Ok, cool twist. I'm game.
Dancing With Werewolves by Carole Nelson Douglas

Made a killing at a used book sale over the weekend. Brought home 21 books for less than 5 bucks. Also got another delivery from my blessing and curse BookDepository: The White Witch.
Doubled my December intake to make it 42 so far. Now I have to go and rearrange my bookshelves to make room for all these books. What fun.

X-Men Planet X by Michael Jan Friedman

Enough Xs there? :-)

Now kids, play nice! :-)

If this isn't Sci-Fi, I don't know what is. :-) Star Wars Trilogy - Episodes IV, V & VI by George Lucas

Prey by Michael Crichton, another great Sci-fi author I had forgotten about until now.

The Message by Katherine Alice Applegate

For "B" I gave the very last book in The Animorph's YA alien changeling series and for M I'll give the very first in the series. And yeah, "The Beginning" is actually the last book. :-)

Uh, CD, what happened to G?

Ghost Ship by Diane Carey

And then I think one of your "I's is:
I, Robot by Isaac Asimov, one of the greatest Sci-fi authors of all time.

CD, yeah, Greta and Brian just took over. ;-)
Let's see where we can go with your genre. I don't read much Sci-Fi, but I'll see what I can add. Probably going to be Juv. or YA fiction or Star Trek novels. :-)

The Beginning by Katherine Alice Applegate

Greta wrote: "I'm only at two books so far this month. Pathetic!!!"

Don't mean to make you feel bad, ;-) but I just got another book from BookDepository:



That brings me up to 20 now.

Ok, never mind the Y, here's a Z instead:
Zahrah the Windseeker by Nnedi Okorafor

Next person picks the new theme with their A.

Xoe: or Vampires, and Werewolves, and Demons, Oh My! by Sara C. Roethle

Hell yeah!!!"

Nice find, Greta. I'm gonna have to read that one.

As a thank you, here's a Y for you:
The Year of the Griffin by Diana Wynne Jones

I say the person who suggests the theme to begin with judges whether to skip the X and try for Y. Greta, your choice.

How about this one?
Xenocide by Orson Scott Card

Brought home another book from the used shelf at the library. That makes 19.

Greta wrote: "Thanks for the vote of confidence, Joseph.

Young adult fantasy.

The Amber Spyglass. Philip Pullman.

Now I'll let Brian and you do your speed-posting! And go!"

lol. Ok, Greta, I'll see what I can do. YA Fantasy is one genre I think I can have some fun with.

The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander

Greta wrote: "I wish I could play this game, but I'm sure whatever I come up with has been used before. Nuts."

Greta, there are plenty of titles to choose from. Since I started this mess, I say you pick the next genre and give us a title that begins with an "A". Ok? (Any genre other than Urban Fiction or stories that take place in the United Kingdom. I think you can find something, right? ;-) )

CD wrote: "So does anybody have a 'Z'?"

Not me, shall we just jump back to "A" and a new genre?

Welcome Greta, I think you'll fit in just fine with the rest of us whose bookshelves are full and wallets are empty. lol :-)

Greta wrote: "18 in 7 days?!"

Kind of easy to do when you work in a library. :-)
I basically get first dibs on newly withdrawn books.
Add in the Borders and Amazon gift cards I've got plus how inexpensive BookDepository is, and is it really that big a surprise? ;-) Truth is, I'm the poster boy for bibliomaniacs, aren't I? lol
