Book Shopping and a special delivery by the mailman

I had big plans to spend money on books today only to find that most of what I was hoping to buy wasn't at Borders or Barnes & Noble! I did however find 2 books and I also got a book in the mail that I'm excited about reading!

I won The Vampire's Assistant (And Other Tales From The Cirque Du Freak) by Darren Shan From Anna at Anna's Book Blog



Darren Shan is just an ordinary schoolboy who loves to ride bikes and hang out with his three best friends. Then one day Darren and his friends stumble across an invitation to visit the Cirque Du Freak, a strange and mysterious freak show. Almost as if by destiny, Darren wins a ticket and what follows is his horrifying descent into the dark and bloody world of vampires.

I was able to find these 2 books at Barnes & Noble

Skin Game by Ava Gray



Kyra's a con woman and a thief who can steal her target's strongest skill. But when she becomes the target of a hit man, she won't be able to hide from the passion that engulfs them.

A Highlander Christmas by Dawn Halliday, Cindy Miles and Sophie Renwick



A festive anthology featuring three all-new stories, three sexy Scotsmen, and a magical holiday setting.

An enchanting trio of paranormal Christmas stories:

Dawn Halliday's Winter Heat...Lost in a blizzard, a young woman casts a spell over the brooding Highland warrior who rescues her.

Cindy Miles's A Christmas Spirit...A museum curator's tour of a Scottish castle leads to an unexpected encounter with a dead-sexy spirit.

Sophie Renwick's Yuletide Enchantment...Passion blooms between an anxious bride-to-be and a dark, sensual stranger from another world.

The clerk at Barnes & Noble and I had a very long discussion about the hottie on the cover of this one....she said she unpacked the books when they came in and it got passed around a lot amongst the ladies in the store! :)
