Yup! I went crazy on Better World Books again. It is one of my favourite places to get books online*, as I can get my much-loved US hardcovers at super discounted price. Also, free worldwide shipping!

*I keep meaning to do a blogpost about my favourite book-buying sites – yay? or nay?

Anyhow, here’s what I got:

• The Stone Child by Dan Poblocki – This has been on my wishlist for many, many years but as it never came out in the UK (I think), it was hard to find. Love the cover: it gives me some many Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil feels.
• The Owl Keeper by Christine Brodein-Jones – Same as above: I’ve wanted this ages but had never seen it in a store! Happy to FINALLY have it.
• Eon: Dragoneye Reborn by Alison Goodman – Even though I have the sequel, Eona, I never purchased the first in the series! I had been looking for a particular cover, but gave up on that when I saw it listed on Better World Books.

• When the Sea is Rising Red by Cat Hellisen – This got great reviews when it came out, and the cover is so very, very creepy. Love it.
• Only the Good Spy Young, Cross my Heart and Hope to Spy, and Don’t Judge a Girl by her Cover by Ally Carter – Alas, one of these copies came without its dust jacket! *cries*  I got the US editions of these books to match my copy of the first (which I bought at the Strand) but I do prefer the UK covers.
• Warped by Maurissa Guibord – Remember this one? The UNICORN TAPESTRY BOOK. *hoards*

• Gunn’s Golden Rules by Tim Gunn – My fashion guru! Can’t wait to go through this.
• Graveminder by Melissa Marr – I haven’t read a Marr book since the meh second book in her Fae series. But I am hoping her standalone books are better!
• The Faerie Ring by Kiki Hamilton – I know, how have I never read this? I had this on my to-buy list back in 2011… so I am definitely late!

That’s it for now! I actually have a few more books to haul, but I am waiting for just one more to come (CRESS, where are you?!) before I post about them. Hopefully next week!

Happy reading!
