Only two of these books are the first in their series. :(

Yeah, I know. Sorry, Eliabeth. Another member mentioned the same thing. I am being lazy and snagged GR's list for our poll. I've edited the poll so write-ins are allowed. Feel free to throw in whatever PNR/UF/DUF/SciFi-F book you'd like to suggest! :DI'll be more creative next time
I went for Heartless, purely cause Timeless comes out in March and I wouldn't mind a reread :)
That's a good one, Eliabeth. I like that series. I've removed the duplicate write-in and added the author's name. Thanks for making the suggestion!
And it's tied for first! I know I should be a little more open to reading books out of order since I was introduced to Simon R. Green when I couldn't pass over a book titled "The Good, The Bad, and the Uncanny," never mind that it was the 10th in the series. I really hope to have the first one picked as a group read! :D
Oh, good one Eliabeth, I've got that one on the tbr :)
I'm pretty sure my vote won't even come close to winning, but I had to vote for it since it has been sitting on my bookshelf since the Borders sale.
LOL! Everyone will be working off those Borders pounds gained in 2011. ;)
Man, I wish we had a Borders near us. :( We only had B&N and while I have some clearance books from them, nothing compared to a going out of business sale.
Actually, I got
at my local Borders going out of business sale, though not at quite the good prices you ladies enjoyed in the States :(
Judithe and I really wish those bookstores were here in Japan. Thank goodness for online shopping!
Yeah but you guys have... oh what's that one store. I practically had to ship books home I got so many at 100 yen.
I had to switch Simon Green, cause I ain't reading Discovery of Witches, too long & I haven't a hope in hell of getting it in time either.

I noticed that one was a chubby chunkster.

If you're in Tokyo and you stop at the Ookubo stop on the Keisi line, walk away from the tracks, it's right there.
Might be a few stores down, across the street from this awesome dress shop, but if you pass a ballroom dance costume store you've gone too far.

*like*
Cool! We hope to get back there eventually. I'll try to remember to look for it. Thanks!

That's the used bookstore, right? I haven't been there, but have heard about it. I sometimes envy for ex-pats in Tokyo...just for their bookstores (and previously, Starbuck's, with their lovely coffee beans...but now, one year after the first one opened in my prefecture, a second one has opened...soon the landscape will be littered with them ~ugh-off track again!)
Elizabeth...would that be the Blue Parrot?
Just googled it...think that's not the one she's talking about...but I love the name!
Finally decided...a re-read to get me in the mood for
even though it's not the same cast...
