I have all of you UK mods to thank for that addition. I kept seeing it pop up in your feeds that you liked it so I decided to give it a try. (Regardless of the ridiculous US title. :P )

Thank you Margo and Wayland!

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

Hope you enjoy it. Its a decent series.

[Jessica]

I just realised you called me a UK mod a few posts back Hybrid . Oh no. Wrong country :-p.
When are you hoping to close the sale

[Lancer, Warden of the Slums]

In a bid to give my ereader some love after a very long abcense from using it (sparked by the other thread discussing them) I purchased Bitter Seeds by Ian Tregellis through my kobo. It is never at my local book store and I saved a bunch of money this way. So far I've read the first few chapters and really enjoy it. His Alchemy Wars series has been great thought two books as well.

Sorry Paul! lol. May 17th is the closing date if all goes as planned.

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

Best of luck :-)

[Cupcakes & Machetes, Hybrid Creature]

Tales of the Ketty Jay is such a fun series.

It is. I need to finish the series, but the books were kind of expensive last I looked.

I keep them on my wish list waiting for them to go down so I can continue the series, but they never budge on price.

At the conference I was at this past weekend, I got Scattered, Smothered and Chunked - Bubba the Monster Hunter Season 1 which is pretty much what it sounds like.

While Bubba is a good ol' boy, he avoids a lot of negative parts of that stereotype. His best friend/dispatcher, who Bubba compares to Oracle from the comics at one point, is a gay man and Bubba's best friend. There's a lot of puns, interesting spins on fighting monsters in the modern day, and odd jokes. Can't really call it urban fantasy, as Bubba is not an urban critter.

[Whitney]

I purchased:
A Court of Wings and Ruin
Paper Princess
Broken Prince
Twisted Palace
You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

Bought Assassin's Fate last night as Robin Hobb was doing a signing and talk! I'm not one for spontaneous trips/events, but I booked my tickets that afternoon and then panicked over whether I'd get there in time. It was a brilliant evening and the illustrator Jackie Morris was also there to sign too. I met some lovely people and had a fab time chatting to fellow fans :)

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

Neat! I get all excited for signings.

[Gary]

Picked up an Ebook special of all 4 of Annie Bellet's The Gryphonpike Chronicles in one Ebook Omnibus for 99 cents for my Nook.

[Maximum]

I went into a local charity shop and struck GOLD! About £2.50 for the lot I think!

Thanks! I think I'll be popping back into that shop every now and then!

Last weekend I dropped by ABC in Amsterdam and left with A Crucible of Souls and Zero World, which were on sale there.

[Sean]

I forget all of the books I bought last night but I went on Kindle and browsed the Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre and sorted by price. Got a crap ton for free. Most were lesser known and book 1's but hey, never know when you might find a new gem. And did I mention all free lol?

I did buy all 3 of the The Paper Magician series for $2 each. Not a bad deal at all.

[Jessica]

Zero World is great Mike! Loved that book

[Mike]

Good to hear! I didn't knew of it beforehand, but the back story and positive blurb of Felicia Day convinced me, besides being on sale because I'm still Dutch.

[Gary]

Bought the first 3 books in the Greatcoats series on my Nook for $1.99 each.

[Veronica]

I just picked up Dune (because I've never actually read it despite seeing the movie and the mini-series) and The Price of the Stars at the used bookstore.

[Lancer, Warden of the Slums]

My regular bookstore finally got copies of Sharp Ends by Joe Abercrombie.

It is a collection of short stories from the First Law series.

Super.


Excited.

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

I got Astrophysics for People in a Hurry since it's an area that's always interested me and I don't mind giving money to Neil deGrasse Tyson.

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

I got the Pines (The Wayward Pines Trilogy, Book 1): A Novel By Blake Crouch Official Summary and Analysis - BookMarked(Pines Chapter By Chapter Summary, Pines (The Wayward Pines Trilogy Book1), Blake Crouch and the Traitor's Blade trilogy on a Kindle sale. Then I got The House on Durrow Street because I already had books one and three of that series but not the second.

[Cupcakes & Machetes, Hybrid Creature]

I found Masques and Wolfsbane at a used book shop for $0.50 each.

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

And I got the Paper Magicians trilogy. It's a local author, so I've met her a couple times.

[Maximum]

Ooo, I wishlisted that. Let me know how it works out for you?

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

If you like science books, check out Theodore Gray's books on Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe and Molecules: The Elements and the Architecture of Everything. Not only interesting with cool visuals but very funny.

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

There was a big book fair event at the library, so I bought some books from local authors. Most looked very happy.

Fall of the Dragon Prince
Pitch Green
The Finger Trap
Eleanor
Dreamless
Beast Charming
Fractured Earth

[Gary]

The last book I bought was Bane and Shadow by Jon Skovron, the second book in his Empire of Storms series, when it came out in February. It keeps being pushed down in my to read pile, but I plan to read it in June.

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

Aftermath: Empire's End another Star Wars book. I do like those.

[Fannie]

I realized that I had money left on a kobo gift card so I bought:
Revelation Space

[Vinca]

I picked up the Avry of Kazan trilogy by Maria V Snyder on Kindle a couple of days ago. I've enjoyed all the Snyder books so far, but never got hold of copies of this trilogy.
Touch of Power
Scent of Magic
Taste of Darkness

I also got the two missing volumes in my collection of the Shadowmarch quartet by Tad Williams. I'd been putting off starting it until I had all four books ready to go :-D It's been a long time since I've got stuck into a Williams series!
Shadowmarch
Shadowplay
Shadowrise
Shadowheart

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

I have that trilogy of Snyder's. Some concepts seem similar to previous books, and I think I liked the Study series a little better, but it's still good.

[Lancer, Warden of the Slums]

Just bought kings of the Wyld.

[Vinca]

sir Lancer wrote: "Just bought kings of the Wyld."

I picked that up recently too, I've heard nothing but good reports about it. Hoping it'll end up as book of the month for July :-)

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

Most of the nominations are for books I've been wanting to read. Voting will be hard.
