The book I bought today is

[Briar King]

Ok on Malazan Empire Forums we have this thread and it quite a busy one at that. If your a bookaholic here's the place to list your buys. We get a lot of great recos from each other doing this.

On a side note I did NOT buy anything today.

[bartbug he/him]

I spent an audible credit on Endymion. Loved the first two in the Cantos, and this one is turning out great as well.

[+Quitecontrary she/her]

Bought two Tom Sharpe books today - Wilt and The Great Pursuit - and a book called The Dictionary of Sarcasm.

Tom Sharpe is always great fun to read when I need a laugh.

And I was drawn to the dictionary. Since English is not my first language, I'm sometimes oblivious to sarcastic comments directed to me, so I guess I need a guide. :-P

[Quiver he/him]

The Shadow Rising.

Dunno when I'll get around to reading it...but I have it.

[Cromptj he/him]

I finally got the Lies of Locke Lamora.

Also, anyone wanting to read the Wheel of Time needs to buy Loncon membership.

[Briar King]

Hell yes I got my copy of Warmasters Gate in the mail today.

[Ryan he/him]

The Crimson Campaign (Brian McLellan)

Ruins (Dan Wells)

Raising Steam (Terry Pratchett)

Becalmed (Kristine Kathryn Rusch)

 

I like books.

[Gabriele she/her]

Crimson Campaign here, too.

Harry Sidebottom, Iron and Rust

Janny Wurts, Mistwraith - the first three books.

[Two McMillion he/him]

I bought The Blade Itself yesterday for $2.99 on kindle. If it's still at that price it's an excellent deal.

[Quiver he/him]

Temple of the Winds.

Hiddenone???

[Delightful]

 

Harry Sidebottom, Iron and Rust

Janny Wurts, Mistwraith - the first three books.

And of course these have nothing to do with Mistborn, right?

[mshimmyb1]

...still at the bookstore.

[LSU Tiger he/him]

Malice, John Gwynne

[Virtual Mayhem he/him]

The Martian by Andy Weir.

 

Hell of a hard SciFi book.  One of my favorites in the genre.  its fantastically well written and didn't drag on.  I devoured it the day I bought it!

[Briar King]

Skin Game!! Hell yes!

[Gabriele she/her]

And of course these have nothing to do with Mistborn, right?

 

 Lol, no. Iron and Rust is historical fiction about Maximinus Thrax, first of the so-called soldier emperors, and the Mistwraith books are really called something about Light and Shadow, an ongoing series that's supposed to be 12 books or so (with 9  books out); Curse of the Mistwraith is the first of the series.

 

Though it would be fun to imagine how Roman history would have gone with some people being able to do metal magic.

[Briar King]

I bought Masters of Rome bk 1&2 and Peter Hamiltons Pandoras Star. I'm excited to read them all but I must wait till I finish rereading Alera 5&6.

[Briar King]

Just ordered the rest of Hamilton's Commonwealth minus the new one that releases later this yr and Dan Simmons Hyperion.

[Theorymaker he/him]

Seeds of Earth by Michael Cobley.

[Briar King]

For a book message board there is a serious lack of book buying going on here lol. It's been almost 2 mths since the last reply.

[Rotting Zombie]

The Bighead by Edward Lee

[Gabriele she/her]

Let's see: The Widow's House, Assail, The Broken Eye, The Portrait of a Lady, The Lost Tales 1 and 2 .... and that was only like the last ten days or so, and only the fiction part.

It's probably my fault. Topics tend to go inactive after I post in them.

[Silus - Shard of Flame he/him]

Only ten days this time, Theorymaker!

 

Oh, gosh, I love books.  I'm building up my personal library so I'll still have books by the time I move out of my parents' house.  I've bought many more books in the last month than I've read.

 

The Remembering by Steve Cash, great historical fiction with some great supernatural/magic elements to it.  Third in the trilogy; the first was my absolute favorite book before I discovered Brandon Sanderson (and remains the book I've reread the most times).

 

The first five books of Animorphs by K. A. Applegate.  One of my favorites as a kid and remains one of my favorite series.  I'm starting to collect them from the beginning.  I had a couple already and my dad is helping me out by picking up random titles he finds at the thrift store (cuz they're usually super cheap).

 

Schlock Mercenary #1: The Tub of Happiness.  I've already got 5 and 6 (one for being in the right place at the right time, literally, and one for helping Howard out with one of his book releases a couple of years ago) but this is the first I've ever actually paid for.  I loved the bonus story for this one and this issue in particular is great for showing off how far Howard's art has come over the course of his career.

 

With more to come!
