TBR Thursday is a weekly post where I draw attention to books by sharing with you the books I've purchased, books I've received for review, and 10 books on my TBR list.

Books Purchased:
I bought all of these books because the e-version was on sale for either $2.99 or $1.99!!
Story of a Girl, Sara Zarr
Buy It: Amazon / Barnes & Noble
Synopsis from Goodreads: When she is caught in the backseat of a car with her older brother's best friend - Deanna Lambert's teenage life is changed forever. Struggling to overcome the lasting repercussions and the stifling role of "school slut," she longs to escape a life defined by her past.
With subtle grace, complicated wisdom and striking emotion, Story of a Girl reminds us of our human capacity for resilience, epiphany and redemption.
The Boyfriend Thief, Shana Norris
Buy It: Amazon / Barnes & Noble
Synopsis from Goodreads: Avery James has her life planned out: this summer she'll work with a humanitarian program in Costa Rica, next year she'll graduate at the top of her class, and after that, college and medical school. Perfect, planned, total order.
The only problem: getting the rest of the money she needs for the trip before the deadline. Hannah Cohen, her biggest competition for the valedictorian title, makes an unexpected offer: If Avery can win over Zac Greeley and make him break up with Hannah before the end of the school year, a check for five hundred dollars is all hers. Faced with the prospect of spending yet another summer working as a giant hot dog, it's an offer Avery can't refuse.
Zac is nothing like Avery expected. Within his chaotic world of midnight slushie runs and spontaneous dance parties, her total order is quickly falling apart while Hannah seems poised to get everything she wants. But just how much is Avery willing to give up for the perfect, planned life?
Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress #1), Jeaniene Frost
Buy It: Amazon / Barnes & Noble
Synopsis from Goodreads: Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father—the one responsible for ruining her mother's life. Then she's captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unholy partnership.
In exchange for finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She's amazed she doesn't end up as his dinner—are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn't have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her newfound status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side . . . and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.

Wow, that's a huge list of books.
Oh, and Christine said to tell you, " if she doesn't put her book on goodreads.com Angla will come for her."
Consider yourself told. ;)
So many books! I got the first two b/c they look good & can't beat $2.99! :)
Donna- lol! It's up, I swear. No one has to get hurt.
Mandie - Yay! I'm so glad you bought them too. Now we can talk about them. Also, $2.99!! Yeah. I would buy so many more e-books if they were $2.99.
