message 4315: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Kobus (michellekobus) Today I bought books 1 and 2 of the Society of Steam series (The Falling Machine and Hearts of Smoke and Steam), and Truthwitch. I don't know anything about the Society of Steam series, but I've been wanting to read more steampunk and I got both books for $11. I bought Truthwitch because Becca from Becca and the Books (YouTube) did a reading vlog of the series and I got interested. Don't know when exactly I'll start them, though lol.

Had a good book buying day on Tuesday. Went to an actual 'library store' and got several books, went to our used book store and then ended our day with Barnes and Noble. I ended up with about 24 books. I got about 16 of those for $12. So I did really good. I was most excited about getting a hard cover copy of Cell and Desperation by Stephen King. They were only $8 a piece and in pretty good shape.


Jannelies (living between hope and fear) | 121 comments My study is already too full of books so I hardly buy any printed books anymore, let alone hardcovers.
I've made an exception today for The Furies by John Connolly because he is one of a small group of authors I want to have all books in print of.
The Furies (Charlie Parker #20) by John Connolly
Funny enough the hardcover edition was cheaper than the paperback!

Janie Johnson | 6303 comments Mod
Glad you got the hardcover for less, that is really awesome, especially for a new release. I know when we go to our Used book store the adult hard covers are way cheaper than the YA soft backs, that is nice too because I tend to buy more adult books than YA.


message 4320: by Corey (new)

Corey | 1411 comments Starting Run Away by Harlan Coben tonight, absolutely loved IT, I can see why many consider it one of Stephen King's best!

Jannelies (living between hope and fear) | 121 comments I bought Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon
Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone (Outlander, #9) by Diana Gabaldon

I've seen mixed reviews but still, I want to have it. And read it, of course, over the holidays. It's 900 pages so it will keep me busy for a good few days.

Yes, well, I like cozy mysteries but I like hardboiled thrillers and crimes just a little more... So I try and not to buy more cozy mysteries because I'm having trouble finding time to read these days.

I bought The Dead of Winter by Stuart McBride just now!
The Dead of Winter by Stuart MacBride

Stuart McBride is one of the authors I want all books of in print. And so is Jo Nesbo, so I pre-ordered Killing Moon
Killing Moon (Harry Hole #13) by Jo Nesbø which will be published in May.

Nice Haul Jannelies


Jannelies (living between hope and fear) | 121 comments Janie wrote: "Nice Haul Jannelies"

Thank you Janie. Sadly, The Year of the Locust was disappointing 😕 in places. I'm reading City of Lost Chances now and it's great! I just missed the sequel to this one on Netgalley though so now I'll have to wait till the paperback comes available.

Well at least you are enjoying your current read. I have been reading Christmas books. Most have been above average. So that is good.


Jannelies (living between hope and fear) | 121 comments I bought myself a printed copy of The End of the World Running Club
The End of the World Running Club (The End of the World Running Club, #1) by Adrian J. Walker

I reviewed the book in 2017 and I kept thinking of it. A good sign 😉. I will re-read it in the near future.


Jannelies (living between hope and fear) | 121 comments Last year I ordered Killing Moon by Jo Nesbo
Killing Moon Free Ebook Sampler by Jo Nesbø
