YAYYY!

So today I picked up at Target: Tower of Dawn (Throne of Glass, #6) by Sarah J. Maas Wonder Woman Warbringer (DC Icons, #1) by Leigh Bardugo

Wonder Woman is SIGNED!!

And then I picked up a used bargain book from my local used bookstore: Malory The Knight Who Became King Arthur's Chronicler by Christina Hardyment


Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments So, I haven't bought Tower of Dawn (Throne of Glass, #6) by Sarah J. Maas yet but I know I will sooner rather than later! I have birthday book money to spend! I so need to read Heir of Fire and Queen of Shadows so I can read Tower of Dawn!

Wow Jenny! That's incredible that you got a signed copy of Wonder Woman! Now I'm jealous! 😜

So, it took me awhile to realize that Tower of Dawn was a continuation of the series. I thought it was a new series because the cover is so different. ;)


message 8458: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
I think the cover's different because its from Chaol's perspective. So this one is taking place the same time as Empire of Storms, its just happens to Chaol on his journey that Aelin sent him on. I'm really interested to see what this one is like, since its a lot of new characters I think.

And yes, I was so surprised to see a signed copy there! SQUEE!!!! Made my day :)

Scott Fitzgerald A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic, #1) by V.E. Schwab The Water Knife by Paolo Bacigalupi A Closed and Common Orbit (Wayfarers, #2) by Becky Chambers Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson

And then on Kindle I got The Practice Effect by David Brin and To Ride Pegasus (The Talents Saga) by Anne McCaffrey
