beniowa Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 My name is Ben and I'm a compulsive book shopper. Wait a minute...haven't I already been here this month? The Bonehunters by Steven Erikson (man the US covers just get worse and worse) Empire of Ivory by Naomi Novik The Electric Church by Jeff Somers Cartomancy by Michael A. Stackpole Destiny by Paul B. Thompson and Tonya C. Cook Isis, REG, count yourselves lucky. I stopped counting my pile when it got into triple digits. The Name of the Wind. Hard purchase, given that it has the worst cover ever. You must have gotten the homoerotic cover. The cover for the second book will be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max the Mostly Mediocre Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I think my Sept 4th order from Amazon has been lost in the mail. It shipped on the 11th from a distribution center that's a mere 30 miles from my house, and still not here; package tracking has nothing since its departure scan. Now three days over the maximum delivery estimate, so I guess I'll be putting in a claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Gods by Neil Gaiman (HC, 1. ed. I've read it before, but it was a library copy). Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson Inverted World and A Fugue for a Darkening Island by Christopher Priest.

Lawrence Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I just bought and received Black Man by Richard Morgan from the Book Depository and I am so pleased with it. Probably one of the most gorgeous covers I have seen in a while, especially while being a huge hardcover book. Gotta love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyrehead Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Two books I have been awaiting. One a long wait. Documents Concerning Rubashov the Gambler by Carl-Johan Vallgren and Imprimatur by Rita Monaldi and Francesco Sorti. Finally got my hands on an English translation. Hopefully they will try to catch up to the series and get the next two out without too long a wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrashalla Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I just picked up Winterbirth by Ruckley and Mad Ship by Robin Hobb (currently reading Ship of Magic, So I plan on finishing the trilogy before moving on to Ruckley's) Oddly enough, the day I decide to check out Mysterious Galaxy (SFF bookstore in San Diego) Jeff Lindsay was doing a signing and Q&A, so I got to meet the creator of Dexter. Cool guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
