Musing Mondays asks you to muse about one of the following each week…
• Describe one of your reading habits.
• Tell us what book(s) you recently bought for yourself or someone else, and why you chose that/those book(s).
• Tell us what you’re reading right now — what you think of it, so far; why you chose it; what you are (or, aren’t) enjoying with it.
This week, I think I'll go with what book(s) I recently bought for myself and why I chose that/those book(s).
I actually recently purchased a bunch of books, including some from a Facebook group (where I got 5 hardcover books for $5), others from A Novel Idea bookstore, and then Laura Chapman's book, Hard Hats and Doormats, for my Nook.
So let's start with the easiest one for me to define why I bought it. That would be Hard Hats and Doormats. I bought it simply because I know Laura, I worked with her for several years and would like to see her earn something for her efforts. I'm sure I will enjoy the book and look forward to getting to read it.
Next was the collection of 5 books I picked up for $5 from the LinConsign sale group on Facebook. Those books were:
- Best Kept Secrets by Sandra Brown
- Lisey's Story by Stephen King
- Hey, Good Looking by Fern Michaels
- Origin in Death by Nora Roberts
- The Sexy Years by Suzanne Somers
Now, to be honest, these were purchased because I knew all but one of the authors and read books by each of the authors, so I figured these new books would be something good to read. I haven't touched them yet, but I intend to.
And finally the books I picked up from A Novel Idea, which were:
- Dark War by Glen Cook
- A Cruel Wind by Glen Cook
And these were because they were parts of series by Glen Cook I haven't read yet and want to.
If you haven't read the Black Company series by Glen Cook, I strongly encourage you to.
Thanks for joining me today on Musing Mondays. Feel free to leave your answers to the meme here.
