Starting with the BooksOnBoard 50% off sale on Black Friday and ending with yesterday’s 50% off sale at Harlequin, I, uh, bought some books. To share my shame with you all, I’ve listed them all below. And, please, if you see me buying books at all before summertime, call the authorities.

To add to my shame, three of these books - The Law and Kate Malone, Abbie’s Outlaw and Renegade Most Wanted – are Harlequin Historicals. I’ve read maybe a handful of books in that line that I didn’t hate, and I think Carla Kelly wrote them. That’s what a sucker I am for historical westerns.
Also of note is how many straight up Presents are in this pile. I hope buying seven high-angst Presents doesn’t add regret to my already heaping portion of shame. I’m not totally sure why I bought so many.
Of the Superromances I picked up in this sale, only Mayberry is an author I’ve read before (and Fay Robinson, but that book’s a reissue of an old book.) I read and really enjoyed the Emmie Dark, and have high hopes for the others based on the samples I’ve read. Looking forward especially to the Vicki Essex book, as it has a Chinese-American heroine and the author is of Asian descent herself. Well, and because the sample was excellent.
Guess I better get reading…
Haha. One of those titles is “Restraint.” Perfect! Anyhow, it looks like you got some good reads here. I liked The Lady’s Secret and The Captive Bride. Several other titles are on my TBR. I am scared to look further lest I do too much buying myself. Happy reading!
That is just stupendous :) You now have a juggernaut of a TBR, in fact the biggest and baddest TBR ever
That is a wonderful haul! My only reason for holding back was my own recent 23 new books added in November to the already huge TBR and my no-book-buying-in-December-as-it-may-end-up-being-a-double-due-to-Christmas-presents rule.
Only 34 books? My haul is greater. o_O I haven’t counted, but I know it is. I might just tag them lizard-of-humiliation on GR… Because dear good lord, what have *I* done?!!!
My TBR now sits at 218.
Bad decisions: I make them.
