December was HUGE month for books. Because of a box I ordered from a friend, and the garage sale and Book Bizarre finds, it may have been my biggest book spending spree of 2012.
Finally last week all the books came in, including a contest package from Harlequin's Winter Community Event. I also went book shopping at the bookstore where they had a buy two, get one free special.
Read on to see the new books I need to find room for on the bookshelf. This month will be milder for getting books.
Harlequin Community Event
I participated in the Community Event at Harlequin and was lucky to be the winner of a trilogy set from the author Kira Sinclair. They were all signed and personally addressed to me - Thank you Kara! I will treasure them and can't wait to read them.
All three sound divine and will be the first Harlequins I read this year.

Books-A-Million
Tuesday was a bit depressing so my friend and I went to the bookstore together to cheers ourselves up. They currently have a buy two, get one free special, which is hard to beat for new books. Here are the ones I found.
I had Many Blood Returns on my wishlist for awhile, as it's an anthology theme I want to finish out. I already have My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding. Still need My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon.
The Supplicant looked like an intriguing erotic book, which I read a few days after buying it. Review coming up soon.
Make Love the Bruce Campbell way is a treat - I still need to get his "If Chins could Kill" book. How could you not adore Bruce Campbell?
Graveminder is a find I kept seeing floating around Goodreads statuses. It sounds excellent and I'm very excited about this one.
Maybe this time is a complicated sounding romance. Sounds like there's tons going on in this one with a humorous twist.
Blood Magic is a Young adult which called to me both with it's cover and it's back cover blurb. It's also the first in a series.
The Big Book Box
My friend sent me a giant box of books to keep my company and clear up some of her shelves for room. She had a major amount of John Saul. Have a few of his to read already but now it seems almost his entire library!

I picked out from her Red Dragon, since I have the others in the series
Also I have wanted Frankenstein from Koontz for AGES now, so glad she had those
