Book post

*drowns in books*  Not that this is a bad thing, mind you, but I'm a little stunned at the amount that I've gotten lately.  And with the exception of, three, I believe all of them have been from PaperBackSwap which amuses me a great deal.  So what I've gotten lately:

-The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson
-The Return of Merlin by Deepak Chopra
-The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde
-The Lamplighter by Anthony O'Neill
-The Glasswrights Apprentice by Mindy L. Klasky
-Perfume by Patrick Suskind
-The Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner
-Deja Dead by Kathy Reichs
-The Strange Files of Freemont Jones by Dianne Day
-Whiskey and Water by Elizabeth Bear (bookstore)
-The Somnambulist by Jonathan Barnes (bookstore)
-Dhampir by Barb & J.C. Hendee
-I am Legend by Richard Matheson
-Daemons, Inc. by Camille Bacon-Smith (tee hee, Bacon)
-The Awakening by L.L. Foster
-One More Bite by Jennifer Rardin (bookstore and currently reading)

This list is not including the books I got over Christmas or at the book swap before Christmas.  o.o  And this is not counting the fact that seven more books are in the mail to me from the the site and another three are waiting to be mailed out.  I've also got five more credits with the book site, going to get another one in a day or two - holy crap, guys!

With the exception of brand new books by must have authors, my book spending is going to drop like crazy thanks to this site.  If you consider the postage I pay to send books out to get those credits, my books are costing me about - *does the math* - $1.50 each?  If that? :D

I love Kathy Reichs' books! And I adored The Strange Files of Fremont Jones :)

I love "Bones" and my friend Lauren really likes the books. :D Oh good! I hadn't ever heard of the Fremont Jones books it but it looked really interesting.

Oh! Oh! Read "The Lamplighter" next! I really enjoyed that one. Can't wait till the second one is available in softcover! :)

*moves that up to the front* It's neck and neck with "Rice and Salt" right now, then. :D After those two, I think I'm just going to give up and read them according to author's last name.

I liked the Glasswright's apprentice, although it can drag in places. I seriously need to read 'Years of rice and salt'.

'Years' looks awesome. And thanks for letting me know - I'm using this site as a way to get all the books I've seen but never thought were worth paying full price for. ;)

*nods* First book in the series seems all about setting up the world, introducing you to the people. (I remember 3 in the series? It's been awhile since I read them.) Second book is sort of setting up some conflict, gives you some answers to bits from the first book, then the third one is the pay off for all that stuff.

It was pretty good.
