Noooo, no, no …. only one more week left in October. This is unacceptable! We’ve started doing college stuff for my son and I’m trying not to freak out. A couple of cross country scouts from nearby colleges came to watch him run and talk to him. He doesn’t even know if he wants to continue running for school after this year, though. So we’ll see. *whispers* I hope he does.
And I just want to say that it getting dark so early sucks!

I LOVE these three books, and I want everyone to read them. Now is the time to get them!
As you can see above, I reviewed Bird Box this last week and loved it! After my review posted, the priced dropped to $1.99 and will be there until November 3rd. It’s normally about $10, so get it now!
I Hunt Killers and Game, the 2nd book, are also only $1.99. Exciting!!
Have a great week!
Oooh! I’m really excited to read the I Hunt Killers series! Also super excited to read These Broken Stars! Awesome Haul!
Nice haul and I see we were drawn to some of the same Penguin books. I just grabbed Game. I loved book one. I cannot believe we will soon be rolling back the clocks.
Interesting haul. Nice covers too! 🙂
I hate the dark nights too. The clocks have just gone back over here too. that’s good your son has been spotted by a scout, it would be shame if he decides not to continue but as a parent one has to go with their decision when it comes to sport and hobbies. Have a good week. 🙂
I think something is wrong with me. I saw Hostage Bargain and saw two guys on the cover and I am like hells yeah! Threesome. Then I saw the third guy hiding back there and I got all hot and bothered. LOL. Click!!!
Great haul, this week.
I would have to check out your reviews – you posted some of my favorites.
Happy Sunday!
This year is going so fast isn’t it? We’re just about to start orientation for my baby who’s starting school next year.
Hope you enjoy your new books and I love a good deal as well. I might just have to check out those books.
Have a great week.
Yay for the Darynda book! Happy reading!
Heh I LOVE winter! No more hot, humid nights and noisy kids! A nice warm fire and a good book is bliss for me! Enjoy your books!
Looks like you have some pretty books to read as well! :] I really need to purchase the Seventh Grave.. I freaking love that series. 😀

And I’m reposting this comment because it linked to the wrong blog, for some reason… :[
Been hearing a lot about Seventh Grave. Going to have to check out that series. I see you have Inferno Park. I nabbed that one too. I read his book Ghost Trapper and really enjoyed it. I’ve also been wanting Bird Box. Thanks for the shout out about the sale. Going to go grab it!
This year has flown by! It’s crazy to think November is less than a week away. Great haul, hope you love all your books! Have a great week and happy reading 🙂
Bird Box looks very interesting. Inferno Park has an interesting cover. Great stack of books.

I hope he keeps running — especially if they offer scholarships for it. The cost to benefit analysis for scholarship versus student loans would be convincing!
I totaly hate this getting early thing and it gets worse when we have to change time in two weeks. It sucks hard core to have it dark before five o clock. Yep, got Bird Box. I just got the sequel for that novella by Meghan Spooner and I loved the first one so I am going to get the novella. No! Your son can’t go away to college
The Hostage Bargain looks interesting. I’m not happy either about how early it’s turning dark. The time change will suck. 🙁
That’s fantastic about the scouts coming to see your son! That’s a hard choice for him, to continue or to stop. I hope he’ll be happy with his choice.
Have a good week!
It really is crazy it’s almost November. It just…how did that happen already?!! lol
I hope he keeps running too. I think it’s always good for kids to be involved with something especially with a big change up like college. Totally agree that this being the last weekend in October is completely unacceptable! I just got the first Donna Alward in that series so I can’t wait to see what you think of the 2nd one!
I just read your review of Bird Box; wow, this sounds awesome. I think I need to grab the book since it’s a good price right now. And the last week of October already?! I know, it’s insane!!
It does suck and after next weekend when the time changes, it will suck even more!
Good luck with all the college stuff. I can’t even imagine doing that yet.
And, congrats on all the books!!
I absolutely LOVED the Jasper Dent series! Every single book! And I really need to read Tarryn Fisher. I have a couple of her books that I’ve borrowed from my sister-in-law, but I just haven’t gotten around to them yet. Hope you have a great week!
Sandy @ Somewhere Only We Know
Thanks for THE GAME alert, I need that!
Lots of guys on the cover of Hostage Bargain… busy woman you think??
I hope your son keeps running, always nice to be recognised for your talents.
Have a great week girl!
I’m literally completely surprised that it’s October already, but this end of the year there’s so much to look forward to! I haven’t heard of any of those books before but hope you enjoy reading them Christy! Lots of great romance to look forward to 🙂
yay hope you enjoy Seventh Grave!
