So, I have a book buying addiction. They are all so pretty and tempting and I can't help myself. Because of this problem I thought I would post my weekly book purchases - where the money comes out of my pocket. And yes, it isn't always weekly, but many times it is. So as a companion post to In My Mailbox (hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren), here is my Out of My Pocket post - which will always be posted on Saturdays as long as I have bought a book that week.Storm Glassby Maria V. Snyder

As a glassmaker and a magician-in-training, Opal Cowen understands trial by fire. Now it's time to test her mettle. Someone has sabotaged the Stormdancer clan's glass orbs, killing their most powerful magicians. The Stormdancers—particularly the mysterious and mercurial Kade—require Opal's unique talents to prevent it happening again. But when the mission goes awry, Opal must tap in to a new kind of magic as stunningly potent as it is frightening. And the further she delves into the intrigue behind the glass and magic, the more distorted things appear. With lives hanging in the balance—including her own—Opal must control powers she hadn't known she possessed…powers that might lead to disaster beyond anything she's ever known. (Amazon.ca)

I loved The Study series by this author and have been eagerly awaiting this new series from her. The second book in this series Sea Glass is slated to come out in September 2009 - I already have it on my wishlist and I haven't even started this one yet!I would have also bought Wings by Aprilynne Pike, but thought it was due out on the 24th the store still had not received it. But there's going to be one put aside for me when they get it - maybe I'll have another Out of My Pocket post next weekend!If you might be interested in posting your own Out of My Pocket, please leave a comment (and a link) below. I'm not going to get all cocky and post a Mr Linky thing since I think I only have about 7 readers. (haha)
