SQA - WHEEEEEE!

Edit: THEY HAVE ARRIVED!!!!!

SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I didn't want to say anything on Wednesday but uh, yeah, Amazon.ca had Branded by Fire showing as IN STOCK!!

I was floored so what did I do? I bought 40 bucks worth of books to fill out an order and bloody hell, it shipped today and if I'm really lucky it'll be here tomorrow!!

Loretta Chase is a hit or miss author for me. While she has written one of my favourite romances of all time - Mr. Impossible, she's also written Miss Wonderful and Lord Perfect - ow, ow. Still, I'll keep coming back hoping for another hit hence, Don't Tempt Me.

Meredith Duran's Bound by Your Touch is a book I have only heard good things about and hey, it was also in stock so one easy click and it was in the online basket.



What Happens In London by Julia Quinn also fell into the virtual cart but this is another hit or miss author with me. I'm not a lover of the title but I think it's because it's contemporary - course, maybe the book is contemporary - yeah, I don't normally read back blurbs. Still, I was able to buy this one despite the title (amazing how that 39 bucks and it ships free can work out).

And, of course, I have to mention Branded by Fire by Nalini Singh. I love this author and have been waiting too long for this one. Sure enough, after ordering the book online on Canada Day (Wednesday stores were closed) I checked stock at my local bookstore late tonight and they now have 38 copies.

So yes, I will admit it to one and all, if I don't have a book package in the mail tomorrow I will end up at the bookstore to buy Branded by Fire. I'm not proud of my inability to suppress my 'gotta have it now' impulse but obviously I'm not horribly shamed by it either.

Where I know I'm crazy is that I won't actually have any reading time until Sunday night when Bob has to leave on business. Reading palooza begins immediately afterwards, which is why I will have the book in the house on Sunday night even though the mail might not show until Monday morning.

Bad Cindy.

But I'll have the book.

And in my brain that makes all things equal.

LOL, I got Branded by Fire yesterday :D I told you it would be in store on Thursday! :)

Hope your package comes in today! but that's being pretty optimistic ^_^;

Although having 2 copies of a good book is never bad.

Nath - you are my forever friend - you have to do a post about book dates - I think you did once but I was stuck on publishers names. I promise to pay attention this time ;)

I was wondering which one of you was going to win this one. Cindy just return the mailed one with the bill from the store if you get it today. You guys have as much willpower as I don't LOL!!

Mary - I started it this morning and wish everyone would go away so I could just sit and enjoy. Nope. Tomorrow is my day of reading!
