Follow Friday #7


Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.


Today’s question is: “Christmas in July! Someone gives you a gift card for two books (whatever that costs). What two books will you buy?”

MY ANSWER:

The most obvious choice would be completing my IAD series by Kresley Cole, so Pleasure of a Dark Prince and Demon from the Dark (books 9 and 10). On the other hand, I've got around 20 books on my wishlist, so it'd probably take me a week to decide which ones to buy. However, at the moment I'd go for Farewell, My Queen by Chantal Thomas and Archangel of Mercy by Christina Ashcroft.

    Pleasure of a Dark Prince and Demon from the Dark are both incredible books, but wait til you get to Lothaire's book that book will blow you away.

    Thanks for stopping by :)
    Have a great weekend!

    Don't you just love the idea of getting to pick any two books you want?! To me it's a little overwhelming, since I never rush into buying anything. I feel so guilty having books on my shelf that I haven't read yet, and then going and buying new ones to read first. So I would have a more difficult time of spending it. But boy, I do love gift cards!! :)

    Thanks for stopping by my FF & TGIF!

      I could use a gift card now, but if I actually had it I'd have trouble deciding what to buy first. I feel guilty about having unread books on my shelves, too. I actually banned myself from buying new ones until I read some of those.
