I enjoyed Me Before You. I thought A Monster Calls was just okay but it has some great reviews. Enjoy Andrea!

Squire (srboone) | 141 comments Two reference books on The Dark Tower series that go through the comics and The Wind Through the Keyhole:

While I find Vincent's reviews of King's books too pandering and uniformative, he's got some sharp insights into the DT series that hadn't occurred to me. Furth's book is really in-depth and invaluable.

Michelle Kobus (michellekobus) Bought Flamecaster (Shattered Realms #1) by Cinda Williams Chima a few hours ago. I've been looking forward to this book since I finished the Seven Realms series by her, which was years before this spin-off was even announced! ;)

I really enjoy Kristin Hannah's writing. I read Winter garden and really enjoyed it.


message 3730: by Janelle (new)

Janelle | 347 comments Janie, my Aunt opened a new package as she was giving the books and she had Winter Garden in her package. Maybe she will pass it on to me when she is finished.

Gavin (thewalkingdude) | 315 comments I'm waiting for my The Complete Works of William Shakespeare by William Shakespeare (The Complete Works of William Shakespeare) to arrive. It's nice to splurge on a beautiful book once in a while.


message 3744: by Squire (new)

Squire (srboone) | 141 comments Good for you! I sometimes think I spend too much on books, but I have friends who will buy 100+ books for their ereaders in a 6 month period; but I can't read that fast, so the same amount of money spent on one nice HC book every 6 months doesn't bother me at all.

After 30 years of that philosophy, I have a helluva library!

Squire (srboone) | 141 comments Dark Debts by Karen Hall

This is the 1996 orginal of the book I'm reading now. It was rewritten by the author for its 20th anniversary, but I think she might have neutered her book (the only one she's written) by rewriting it. So I called around to 11 used bookshops in KCMO before I found a Halfprice Books 30 minutes away that had it. I'll read this one after I finish with the 2016 rewrite and see.


message 3750: by Andrea (new)

Andrea | 233 comments I went a little bananas at our library sale. I got:
The Glass Castle, Pretty Baby, Sarah's Key, Bits & Pieces, Asunder, Infinite, The Widow, Shift, Dust, Hatchet, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, City of Glass, Suicide Squad, Vol. 1: Kicked in the Teeth, Suicide Squad, Vol. 2: Basilisk Rising, and a few others I can't seem to remember at this moment. All good condition and great prices.
