Turn Around Tuesday...

I bet you are wondering why am I calling Tuesday "Turn Around" day...
Well, let me start off by saying that my work computer is as slow as molasses in the winter time!!! And if I even try to get online, it takes F-R-E-A-K-I-N-G F-O-R-E-V-E-R to upload just the home page... So, getting online to see what you guys are up too - is impossible. Then I feel like a smuck, because when I get home, I try to go visit everyone's page... I know sometimes you can't be Superwoman and that pisses me off!!!! Anyway... I feel like I miss you guys so much. Then I am trying to be the good girl and go to bed within a decent hour... (Yea, tell that to the books that are screaming at me to read them!!) So, with all of that... I am trying!!! I have dropped by some of your place's and have to admit that I am little jealous!!!

Won't bored you with all the details from the weekend... but I will share with you... My trip to Borders and Wal-Mart this past Saturday... I could not resist the 5th free book!!! And this is what I walked away with....

This book was actually in the back of one of Lord of the Satyr's Brothers... The book sounded absolutely delicious!!! Could you have resisted... Then for some reason, the next books... I noticed a trend... Ms. Lori Foster's name. I have not read anything by her yet.. I do have one book that I have been trying to get too... but I found these books to hot to resist!!!! Wouldn't you agree....





Then of course when I saw this... I immediately thought of my ladies at Lust in Time!!! How could I have passed this up!!!!
Then I went to Wal-Mart and found these two little gems... And what can I say, I am being sucked into the historcial world... Thanks to Barbara over at Happliy Ever After!





Then I won this precious little book over at Bitten By Books!

Now, if you made it this far with me... I have to tell you that... This is my 100th post!!!! YAYAYAY for me!!! And I have a few new friends to add to that!!
With all of that... Stay tune to my next post for a little give away... I promise to try to make it fun....

  1. Hey Cecile! You got a nice bunch of books :). Tortured is on the shelves where you are? I wonder if they are here too. I just posted my review for it this morning. Can't wait to read your thoughts when you get to it!

  2. I can't wait for Tortured :) And What Happens in London was a favorite of mine so far this year. I swear I want to see a photo of your bookshelves!! Maybe we all should do it one day.

  3. Hey Cecile!!

    Nice haul girl.. You always do so well out on these unplanned book buying sprees...

    Don't worry about the blogging girl! When you get to it, you get to it. Sometimes you need a break - don't kill yourself... :)

  4. Wow, that's quite a haul! Good for you.

    I know what you mean about the computer thing. I just can't visit everyone and it's frustrating but you can only do so much, right?

    Take care, and catch ya later...

  12. I just finished Prey yesterday. Wow, that was damn good book. None stop action. Books 3 & 4 trump the first two books by a long shot. Hope you enjoy it. :)

    I have Amanda McIntyre on my list too.

    Ugh, don't you just hate slow computers!!! Especially at work. Now, I am not just saying that because I can not get online, but it runs that slow while I am working!!! So, I have to do allll my commenting when I get home in between... "what you cooking for supper, Mom I need this, Do I have a clean uniform for work tomorrow, when is supper going to be ready, the dogs had an accident that i am not cleaning, phone ringing, dishes"... yea... SUPERWOMAN!!
