Briar King Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Went to BAM to get the 2 Dragonlance bks I had to have thrown away in my bk purge. Also on my last trip more then a month ago I stashed a bargain bk of Safehold 6 labeled $3 under 2 more with $5.97 labels and it was still there. Clerk wrung it up from back for full HC price and when I said it was $3 he loled and changed it to $1 for me! So yeah I got a HC edition for $1.11 after tax!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattig89ch Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 So I just started the third Dragon Age book. Godam what a ride so far. If anyone is interested in the Dragon Age games (or universe as a whole), I would highly recommend these novels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Finally ordered a copy of Derek Landy's Demon Road, and tomorrow I will get my hands on The Hammer of Thor from Rick Riordan's series Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. =D 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eki Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Finally picked up Elantris. I wanted to get it a long time ago, but I could only find the non-anniversary one. Also got a pair of Discworld books and the last Ancillary book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrophenia Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Does buying an audiobook count? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soyperson Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I bought The Eye of the World a few months ago in a little cafe in the nearest town, but have never gotten around to really reading it. I'm at the part where Egwene and Perrin and Elyas have just recently left the Tinker's encampment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I received copies of Sara B Larson's books Defy and Ignite in the mail today--prizes from a Facebook contest I won. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted October 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Just ordered Safehold's 5&7 & Outlander's 5&6 from Amazon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSC01 Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Yesterday, I ordered books 2-10 of The Malazan Book of the Fallen. It costs less than $40. For those of you unfamiliar with abebooks.com, I recommend you check it out. When I was in college, I'd buy the books for my classes there. I always got old editions and had to solicit help in completing my assignments (page numbers never match up, etc.), but I'd save hundreds of dollars every semester. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelEy3 Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Just picked up Well of Ascension, Hero of Ages, Alloy of Law, Elantris, and Warbreaker. I'm fresh off my first Sanderson experience with The Stormlight Archives and I was blown away by how awesome it was. WoK was my first book after ASOIAF and I enjoyed it so much more than any one of those. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimmy Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Just bought Blue Remembered Earth by Alastair Reynolds. Really enjoyed his Revelation Space series. Has anyone read and enjoyed Blue Remembered Earth? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously could not put it down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelEy3 Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 First, it seems like a lot of people like Brent Weeks, so I grabbed The Black Prism today at B&N. On our way home we stopped at a local thrift shop to check their book section out, and man oh man did I hit the mother load!!!! 6 different Wheel of Time (all in hardcover and obviously from a single collection) books of varying order in the series, 2 Robert Jordan Conan titles, an extra copy of the first Mistborn book so I have one to give to a friend, and all 3 books from the Zahn's Thawn trilogy for just over $20! Just got home and had to come post right away. These cookies are addicting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSC01 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I used my Christmas Amazon gift card up and just got my package today: The Wall of Storms by Ken Liu, all four Seven Forges books by James A. Moore, and The Aeronaut's Windlass by Jim Butcher (I probably don't need to specify that last one's author around these parts). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well here's hoping you like it more then me. I was bored with it which is sad considering how much I loved both Alera and Dresden bk 1s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Dresden, really like Aeronaught's Windlass, hate Alera (only got halfway through book 1) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kered Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Just bought Blood Song by Anthony Ryan. Heard good things about it. Not a huge fan of Grimdark, but Brian Staveley's Unhewn Throne trilogy was good, so hopefully this series is too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was bored with it which is sad considering how much I loved both Alera and Dresden bk 1s. I've loved it so far. I imagine that I'll probably finish it tonight sometime. It's just a good adventure story, and I've been engaged throughout, despite having to pickup on how the world works as I go and there being a lot of unexplained stuff. Personally, I love the cats, even though I've seen a lot of people complain about them. I've actually never read Alera, and I only read the first Dresden book. It was several years ago, and I don't remember why, exactly, but it didn't really grab me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bk 1 is certainly the worst of the bunch and I still loved it. Many people have trouble with it's Farm Boy tropeness. Bk 2 is when it flips the switch to epic fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Re: Jim Butcher, I've read Codex Alera, Dresden Files, and Aeronaut's Windlass, and I think Aeronaut is my favorite. Although I love Harry Dresden and pretty much lol and gasp my way straight through those books, I think Codex Alera is more consistently high quality, and that Aeronaut surpasses it so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
