[Robin (Saturndoo)]

[Valerie]

Kimberly wrote: "Nice ones Valerie! ..."

Thanks, Kimberly, Robin & Judy!! LOL I also love the cover! ;) For the Stephanie Plum - I was looking for "One for the money", which I read recently, but everything was all in the paperback trade editions, and I won't buy those. But at second glance, I saw this hardcover with the 1st 3 - so figured why not!? LOL

And... got 2 more books this afternoon, which will go to my daughter when I finish them:

I didn't buy these but I won a hardcover of The Discovery of Jeanne Baret: A Story of Science, the High Seas, and the First Woman to Circumnavigate the Globe by Glynis Ridley and an e-book copy of Tomorrows Child by Starr West

[Kat]

I've heard great things about Switched - and I love that she published independently before being picked up by a major publisher. Shows her belief in her own work that she put it out there without a publisher and was rewarded for all her hard work! Plus she's funny, I've seen some of her YouTube channel broadcasts.

Sue, very nicely done! Which edition of Tolstoy stories did you get? The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories is the one I own and I can't wait to hear your thoughts on a few of the stories, particularly Master and Man. The Summer Book is another one sitting on my shelf.

Enjoy!

Thanks Mikki :) I left a few...just not by that author lol I grabbed them all. I love the copies I got they're alll from the late 60s and early 70s and they're in great shape. I was looking at the prices on the back of the book and the original Canadian cover price was 80 cents!

[Mikki]

So, I was feeling left out of the conversation and felt the need to jump in so, of course, I had to purchase...

Foster
Autobiography of Red
Buddenbrooks: The Decline of a Family
Death in Venice and Seven Other Stories
Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, And Hope In A Mumbai Undercity


That should last me until the end of the month...

They all look good, but I'm particularly interested in the short stories by D. H. Lawrence. Maybe a buddy read?

Glad that you had such a great time.

I just looked up The Persimmon Tree and was surprised to find that the author wrote the summary--don't remember seeing that before. He sounds so sweet.

[Janice, Moderator]

After your comment, I had to go and read the summary, Mikki. I read the one on audible.com. He does sound sweet.

I have The Persimmon Tree on audio too - I started listening to it last year before I fell off the audiobook bandwagon. I love Bryce Courtenay's writing - he's one of my favourite Australian authors. The narrator, Humphrey Bower, is also one of my favourite narrators - he has an amazing range and I love listening to his voice.

I bought a new book for the first time in a long time today with a Kobo voucher - Precious and Fragile Things by Megan Hart.

LOL, Kimberly! Your couple of weeks lasted precisely 2 days. :D

But these are cheap not really worth termed as 'buying', right? ;)

Great haul though!

[Kimberly]

Exactly!

[Janice, Moderator]

You can't beat those prices, Kimberly. Mystery of the White Lions: Children of the Sun God looks very good!

I've bought a lot of books in the past couple of weeks and I don't have the time to link them all! BUT on Monday I was working in the center of Amsterdam where there is actually a Waterstones! The first time I've bought a book from a 'proper' bookshop in 2 years!

I picked up three books - The Slap, Someone Knows My Name & just so I can poke fun at Mr Kat and compare to Aussies Watching the English: The Hidden Rules of English Behaviour
