This is the latest one in the mercedes thompson series, so as long as you have read the others you are good

Last night was an author event for Jennifer A. Nielsen at the library. It turns out she lives just a couple hours north from me. I bought and got signed The False Prince trilogy (I listened to the audiobooks I'd checked out from the library) and Mark of the Thief and Rise of the Wolf.

Luckily I brought my teenage daughter with me, so I didn't show up alone as a scary middle-aged woman at a kids' event. Nielsen said her favorite book growing up was The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, which I had read growing up after my mom read it as a kid. I was surprised because nobody has heard of this book, so it was a bonding experience.

yup, see how confusing it is :)

The last book I bought (yesterday) is Gather Her Round, the fifth Tufa novel by Alex Bledsoe. It is in queue behind two other books, so it will be a couple weeks before I get to it . . . assuming I have the self-control to not put everything else on pause and jump in. I give myself a 50/50 chance :)

I just picked up Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett at Dollar Tree for, you guessed it, $1. I'll call that a successful lunch break.

I love the Discworld books, the ones with the witches are my favourite :-) Definite bargain for a dollar!

[Cupcakes & Machetes, Hybrid Creature]

I haven't even started Joe Abercrombie's First Law series yet but I found Best Served Cold for $1 and picked it up anyway. One day, one....day....

[Lancer, Warden of the Slums]

Read them Hybrid, soooooooooo good.

I plan on it! I bought the first book to the series when I first got my kindle.....3 years ago.... D:

So many books, so little time!

I spent the day at an annual local writers event the library does. I bought Benotripia: The Complete Trilogy (mostly for the kids -- the author is 16 and first got published at age 7) and Shatter. Then I won Flight and Child of the Wilde in a drawing, and I got them all signed. I just love signed books.

[Margo]

Wow! I've never heard of anyone getting published at age 7! Is that some kind of record? That sounds like a great event Audrey.

I haven't heard of a 7-year-old getting published but Celyn Lawrence (daughter of author Mark Lawrence), at age 8, wrote Wheel-Mouse vs All The Crazy Robots. Dad helped with the drawings. (Proceeds go to Children's Hospice Charity for terminally ill and life-limited children.) Getting published at any age is quite an accomplishment but some extra kudos for these very young authors.

It was a little book, and then she wrote this trilogy in middle school and another one since. I think luck is part of it, but it's still impressive.

In the last weeks I filled my TBR pile with some nice additions.
Evil is a Matter of Perspective: An Anthology of Antagonists - In order to get acquainted with some Grimdark authors, to stockpile my bookshelf even more.
A Closed and Common Orbit
Snakewood
Rivers of London

[Maximum]

Just got my copy of Ironclads by Adrian Tchaikovsky that I preordered several months ago. A bit thinner than I thought it'd be for £17, but I'm looking forward to reading it.

[Cody]

the next book i will buy ill be Oathbinger by Brandon Sanderson in 2 days time :)

I think I said this in another thread, I am lucky that I have the week off next week so I will have time to get a large part of it read after I have finished my current book

Ditto.

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

Picked up a few from the thrift store:
The City of Ember
Little Town on the Prairie (only one of the series I didn't have)
Guards! Guards!
Wyrd Sisters

Total $5.50

[P.H.]

Exile by James Derry

[Simone]

The latest book I bought is "Anno Dracula: Dracula Cha Cha Cha" by Mr Kim Newman.



I really enjoyed the other two Anno Dracula books I have read this year and Newman's short story collection.

Hope to read that series one day - just need to get my TBR down a little before I obtain any more books!

[Veronica]

The last two books I've purchased were and (having just finished the first book in the trilogy, ).

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

I bought Fatal Green directly from the author. It’s the final book of a trilogy published by a small press that just went under.

(It was cheaper than buying from Amazon, and he spent half the cost just mailing it to us. I first mailed him the second book so he could also sign it, so now we have the whole trilogy signed.)

It’s such a good series! Paranormal horror but YA so not disturbingly twisted.

[Ghost]

I returnedThe Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and Iron Gods:(which tbh does look good, but the first book, creation machine, didn't blow me away) to waterstones and replaced it with Night of Knives.

Yes, Way of Kings. God help me.

I was tempted by Twelve Kings in Sharakhai but the font was tiny!

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

I found a pristine copy of The Thief Lord at the thrift store for $2. I hope it’s good.

[Cupcakes & Machetes, Hybrid Creature]

Found a couple of dollar store gems: Chimera (I own the first book of the trilogy but haven't read it yet) and Beyond Redemption. Each were $1.00.

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

At the library book sale I got Warm Bodies and then Remembrandt and Van Gogh Gone, both by a local author I’ve met a few times. They were 50 cents each.

The Brian McClellan/Tyler Whitesides book signing is this week, and I don’t see how I’ll be able to restrain myself from paying full retail then.

[Cupcakes & Machetes, Hybrid Creature]

Picked up The Shadow of What Was Lost & Stalking Jack the Ripper with a gift card yesterday.

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

Recent book purchases have been ones I've immediately read:
The Enchantment Emporium - good read with some amusing moments
A Skinful of Shadows - a historical fantasy (set in English Civil War period)
Adventures of a Young Naturalist: The Zoo Quest Expeditions - part of my wish to start reading some books by Sir Dave

Also in the post today (got to make that Amazon order up), got a decent second hand copy of The City Who Fought. I always forget just how much I love Anne McCaffrey's writing style

[Maximum]

I discovered a used bookshop and er...well this hapopened.

I got over 100 books for £80. The shop has a huge FSF section. I could've got more, but...next time I'll take a shopping trolley so I don't have to carry so much!

Not yet, they're still mostly covering half my dining table! I do have plans to put a bookcase on the landing in my house, but as we're still decorating after the move earlier this year, it might be a while!

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

Oh my goodness!! That is a pretty epic haul! Especially when you think that for £80 full price you might only get about 8-12 books normally.

I was in The Works yesterday and they were selling off a bit of stock, so I got a shiny new copy of Wildcards: High Stakes for £1

[Maximum]

I should take a look at The Works.

Holy moley! That's practically a library! How did you get them all home? I can't imagine even carrying those to the car, must have taken a few trips. Looks like a great selection though and should keep you going for a while. Great value too, even second hand it's getting more difficult to pick up books for less than a couple of quid each.

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

My copy of Age of War arrived. It is beautiful. I think there were some minor changes since I read it.

I treated it as a challenge, I carried them to the end of the high-street and called a cab home from there. They weren't that heavy, really, but I have been lifting weights every day for the past few weeks trying to get in shape!

The man in the bookshop was very nice, and told me that if I found any duplicates in the stack when I got home and compared it to my collection then I could come back and swap them. Lovely man. I ended up returning 3 books and coming home with 12 more!

There were several Sullivan books in the epic haul I brought home. I've never read any of his books, and I'm looking forward to starting them :)

So I've just looked at the stack and it turns out that I only have Theft of Swords, I thought I'd got more of his in the haul. To the bookshop! cue heroic sequence

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

Theft of Swords is a good place to start.

[Maximum]

Ok, cool. I'll start there then after I've finished reading this Fighting Fantasy book :)

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

If you like it, let me know and I’ll get you an invite to Sullivan’s group.

[Mike]

For the first time in a long time I went into a bookstore and did NOT buy a book. I don't know whether to be proud of myself or disappointed.

[Margo]

If I'd managed that feat of will power I would be be very proud 😇

Firstly, thanks! And secondly what group where and huh?
Still battling monsters in this FF book for now. I knew I shouldn't have picked up that tiger necklace!
