I got with my audible credit and added some Kindle books as well:

I'm looking forward to it very much! It'll have a lot to live up to, though, I've been told it's as good as The City and the City

[Eli]

Probably Brave Story, still on shelf thought, I've been dedicating my time to It by Stephen King and oh god do I need time to read this monster!

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

That's a long one, Elizabeth, but I think it's a really good one.

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

I 'bought' -

It was technically free as I used the hoarded points from my Sainsbury's Nectar card :) I have all the rest of the series that I have been collecting for years, so I am glad to finally have the last one :)

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

I picked up Sabriel (The Old Kingdom) for 99p on the Kindle store today :)

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

Eeeeek yes Kirsty!

I bought The Rithmatist on Kindle for £1.59 the other day.

I really liked it! A little YA, but an enjoyable read!

Love that book! :) Much preferred it to Wyndham's other classic, The Midwich Cuckoos.

@Rabindranauth: I love my versions of the Iliad and the Odyssey <3

[Mpauli, Bitten by a radioactive book]

I just got , which came out yesterday and was on my wishlist since I read the announcement 10 months ago.

It has clockwork elephants!

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

Not the last book i bought but my last preordered book to arrive is Queen of the Dark Things
Its the sequel to Dreams and Shadowswhich i read last year which was a dark fairy tale based around two boys, one kidnapped by fairies and the other partnered to a genie after a poorly thought out wish.
Its Gaimanesque and i thoroughly enjoyed the first one and looking forward to the second

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

Not books I bought but a round of preorders. Ive ordered Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz, Retribution by Mark Charon Newton, A World of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin, Prince Lestat by Anne Rice, Dragons at Crumbling Castle by Terry Pratchett and to spoil myself A Signed cloth bound limited edition of The Vanishing Witch by Karen Maitland.
Should be an interesting mix of reads

[Paul]

Sounds a great selection Paul

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

Shame I have to wait on them.I'll just have to hit a bookshop tomorrow on the bank holisay

...plus a few more. Hi, my name's Nic and I am a bookaholic.
I'm going to need a new house to put all my books in soon, luckily that's what I'm hoping to do! Househunting can be so stressful, plus it's taking time away from my reading!

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

Hope you had someone to carry your bags. That's quite the list

[Paul]

I think a trolley of some forms would have been needed Nic!!

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

Haha, nice one Nic!

[Roger, Knight Radiant]

Wow! I hope you didn't try to carry them all at once...I did that once and was out of commission for a week...

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

Ahaha I don't feel so bad now when I post huge lists of books I have bought :P

[Nic, Wormhole Technician]

It was more than one trip thankfully! But yeah, that's the highlights, there were more... Part of househunting was a trip to Ikea so now i'm excited about the prospect of a few nice Billy bookcases.

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

Nic! Wowsa at that list. Good work B-)

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

We Were Liars

It was £0.99 in the Kindle store, and I've seen so many great reviews of it on here. Plus it kind of gives me The Secret History vibe, and I absolutely LOVE that book.

oh man don't tempt me. I've got to stop buying books and read what I have already!

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

It's on sale until September ;)

[Mpauli, Bitten by a radioactive book]

Today I bought , and pre-ordered

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

Ooh the Forever Engine sounds interesting - just added to my to-read list :)

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

I preordered The Vanishing Witch by Karen Maitland a while back to get a beautiful cloth bound signed ltd edition. Well it arrived today and is a beautiful book and bonus time , I akso got sent a specisl edition novella called Liars and Thieves based on characters from Nsitlands earlier book The Company of Thieves. I loved that book so the unexpected book really made my morning ☺

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

Ooh, I have two of Karen Maitland's books at home to read :)

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

They are well worth it Rinn.Company of Liars is an amazingly good book i wouldnt hesitate to recommend to anyone. I've read The Owl Killers as well and really enjoyed it. I now have another four of her books including the Novella to read. She does the late middle ages brilliantly

[Adam]

A Prayer for Owen Meany The opening sentence is beautifully scripted!

[Christian]

The last book I bought which I have yet to read is 'The Inferior' by Peadar Ó Guilian. We were very lucky to have coffee with him. We thought we can't but not buy it. I should add it had also been recommended!

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

Watch this space, as a leaving gift I was given £25 in book vouchers - guilt free book-buying!

oooh the power! :D

In other news, a madly cackling red-headed woman was seen in London this afternoon followed by an army of books. If our sources are to be trusted, the books are reported to repeatedly scream: "Pick me, pick me!"
If you are a commuter in this area, you need to calculate in possible traffic delays due to this event.

Ahaha have you been looking at my diary Michael?! That is a scarily accurate picture as I will be travelling to London this afternoon!

(Also, my parents both deny that the cackling comes from their sides of the family :P )

I want to make it stretch, but Fool's Assassin is making siren lures at me!

Haha, no I just remembered Rinn talking about going to meet you in London a couple of times and I assumed that you live there.

Fools assassin might be worth blowing the lot

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

Paul wrote: "Fools assassin might be worth blowing the lot"

It would leave me with enough to get another book 'free' and part payment on a third, so it wouldn't be too outrageous - though I find the hike in book prices disturbing, I think we are nearing the end of the era of cheap books.

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

The paperback is out next week 2nd Septemeber (quick turnaround) so if your not fussy it might be a bit cheaper and allow you to get another book again

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

SplashGot this at a book fair where I was selling/signing my books. Looks like a good vampire novel, and her booth was fantastically done.
