Last Book You Bought....

Alex and the Ironic Gentleman. A Thousand Splendid Suns.

I bought three from Amazon. The Hallowed Hunt by Lois McMaster Bujold, Subversive Orthodoxy by Robert Inchausti (an old prof of mine), and The Archaeological Study Bible by God.

I am super enjoying the Archaeological Study Bible (I am so tempted just to go through and read all the notes), I just started Subversive Orthodoxy but it promises to be brain-stretching, and I am forcing myself to wait on the Bujold until I finish my WIP edit.

Amazon order came last week

Fingersmith and Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters
Sandpiper by Ellen Wittinger
Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt

Amazon last night:
Alex and the Ironic Gentleman
Rebel Angels
Extras
Bitten and Smitten
Vampire Academy

Can't wait!

High Fidelity. I take back every negative thing I've ever said about first person present tense. Hornby proves that whole theory about "if done well..." Wow.

I bought Into The Wild at the same time. Barnes & Noble.

Riding the Storm, Sydney Croft
Dirty, Megan Hart
Stray, Rachel Vincent

And a couple to put away for Christmas presents...

Shakespeare, Bill Bryson.

I read it within 24 hours of buying.

Today, Amazon: The Faith Club---I'm joining a book club with our local paper!

That's Fourpence You're Eating: A Childhood in Perth, last week from a charity shop. Haven't read it yet, as I have a whole stack of library books I'm finishing.

The Ministry of Special Cases by Nathan Englander

I just started it. It's great so far.

Strunk and White: The Elements of Style
DeBoff and Krages: The Law for Writers

I thought they might come in handy if I become a writer someday.

Last new books I bought were Kull:Exile of Atlantis and The Monk.

The last new book I bought is John Robison's "Look Me In The Eye." It was highly promoted, and was even 20 percent off.

The last book was Stephen King's "On Writing" which I read a while back from the library, but I wanted a 'permanent' copy I can refer to (in case I need to get that 'alcoholic writer' thing down pat). This was at a 'Value Village' thrift store for three dollars.

I picked up The Seance by Heather Graham to take with me to my conference last week. Didn't have time to read it there, but I read it while my son was recuperating from his surgery last week. Good book.

The last book I bought, a couple of weeks ago, from a charity shop, was Titanic Voyager: Odyssey of C.H. Lightoller by Patrick Stenson. It's the true story of one of the survivors of the ill-fated ship The Titanic.

James Rollins' Black Order (fiction-adventure).

I had to; he's a friend of a friend. It was a very good read (and I'm not just saying that because he's a friend of a friend!).

Ars Magica. I don't know the author. Haven't started the book since I have at least 2 or 3 books to finish before that one.

The Man Who Broke Napoleon's Code (research)
Mine til Midnight (Kleypas)

Last Dragon by J.M. McDermott
From abebooks.

Strands of Starlight by Gael Baudino
The Book of Jhereg by Steven Brust
Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson
Empire of Ivory by Naomi Novik

Read The Book of Jhereg and Empire of Ivory already.

Stand in Groom/Time enough for Love by Suzanne Brockmann. She's one of my fav authors and this was a re-issue of some of her earlier work. I read the first one and then I took it back to the store for a refund. It was awful. What a letdown to read her earlier stuff. POV shifts practically mid sentence. Whole plot parts hinging on misunderstandings. Im so glad she has grown so much as an author.

Next up, Crossfire by Andy Mcnab, kick ass action thriller with a recurring character that I'm totally in love with. Have to order it from the UK since it wont be released here till December 25 and there's no way i can wait that long.

The Nancy Drew 75th Anniversary set -- the Applewood facsimile editions of the originals.
The Iron Whim: A Fragmented History of Typewriting by Darren Wershler-Henry.
The Shadow #4: The Murder Master and The Hydra by Maxwell Grant aka Walter Gibson
Sunset and Sawdust by Joe R. Lansdale

An Arsonist's Guide to Writers' Homes In New England, by Brock Clarke. But I still have a bunch of stuff on my TBR pile, including a few 14-day library books, so my husband snagged the new book first.
