 
Sarina released all three Ivy Years novellas in one bind-up. Yay!

eARC FOR REVIEW:
An arc of JLA's new series? 
A spin-off of the Dark Elements series?
Day. Made.

It was a busy week with work, physical therapy appointments and packing. I'd love to kick back and spend today reading (and napping) but there's still so much packing to do. The Husband made another Home Depot run yesterday for more boxes. And my beautiful library has gone from this to this:


     

I've seen several people comment on their cooler temps and fall-like weather... and I'm so jealous. It's still hitting 90 degrees here and that's why this watermelon granita is looking so refreshing. And so simple!

WHAT I FINISHED IN THE LAST WEEK:
      
 I finished Everything Under the Sun by Jessica Redmerski and wow, what a read! Yes it was a long one (600+ pages) but I was so invested and was turning pages as fast as I could. This one was anything but dull! I was pretty sure the ending would break me... and it did. And now I desperately need the next book. And it was pretty cool to see Jessica leave a comment on my review! :)

WHAT I'M CURRENTLY READING: 
This one is so living up to the hype! Thanks to Sam and Lindsi for badgering gently encouraging me to read this one. I love Stella, I adore Michael, and depending on how much packing I get done today I will probably finish this tonight. Loving it!

WHAT I'M CURRENTLY LISTENING TO:
On a Tuesday - Whitney G.
I'm listening to the audio version of this one for an upcoming blog tour. It's my first by Whitney G. and I'm enjoying it so far. I like the "then" and "now" narrative but Charlotte sure is one stubborn lady!
    

          

I'm intrigued by this series since it has a military aspect.
I've looked at this one for ages and since it was $0.99 this week...
The cover is so cheesy but I'm trash for Abbi Glines.
I've read three from this series and they're fun light romances.
