Richard’s comments from the Sword & Sorcery: "An earthier sort of fantasy" group.

On kindle I'm reading Pass on the Cup of Dreams, which is the sequel to The Mace of Souls.

To me, YA was always about shorter page counts and less details.

Some good titles there.

I absolutely love to hunt for old books in book stores, thrift stores, and libraries. I also enjoy sharing my finds.

This past week I've been on the road working and had a little down time in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Sadly they do not have a bookstore.

The one thrift store was in sad shape but they had quite a few books. Oddly no fantasy or science fiction books. I persevered and was rewarded with a copy of Genghis Khan in great shape at a very affordable price. This is the first title I've ever found by Lamb. The cover by Ken Kelly is nice too.

Vicksburg boasts a library with a massive used book room. Unfortunately they aren't organized to any system I could tell. But I did find The Iron Cage, Night of Masks, Uncharted Stars, and To Ride a Rathorn. My home library sells each book priced individually, but Vicksburg sells them $.25 an inch. You could really clean up with all the western books they had.

Sullivan's books are a pleasure to read.

For me: Black River, Art of War: Anthology for Charity, and a re-read of Warrior of Llarn.

That's gold!!

Oooohhh!

Just finished A Mirror Against All Mishap. A great sequel!

Thinking about starting Art of War: Anthology for Charity or Pass on the Cup of Dreams.

Mailbox goodies? Awesome!

Thank you, Bill!

Hey Bill, I went to check out your Thurl story on Amazon, but it seems the link no longer works...

I enjoyed the whole series! Read them many years ago.

Just picked up the first in that series. Looks like fun."

Hope you enjoy it

I picked up A Mirror Against All Mishap by one of our own, Jack Massa.

I recently saw Derek read Swordsmen and Supermen and I've been looking for a copy for ages. This made me casually search for it on eBay. I found this set for a large sum but managed to haggle down to a manageable sum.

Lol, now I have twelve more books I probably wont get around to reading for at least another decade...

Picked up an immaculate set of books from Centaur Press. Most are from their Time Lost series.
