Arbor Gold Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I had a $100 gift card to Borders left over from my birthday, so I took the opportunity to buy a few books. I still have $48 left! It's been a while since I've wandered aimlessly around a bookstore, and it was a lot of fun. I came away with: To replace books I lent out and never got back: Cannery Row - John Steinbeck Tortilla Flat - John Steinbeck Siddhartha - Herman Hesse To read right now: Half of a Yellow Sun - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (details in the November reading thread) Eh...maybe. It's paperback and on a gift card, so not much harm done: Winterbirth - Brian Ruckley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 A few weeks ago I bought The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Karen Miller's The Innocent Mage - which I'm reading right now, and liking so much that yesterday I bought The Awakened Mage. I think I was able to convince a guy to buy The Blade Itself as well. He was already checking it out, so I extolled it's virtues and the fact that all three are coming out in 6 month intervals - he said he was convinced.

Nymeria87 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I finally bought my very first (yes, in my 20 years of age I haven't read one single book by him) Terry Pratchett book in a used book store. I was looking for Small Gods, but they didn't have it, so I got Reaper Man which sounds hilarious and I love British humor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LacyinTX Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Yesterday I picked up: Dreamsongs Vol.I - GRRM The Lady and the Unicorn - Chevalier Slaughterhouse Five - Vonnegut Ysabel - GG Kay I have so many books on my TBR shelves, I don't know that I'll ever get caught up. I guess that is a good problem to have. Much better than free time and nothing to read! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 Daniel Abraham's Shadow in Summer turned in bookstores down here yesterday, so I nabbed me a copy. I also noticed Elantris by Brandon Sanderson was in so I got that one too. Thirdly, I picked up Scarlet (the sequel to Hood) Stephen Lawhead.

saint777 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Massive restraint. Only picked up three: Dreamsongs Vol 1. by GRRM In the Cities of Coin and Spice by Valente Selling Out by Robson I also picked up and read the last two pages of Confessor. The last page was a self-righteous speech on living your life. I also read the first sentence of the first book(something about a vine). That is all I care to read of The Sword of Truth.

LacyinTX Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I just ordered: Luck in the Shadows, Stalking Darkness and Traitor's Moon - Flewellling and Cryptonomicon - Stephenson I just finished Flewelling's Tamir Trilogy. I loved it. It was one of those that I can't stop reading, but when I get to the end I am sad that it is over. Babygirl said, "Well, just read 'em again like you always do." Well, DUH. I guess I should have thought of that! Instead, I am shifting gears and reading The Lady and the Unicorn by Tracy Chevalier Edit cause I can't type. Edit again: UPS just delivered my books. w00t!
