BB&B (Bought, Borrowed and Bagged) is a weekly meme, inspired my The Story Siren and Pop Culture Junkie, where we share with you the books that we have bought, borrowed or bagged (won or gifted) plus a recap of the previous week's reviews, upcoming reviews, on going events and book movie or television news.
BB&B is an homage Barron's Books & Baubles from Karen Marie Moning's smash hit series, Fever.

I FELL OFF THE WAGON!
Three of these I requested last year, then the rest I can't help but download/request. BUT this little exercise made me realize that I don't have to be stalking NG &EW on a daily basis and it made me more picky about my requests. I'll still try to not request anything til the end of January but it's really, really challenging!

Ohh Dirty magic, I want that one
ReplyDeleteIt's up in NG!
DeleteBraine, I fell off the wagon as well. I got Dirty Magic as well. Looks like you got some great books in the mail. Bird After Bird looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteYour SW, Grace
You & Shelley made me get off the wagon!!!
DeleteI am reading Madman's Daughter and have about hundred pages left. I got the arc last year but was too busy, then they sent me the new book...It is creepy and atmospheric. Awesome haul my friend.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I wish they send me books like that too!
DeleteI'm so interested in reading K. Cooper books...they look so good!
ReplyDeleteYou must! I know you read the occasional Steampunk so I'm sure you'll enjoy this.
DeleteWhoa, you did fall off the wagon but you got some good books. Enjoy!
ReplyDelete*hangs head in shame*
DeleteWeak for him sounds good, hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThe teaser is really good, I hope the rest of the book is just as good :)
DeleteI got The Madman's Daughter eBook a while back, but it's been sitting on my Kindle ever since. I'm really bad about buying super sale-priced eBooks then taking forever to read them, lol. Game of Thrones Season 4 trailer on HBO tonight @ 8:58!!!
ReplyDeleteI missed the trailer coz I got busy watching the Golden Globes!
DeleteAh, well, falling off the wagon is allowable under these circumstances: Tempered, The Madman's Daughter and of course, Dirty Magic! By the way, yes I am totally in on the buddy read for Tempered. See how things go over the next week or so!
ReplyDeleteYour fault, you and Grace... but yes, it is worth the fall LOL
DeleteI have to admit that I'm not big on EW. I have requested a few books on there but always get denied or ignored. I have more of a rapport with Netgalley so that's where I focus my time.
ReplyDeleteKristin @ Book Sniffers Anonymous
I agree! Now I just look for the downloadable ones and avoid the books where I have to request it.
DeleteLOL I didn't stay on the wagon either, Braine. You made quite a haul this week. I'm kinda jealous of Tangled and The Madman's Daughter...I really want to read those. They all look great though. :) And I'm gonna go check out Bird After Bird.
ReplyDeleteHey let me know if you want in on Bird After Bird, I'll hook you up :)
DeleteI don't even visit NG anymore unless I specifically want a particular book or the publisher asks me. It's just too easy to get too many!
ReplyDeleteI have the first of Karina Cooper's but I haven't read it yet. I did meet her and she's great! I'm really wanting Dirty Magic!
You got a lot of good ones. Enjoy!
I'm slowly working towards that. It's hard not to one-click stuff LOL
DeleteI try not to actively go seeking new review requests and I had the same thing happen when old requests that I'd forgotten about got approved and showed up. Look like they are some good ones at least. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm avoiding that now but it's so hard, Sophia!!! #imanaddict
DeleteLost of great books this week. Happy reading. Thanks for stopping by my Sunday Post.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting back :)
DeleteI have repossessed, I can't wait to read it! I couldn't have dirty magic because it was us and can only, I was so sad! But well now I'm waiting to receive it. happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI seriously need to binge on Shawntelle's books, I have 3 of it on my TBR
DeleteI love to see what new books everyone gets!! Awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
