Melissa Ramirez (melissaramirez) | 241 comments I didn't exactly buy them, but I recently came to own (inherited from my dad)
"Be My Guest" by Conrad Hilton

and this sappy romance book by Sherryl Woods. I know...not many guys enjoy romance books, but my dad bought it at an airport and insisted that I read it. Like really, really INSISTED that I read it because he thought it was fantastic.

So. We'll see if I ever get around to that one.

I'm planning to buy the second "Veronica Mars" novel when it releases in January 2015, and I really want to buy "Diamond Eyes" by AA Bell, 'cause it looks AMAZING (with a great cover, also) but I can't find it anywhere! :(

I'll come back around the holidays...hoping to do some book-shopping and buying after Christmas rolls around.

I just now bought Josh Turner's new biography on fatherhood and what it is to be a man accepting to him. I wish he would narrate it. His voice is like melted dark honey.

message 173: by [deleted user] (new)

I made a big purchase of several books last week and now I can't decide which one to start with. But this one is highest in the pile, and since I read the first one in the series I'm already in the zone of these characters. Hope Ignites

Marion Black | 3 comments On sale this week for $0.99 each.
The Heartland series of novellas set in outback Australia and written by Aussie writer John Holland are not connected by story line, but by setting. Each is a complete story in itself.
Not so much a triumphant march through the land of his birth this, more a grim determined slog uphill on a hot day. The people who populate these stories are often flawed and bitter. However like the hard country they live in they have beauty in them as well. Expect for a couple of characters who don’t have many redeeming features at all!
Raw powerful stories that pluck at the heartstrings and challenge the mind. Let’s look at the four leading characters from each book, shall we?
Shane Morris is suffering from depression. (Somewhere far from Iris)
Mick Creedy, a laconic outback policeman. (The Light at the Bottom of the Garden)
Dexter Knight, a tormented man with a disfigured face. (Bitter Bread)
Buck Brown, a boy facing almost certain death in the outback. (Left of the Rising Sun)
Not a collection for the faint hearted, but if you like your literary fiction raw and real you will love these stories of the hot hard places, where the bony elbows of humanity collide with the sharp edges of life.

Paul, let me know how you find it. I am a great fan of Wilbur Smith, but I didn't buy it because I know he didn't write this himself. If it is really as good at the first 2 (not the third), I'll buy it.
