The best kind of shopping there is.
I just got done exercising a bunch of gift certificates I had for Barnes and Noble. Jen and I went to lunch together at the mall today, and afterwards spent a nice twenty minutes browsing around the book store. I didn't buy anything then, but the book buying bug did bite me, so this evening I got on-line and placed a very satisfying order. Two weeks from Saturday ends my (mostly) self-imposed book reading hiatus, and oh my goodness do I have a selection to choose from!
Which is where you guys come in. Here are the books I just ordered, and the books I have waiting for me on my dresser. Give me your recommendations on what to read first! Or, if you know of a great book that's not on the list, send me the title. It's not as if I'm going to stop buying books any time soon.
(As an aside, on the whole I have found Amazon's prices to be quite a bit better than B&N's, even with B&N's "membership discounts". Amazon doesn't require a membership, and in every instance of the books I just ordered the copies from Amazon were dollars cheaper. But! I had the gift certificates from B&N, so it's to B&N I went.)
(As another aside, I was going to hyperlink the titles of the books, but then I realized I don't feel like it.)
The Dream Hunter - Sherrilyn Kenyon
Dead Witch Walking - Kim Harrison
Moon Called - Patricia Briggs
And Only to Deceive (A Novel of Suspense) - Tasha Alexander
The Illuminatus! Trilogy - Robert Shea, Robert Anton Wilson
Last Voyage of the Valentina - Santa Montefiore
The Hallowed Hunt - Lois McMaster Bujold
The Outstretched Shadow - Mercedes Lackey, James Mallory
The Rest Falls Away - Colleen Gleason
Good Omens - Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman
The Eyre Affair - Jasper Fforde
Love at First Bite - Compilation with Sherrilyn Kenyon
A Walk in the Woods - Bill Bryson
Prague - Arthur Phillips
City of Shadows - Ariana Franklin
Jen's gonna be mad at me - there's like, three books on that list that were gifts from her, and I haven't read them yet. I will! I promise!!!
