I definitely enjoyed his books, some of them are pure genius, but he has frustrated me. I know Sky have a tv adaption of his teen series coming out soon as well

[Dawn]

I love Jasper Fforde's books too but I think the Thursday Next series (Eyre Affair is #1) is by far the best. Even so, he introduced a serial killer into the story around book 5 that I don't think ever got resolved but it's been a while since I've read them.

[Fannie]

I didn't know about that serial killer Dawn, I may restart the serie again. I liked the 2 first books.

Last week-end I bought Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets because I lost my previous one and The Graveyard Book for my son. I may read it before him though.

[Dawn]

Yes, the first books were great. The serial killer was about book 5 but I read them so long ago I'm not sure. I think I need to re-read these. I used to like the postcards he did to go with the books too.

[Dawn]

Just pre-ordered this and totally admit that I just had to have it because of the title alone.

[Margo]

What a great title! I feel like pre-ordering it too and I haven't read any of the series ;-D

[Dawn]

It's on sale on Audible at the moment if you want a copy Margo. it's a total bargain!

[Roger, Knight Radiant]

Nice, I enjoy the Iron Druid Chronicles, I am trying to get caught up on The Dresden Files now and trying to stick to one urban fantasy at at a time since it gets a bit confusing reading a bunch of them at the same time, but I think that will be my next urban fantasy to get caught up on.

[Margo]

I've just finisted Storm Front and honestly can't see why it's so popular. It's noir fiction with a little magic thrown in to apeal to modern audiances. What am I missing??

I'm currently reading London Falling and listening to Rise of Empire. Both are enjoyable and they are different enough to make it easy to swop from one to the other. I've gotten myself very confused in the past trying to follow books with similar stories :-)

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

My husband and I got a good haul from the thrift store. I found Dragons of Autumn Twilight for 75 cents. Tracy Hickman is a local writer (my husband's college roommates' cousin), so I might be able to get it signed at Comic Con.

I'm curren..."

It gets a lot better, I thought the same thing at first and stopped reading after the first book. I then read over and over that you need to read at least the first four books for it to get good and I gave it another shot. I'm quite happy that I did because I really like it, it becomes a lot bigger in scope with a lot more with the White Council and the faeries.

Nice, one of the first books that got me into fantasy books.

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

Me too!

[Dawn]

Picked up Nyctophobia and Something Coming Through for £1 each at Watersones when I went to buy Cinder for the BOTM read.

It's worth checking their bargain shelf once in a while ;-)

[Cupcakes & Machetes, Hybrid Creature]

Bought Seven Forges from the daily deals.

[Alex]

went to a flea market saturday and got 6 books from Robert Asprin's Thieves world series (only already owned 2), 5 shadow run series books, Lady Slings the Booze, and Mairelon the Magician. So 13 books for $8.75, plus a dollar cookbook

Then went to one of the big bookstores today and, because I hadn't spent enough on books this week, bought a first edition signed copy of Nevernight for... more than $8.75.... starting to think I've got a problem...

also, Fannie the Graveyard Book sounds awesome!

[Fannie]

That's a good deal Alex.

My sister gave me Fool's Quest for my birthday. One more on my TRL.

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

I got a good haul this week, ALL autographed:

I got Michael Vey 6, Fall of Hades, last night at the book launch party. It's not officially released until Tuesday, so BWA HA HA HA. This is one of my top favorite series.

At Comic Con, we got Space Eldritch (anthology), The Longest Con (a comedy horror set at a con), Paranoia (the author gave me a free copy when I had the first one of the series signed), and the steampunk set The Perilous Journey of the Not So Innocuous Girl and The Perilous Journey Of The Much Too Spontaneous Girl. (The author sold me the two at a discount at the end of the con when she didn't want to haul all her books back across the country.)

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

The Scottish Prisoner by Diana Gabaldon - more Jamie Fraser <3

[Cupcakes & Machetes, Hybrid Creature]

So excited. Just picked up Curtsies & Conspiracies hardcover for $1. (Brand new from a dollar store. I love it when I find brand new treasures for that cheap!)

[Veronica]

The last book I bought was the 10th anniversary edition of American Gods, which apparently has several thousand more words (to Mr. Gaiman's satisfaction).

[Lancer, Warden of the Slums]

I just bought Enemy of God which is book #2 of Bernard Cornwell's Warlord Trilogy. Really enjoying the first book and I got it and the third at a used book sale so needed the second to full it out.

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

I preordered the 10th anniversary edition of The Final Empire <3

The Final Empire: Collector's Tenth Anniversary Limited Edition (Mistborn 1) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/147321681...

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

I'm going to the launch of the 10th anniversary edition of The Final Empire. :-)

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

Empire of Storms, Nerve and Rogues, about £10 total.

Same here -- wasn't a big fan of The Book Thief.

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

The Fireman
The Promise of the Child
Glorious Angels

I'll find time to read them all one day...all 99p on Kindle as part of Gollanz Fest - couldn't resist.

[Milou]

I went to the bookshop today to get my brother a birthday present, and found these on discount:
Cogheart
Riverkeep
yes... I got them because of the amazing covers

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

I bought The Falconer in the Gollancz ebook sale :)

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

Thanks Rinn, picked that up too. I've basically bought enough books for an entire year today...

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

Gollancz are getting all our money today. Hope Ryanair don't weigh my bag now

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

I go to the library every week with the goal of returning more than I check out. (This doesn't happen often, though.) Today an author was there, and I've had his series on my TBR list for a while, I went ahead and got the two books, signed, for $30:

Insight and True Sight

[[deleted user]]

The Complete Malazan Book of the Fallen. Saved some money with a gift card.

Ha ha ha!

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

Managed to sneak em through the airport

[Paul]

Creative use of L space?

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

More a use of the Nobby Nobbs casual walk .

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

Yay my gorgeous copy of the final empire was ready and waiting for me when I arrived home from holiday <3

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

I found another author event last night, and I'm a sucker for signed books, so I got Fires of Invention and Gears of Revolution. Steampunk plus dragons. It has to be good, right?

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

I got the novelization of the recent Suicide Squad: The Official Movie Novelization movie.

1) because I'm a comic book geek
2) it's written by Marv Wolfman who is a legendary comic writer
3) it fits for part of a challenge I'm working on.

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

Next year's reading challenge: Read all your owned, unread books.

[Paul]

Great idea Audrey, I'd just have to read much, much quicker!

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

Same here -- especially if you add in the e-books.

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

Audrey. LOL. I need the year to be about 3-4 years in length. Maybe my challenge should be to only read books I own already.

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

Exactly. The last time I tried this, I just bought more books, though.

[Margo]

I've gone to the dogs completely since e-books and audio- there isn't even the problem of physical storage !
It's my birthday early October and I usual try not to buy books between then and xmas - except book club books and really great offers of course ;-)

[Gary]

I picked up the Ebook version of The King's Justice by Katherine Kurtz. Although I prefer the original cover which follows

[Veronica]

Audrey wrote: "Exactly. The last time I tried this, I just bought more books, though."

I've tried limiting myself to not buying a book until I've read at least "x" amount of books I already own but I can't seem to manage even that.

[Fannie]

I just bought Death's End.

I am one of those who really liked the first two books and couldn't wait for that third one.
