Cryptonomicon is good

[Tejas Janet]

I went ahead and purchased e-copy of Theft of Swords so I could get started with book two in the Riyria Revelations. There was a waiting list at the library, and I felt like splurging a little to buy this : )

Also recently purchased Stumbling Toward the Buddha: Stories about Tripping over My Principles on the Road to Transformation, which I finished today. I read it as bedtime reading spread out over many weeks. Found it comforting.

[Peggy]

I just ordered The Crown Tower and The Rose and the Thorn. Yay! More Hadrian and Royce!

[Pragya]

For review, I received Paper Towns, The Sleeper and the Spindle, The Mother I Never Knew: Two Novellas, Lajja and A Mirrored Life.

[Cherie]

I just bought Captain's Peril for my Nook so that I can have a Star Trek book on my next Series Level. I have the next two in the trilogy, but I could not locate a printed copy that I wanted to pay for. His writing better be worth it. I got the other two at a library sale.

I got Audible's daily deal today for $5.95 - The Good House. It's been on my wishlist and audible wishlist for a while.

I was just thinking about picking this up today too. I can't decide!

[Janice, Moderator]

I ended up getting a whispersync deal as well: The Bird Eater was $2.49 kindle & 1.99 audible..

I love those deals. Sometimes it is less expensive to buy the kindle and the audio together than it is to just purchase the audio. I was just looking at that for The Chronos Files series (for my series challenge). I can get books #1.5 & 2 on both Kindle and Audible for a total of $11, which is almost the cost of the audio of #1.5 alone.

Woohoo Peggy! You can never have enough of that duo! :D

That book wasn't for me. Hope you like it better, Janice.

Oh yes, Samantha, Samantha, where are you?"

Indeed!!

[Lisa]

Awesome haul Pragya! I may just be a little bit jealous ;)

[Sandra, Moderator]

You have so many good books there, Pragya! Enjoy!

[Pragya]

He he, Peggy.

Thank you so much, Lisa and Sandra. :D

[Mariab]

Samantha is not needed. Pragta just did her work... ;-)

[Pragya]

Hahaha, Mariab. Too funny. But I guess I did. :p

[Mariab]

Book fairs calls for action like that... So many books together! And who knows when we will see something alike again!! (Grab-reflex activated!)

[Pragya]

Exactly! In fact, I am regretting not picking up some of the books. :(

[Tasha]

Great haul, Pragya! wow!

[Pragya]

Thank you, Tasha. :)

Pragya was channelling Samantha! Still, we miss Samantha.

[Janice, Moderator]

Pragya, the buddy read for The House at Riverton starts March 1st. :)

All you spent was $20??

[Lynda]

Just got the complete Anne of Green Gables collection for my Nook for only $3.99. As my library didn't have the full series in e-reader form, this made me very happy.

[Mariab]

@Lynda. The whole series can be found in Gutemberg project, as e-books in all formats

[Tejas Janet]

Score!! Your bookcase will look great with these new additions gracing their shelves : )

Thanks for the link...of course I already bought it, but not having paid too much for 9 books, I'm not too concerned. However, I've bookmarked that site and plan on exploring it.

[Mariab]

Glad to help! (I had no teasing intentions)

[Kristie, Moderator]

Wow, Pragya! 30 books for $20! Nice job. :)

I see some of my favourites in your book haul! Awesome.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

You could build a bookshelf with those Pragya!

Some good picks there. Matches a lot of the ones sitting on my shelf to be read ;)

[Cherie]

Many of Pragya's books are waiting on my shelves needing to be read too, but that didn't keep me from picking up a few more tonight. Coffee and a chocolate crossiant prompted me to drive over to Barnes and Noble after my laundry was done. My bag full of books contains
Eleanor & Park
My Way
Foul Deeds Will Rise
The One and Only Ivan
Into the Wild
and Night of the Twisters, the last three from the young readers section. I don't see why I should miss out on what they are reading just because I am slightly out of their recommended reading age group.

No worries...and FYI, went on and downloaded all of the Sherlock Holmes books!

YAY!

I just bought Patient Zero after all the chat we had in our team about this author and zombies during the toppler. And another book to add to my series challenge.

[Pragya]

Thank you, Janice, Yup, $20. They are all second hands but most are in pristine condition. :) I know. I was astounded when I got back home and saw the buddy read. I said 'Perfect'!

Thank you, TJ, Kristie and Kimberly.

Umm, well, Rusalka, I think I might need that. My bookshelf is full even without those in it. Lol.

Cherie, I have been wanting to read Eleanor & Park for so long. Look forward to your review.

I had no idea until the second book this whole series wasn't about zombies but rather just unique forms of terrorism

[Sarah]

I'm intrigued even more Travis!

[Mariab]

After a (long) while not buying physical books (only e-books) I received yesterday my copy of The Ancient Economy. Very Excited!

[Cherie]

I bought three new books from B & N for the March Challenge. , and

[Janice, Moderator]

I picked up a couple of freebies from iBooks: The Last Quarrel: Episode 1 and Rise of the Dragons. Free series books! Woot! Woot! Like I need new series to start.
