For my Audible Credit I went for Words of Radiance (48 hours of playtime!) and on my Kindle I added Arcanum, The Barrow and Traitor's Blade

The Raven Boys, Fevre Dream & Tuf Voyaging.

Already read the first two, but loved them. And it was 3 for £5 at the Works so... I kind of had to.

Last two books I bought were Words of Radiance and Night Broken.

Words of Radiance is a beast and going to take quite some time to get through it. I got Night Broken yesterday and have already finished it off, helps to be recovering from surgery and not be able to move much...

Man I don't think I've updated this since I got Words of Radiance ! It fills me with happiness to be around other Sanderson fans!

I also got Moranthology - slightly different genre haha, but loved How to Be a Woman!

Oh I want to read Moranthology! I loved How To Be A Woman - so hilarious =)

When I worked at the Cheltenham Literature Festival in 2012, I sadly missed Caitlin Moran. However, one of my colleagues has a photo of Caitlin WRESTLING her to the ground, with this terrifying expression on her face! Apparently she did the same to Kate's brother (I don't know the exact reason why) the year before, and they decided to carry on the 'family tradition'...

She's amazing - I think I'm probably a little bit in love with her - and I'm pretty sure she's taught me that that's ok...

Hilarious about being wrestled - I WANT TO BE WRESTLED BY CAITLIN MORAN.

I bought a collection of the first five books of the John Carter, Mars series this weekend on clearance for $7.98.

Though while looking around for the edition I got I found out you can by the first 5 books for the kindle for 99 cents.

I bought The Copper Promise on Audible and added Sunstone and Age of Shiva to my Kindle.


message 171: by Trillian (new)

Trillian Even though I swore that I wouldn't read too many YA books this year, I just couldn't resist and bought Cinder and The Knife of Never Letting Go. Just because of Rinn's definitive sf read list ;-)


message 172: by Mpauli, Bitten by a radioactive book (new)

And I couldn't resist the release of Unwrapped Sky. Really looking forward to this one.

Paul (halfmanhalfbook) | 441 comments Took 17 books into a book recycling shop today.. Hadn't intended on buying any, but bought Stranger in a Strange Land. Could have had so many more...

Freya (flamecat) | 1835 comments Mod
Yes Rinn! use it! Is it one use only? :)


message 178: by Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy (new)

Rinn (rinnsohma) | 3456 comments Mod
Well, exchanging 17 for 1 is progress! ;) I seriously can't clear out any more. There are some I know I'll get rid of when I've read them but... I need to actually read them first >.>

Adam (amilesb) | 35 comments I just got The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn I've read the abridged version but thought it would be good to revisit an oldtime classic with new reading eyes :)

Does the book go along with the game?

Rinn (rinnsohma) | 3456 comments Mod
It's a huuuuuuge history of Thedas, it has so many pretty pictures and things. History, culture, languages, races, magic, countries and so many pretty art pages <3

So yes, it fits in with the game series =P As a companion book, not a story. I have a couple of the novels (one left to read) and I'm currently reading the graphic novel collection.

You just have to look into the eyes of the Princess-Consort of Ferelden to see her excitement. Have fun! :)

That's pretty cool, I enjoyed that game, I played the first one but not the second. Hard to play rated M games with a five year old running around...

Ahaha that's brilliant Rinn :D and no you are not a psycho - I have made similar faces over books :D

Speaking of which... the past couple of weeks many books have been bought. I'm too embarrassed at my lack of will power to say what I have though! :S :D

Paul (halfmanhalfbook) | 441 comments I have had days like that, wasn't going to buy a book at all. Bought twelve...

How much was the new bookshelf to fit them on?

Phew! Well I am glad I am not the only one then! :D

Thanks! :) Well I haven't bought any more bookcases, but the ones which were mostly empty when I moved here 7 months ago are now full and groaning...

I do that all the time. I think I bought like 700 digital books over the last 3 1/2 years, so you're totally save with your 12 books.^^

I bought:

The Pox Party "The Astonishing life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the nation".
This caught my attention simply because of the name Octavian. hehe.

Also got Raksha - which is now called "Halo" free on both Kindle and iBooks. Apparently for fans of Divergent and The Hunger Games. Neither of which I've read, but both of which I have. Can't turn up a bargain!
