What's On My Kindle? First 2016 Edition!

Welcome to the first 2016 edition of "What's On My Kindle?"  If it is a new year, that means Christmas has come and gone, and what do I usually get for Christmas (from at least 1 person)...that's right, an Amazon gift card.  What do I get with an amazon gift card? KINDLE BOOKS!  WEEEE!!!  

So yes, there was an influx of Kindle books (though not as many as usual).  I did buy a couple of higher priced books this year that I'd been lusting after so I didn't stretch the gift cards as widely as I usually do.  However, I did get some really good ones that I'm definitely interested in (hopefully) getting to this year. 

1. Glitched (Lexy Cooper Mysteries #4) - Christa Charter
2. The Soulkeepers Series Box Set: Books 1-6 - G.P. Ching
3. Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda - Becky Albertalli
4. Days of Blood & Starlight (Daughter of Smoke & Bone #2) - Laini Taylor
5. Night of Cake & Puppets (Daughter of Smoke & Bone Novella) - Laini Taylor
6. The Dragonfly Season (Streetlights Like Fireworks #2) - David Pandolfe

I know, not a lot of books, but they are ones that I needed, wanted or were missing in various series.  Needed the Lexy Cooper book to finish out the series thus far, needed book 2 in Daughter of Smoke & Bone, the novella was a bonus. I had like one or 2 books in the Soulkeepers series, but honestly could not pass up getting the box set for something like $0.99 now could I? 

So, if you got any Amazon or B&N gift cards this year for Christmas...what did you get? Inquiring minds and all that! 

You remind me of the babe...

Those six words popped up on my Facebook newsfeed, and when someone starts a song from one of my all time favorite movies...I must continue the song! I did, the entire opening verse to Dance Magic Dance by David Bowie from Labyrinth.

I'm glad I did.

Why? Because they were worth a fantastic gift from author Sinead MacDoughlas.  A $10 Amazon gift card...which by the way was mapped out to the last two pennies before the email even hit my inbox.  As if reading my mind, I'd checked one of my daily deal mails that had also popped up in my inbox and one of my favorite books is on sale for $2.99...so guess which book ended up on the list?  Exactly.

So, wanna see the new books added to my Kindle?

1.) Fractured Fairy Tales by Catherine Stovall, Leah D.W. Victoria Kinnard, Sinead MacDoughlas (and many more!)

This book has been on my wishlist since it came out in December last year.  I am really looking forward to getting into this book...I think it just managed to worm its way to the top of my TBR pile, and will be read as soon as I finish Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi.











2,) Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor

I have read this book before, absolutely LOVE it!  There are not enough words to express how much I absolutely adore this book and the subsequent books in this series (though I've not yet gotten my hands on book three).  This book was the one that I mentioned earlier that was on sale for $2.99 and I had to add it to the list of what I'd purchased with this gift card because otherwise it would have cost the bulk of the gift card to get! Will more than likely get the other two with my Christmas gift card.  We will see.

3.) Whispers from Mirrowen Trilogy by Jeff Wheeler


This book actually caught my attention, and the fact that all three books in this series were on sale (and I had money to spend),  I figured I would give the trio a try.  I will decidedly let you know at least how the first book is, and more than likely, knowing my book OCD I will finish the series anyway.
