TBR Thursday is a weekly post where I draw attention to books by sharing with you the books I've either purchased, won, borrowed, or received for review, plus 10 books currently on my TBR list.
-----------
Books Purchased:
Okay, I bought these books a few weeks ago but forgot to feature them, so I figured I'd do it now because, you see, I didn't buy any books this week. I know, crazy, right?!! It's been a busy week. I promise I'll be consumed by my addiction again real soon. P.S. - Being Human e-version is only $2.99 and Beautifully Broken is $0.99
Being Human, Patricia Lynne
Buy It: Amazon / Barnes & Noble
Synopsis from Goodreads: For Tommy, there is only one thing he needs to do: survive.
Only surviving isn't that easy. The hunt for blood can be tricky when humans know to fear the night. Desire sits on the edge of his mind, urging him to become the monster humans think he is. Vampire Forces, a special branch of police, is determined to turn every vampire to ash. Tommy included.
The only human Tommy can trust is his twin brother. A bond connects them, and with Danny's help, Tommy starts to understand the human world he struggles to survive in. He'll learn what friendships means and feel the sting of betrayal, find that sometimes the worst monsters are very human, and come to understand that family means more than blood.
Tommy just wants to survive and he knows what he needs to do. But with the number of humans that mean more to him than a meal growing, he'll learn there's more to life than simple survival. He'll discover being human doesn't mean being a human.
Beautifully Broken, Sherry Soule

Synopsis from Goodreads: Thirteenth daughter. Heritage witch. Demon slayer.
They say every town has its secrets, but that doesn’t even begin to describe Whispering Pines. The townsfolk are a superstitious lot and the mystical disappearance of a local teen has everyone murmuring about a centuries old witch’s curse.
Sixteen-year-old Shiloh Ravenwolf is a heritage witch from the Broussard family, a family both destined and cursed. When she takes a summer job at Ravenhurst Manor, she discovers a ghost with an agenda. That’s where she meets the new town hottie, Trent Donovan, and immediately becomes spellbound by his charms. Yet she is determined to discover the connection between them before it’s too late.
Finally, Shiloh's met someone who is supercute and totally into her, but Trent may be the next victim on the supernatural hit list. And Shiloh is the only person with the power to save him. Complicated much?
It sucks to have a destiny, especially since Shiloh would rather spend her summer being a normal girl who worries about clothes and boys, not the supernatural. But she’s never been normal and the stranger things become the more her own magical senses awaken.
With cryptic messages from a pesky wraith, she will begin to understand the mysterious significance of the strange mark branded on her wrist, and decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to protect the other teenagers in town.
Unfortunately, for Shiloh, not all ghosts want help crossing over. Some want vengeance.

Ahh, too many good books and I already have so many to read! I'll wait for your review on most, then :). I read Name of the Star and thought it was pretty good. The beginning was a little lackluster, but then it was a very interesting read.
