Just bought California today on Amazon. Don't know anything about it, but it was one of the featured Kindle books and I remembered it being a nominee on the Goodreads best of 2014 in the Sci Fi category, so I'm hoping for the best.

That sounds interesting. Let us know what you thought of it when you're done.

Not sure if I'll get around to reading it any time soon, but I will definitely let you know.

Yes and no. It's a play on superman. I get what the author is doing kinda. Think of it as a "Elseworld" novel.

Well my copy of Firefight by Brandon Sanderson arrived today. I got the US edition as it actually worked out cheaper to get to Ireland and it's a nicer cover and my copy of Steelheart is also a US edition.
I also bought a signed copy of Scott Lynch Republic of Thieves as it was too much of a bargain to pass up

[Tokio]

Bought black prism and receiving firefight in the mail. Exciting

[Whitney]

for xmas I got the edition of love to press the button I don't have anywhere to display it right now so its still in the box.
And just got the audio of Redshirts

[ladymurmur]

Just picked up Tales from the Nightside. Very excited to travel back to a world/series that I thought was done for good. :-)

[Bry]

The last book I personally bought was Darth Plagueis from this really cool local bookstore near a restraunt I was waiting to be seated at. I love it so much and I'm very close to finishing it!
Also, my friend bought me Clockwork Angel for Christmas, but I haven't started that one yet.

[Abrea]

I'm such a music nerd. I picked up a first edition of A History of Western Music and I'm super excited. We were on the seventh edition by the time I got to college and there has been a lot of development in musicology since the first edition. I can't wait to dive in to this and see what changed and what stayed the same in the views of music history.

Picked up the free Some of the Best from Tor.com: 2014: A Tor.Com Original on Amazon for free!

RINNRINNRINN!!! They had hardback AND paperback copies! Are you back in the Netherlands? If not, get down to Poundland or send someone to get it! I would but I am not sure when I am next going to the shops otherwise I'll get you a copy :)

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

I am! :( If you do happen to go there, would you be able to grab me a pback please?

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

I picked up The Complete Maus and The Necromancer with xmas/birthday money :)

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

[Joey]

Very nice!

Oh, is on sale for 1.99 at Amazon. Nabbed a copy.

[David Coulson]

Just bought The Warded Man and Assassin's Apprentice, both on sale for Kindle right now. Both books I've heard a lot about, hopefully I get a chance to dig into them soon.

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

Spent the afternoon in Waterstones cafe and this time didn't resist the drink, cake and book offer. Station Eleven has been purchased.

I'm still not sure this book will be my cup of tea but I'm gunna give it a bash once I'm done with Firefight.

[Whitney]

Not going to be buying a lot of books because I wont to get my book shelves cleared off so I have to read read read the books on them. Library items I have gotten are :The Martian audio,Curtsies & Conspiracies,The Sparrow and The Snow Queen.

They do offers?! :O

I bought Station Eleven and The Earl and The Fairy, Vol. 02 :)

[Abrea]

I bought Water for Elephants at a used bookstore. This is the problem with buying another bookshelf - it tends to fill up very, VERY quickly. :P

My local Waterstones has a café which does a hot drink, cake and fiction book of the month for £10 :D

This month it just so happens it's Station Eleven! :)

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

I just got myself Words of Radiance audiobook companion from Amazon - I have the kindle book which I'm 70% through, but I've not found the time to sit down and finish the rest. This allows me to Whispersync so I can do what I want (listen or read) when I feel like it!

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

I didn't buy it, but I received a copy of Firefight by Brandon Sanderson in the post from Gollancz today - what perfect timing :D

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

That's great Rinn!! Just finished - loved it!

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

I got Red Seas Under Red Skies in the post as well as The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe which I'm reading as part of a classics reads challenge.
Nice timing on Firefight. I was going to start it myself but I'll the Name of the Wind buddy read first.

[Paul]

Lucky you Rinn

[Cupcakes & Machetes, Hybrid Creature]

I just bought for $1.99 on Kindle. :)

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

Abrea, I've given up, they are piled up on the floor until I can get a bigger place or somewhere with more bookcases!

Kirsty, that's awesome! I know that some Waterstones have cafés but I don't think I've ever used one (don't think there's one with café here either) and I didn't know there was a book, bake and brew deal :) Next time!

Rinn, that is brilliant! I haven't started that series yet :)

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

It's normally a Costa attached to Waterstones, right? I've spent many a time in the one in Cheltenham with my new book purchases...

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

Our one used to be a costa - but now it's "Waterstones cafe" - you can still collect your points and stamps if you spend enough, plus a drink stamp card!

[David Coulson]

Picked up Authority and Acceptance which are books two and three of the Southern Reach trilogy. The trilogy is on sale today for Kindle and I got the first one for Christmas, so I figured I'd check them out.

[Cupcakes & Machetes, Hybrid Creature]

The other day I picked up Malice.

[Rachel]

I grabbed up The Dark Legacy of Shannara trilogy while I was perusing Barnes and Noble last week. (Took me forever to find unscathed copies too! They don't take care of their books at that store! Dx) Can't wait to just jump into this newest series. I expect my husband won't be seeing me for a couple days while I read it. xD

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

Went on a small book spree today and bought The Wise Mans Fear by Rothfuss and The Three Stugmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K Dick. 8 euro all together so happy with that ☺

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

Wow, nice deal :D

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

I could have gotten so much more but restrained myself

[Kevin]

You always get the best bargains, Paul :(

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

Wise Mans Fear was second hand but looks new. Philip K Dick was new and on special but it was the only one I didn't have in the special.

[Kevin]

Will you be reading WMF sooner rather than later or take a break from the epic fantasy?

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

I don't know . I've read two big Epic fantasys in the last few weeks so I might leave it a little while . I think my next book up will be Over To You by Roald Dahl. Its the first book he published (1946) and is a series of flying war stories . I found a first edition a few years back and i've finally decided to read it ( possibly with gloves ☺)

[Paul]

Or intending to go back at some point Paul?

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

Probable ☺

[Paul]

I take that as definitely :-)

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

I got a copy of Steelheart which looks like it may have only been read once, and Leviathan Wakes, both from a charity shop. Trying to catch up eventually with all the previous BotMs I haven't read yet :)

[Leigh]

The Thief was on sale for kindle yesterday! Of course, I have a dozen other books I should read before I get to it.....

[Paul]

Managed to get a copy of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August for £1.50

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

I just bought Lord Brocktree and Martin the Warrior(buy one get one half price) in an ebay shop. Returning to childhood! £4 for the both.

[Abrea]

I bought Deviltry. Now, to wait for it to arrive in the mail. :)
