Most recent books you bought.

Hey, I read the Xena scrolls, And she did not marry a lizard man.

Was it false advertising?

Just bought A Room Called Earth, a novel written by a person with Autism. I'm hoping to get some insight as to how the world looks to people on the spectrum.

Newest most recent, mythology by edith hamilton. As a gift for the daughter.

Got "The Forest House" and "Lady of Avalon" from the Avalon series. I haven't read "Mists of Avalon" in full yet but I really liked the movie based on the book and when I flipped through the "Mists of Avalon" and read a few pages I really liked what I read. So I have high hopes for this.

Hopefully it will be a while before I buy books again, or games, movies etc., so that my bank account can grow fat and happy.

I picked up an old Robert Silverberg sci fi novel, the tower of glass, in a street library. Read well, though not really a great book. Typical of the time when it was written. On a whim, I wrote Robert, who is 90 years old, and he responded.

Where's My Cow? by Terry Pratchett [words] and Melvyn Grant [pictures]
A delightful light read. I can see why young Sam Vimes likes it.

The Kindle version of "Eye of the World" by Robert Jordan. For me, one of my favorite series, an oldie-but-goodie. Something I can use to pass the time on road trips, on break at work, or at the doctor's office.
The Kindle version of "Faerie Rising" by A.E. Lowan. The blurb I saw on Amazon gave me a Terry Brooks "Running with the Demon", "Knight of the Word" modern-yet-magical sort of vibe, so I thought to check it out. It'll be something new.

Day of the Triffids, by John Wyndham — I haven’t owned it for yonks, and it’s for book club in a bit so I should re-read it.
If Wishes Were Retail, by Auston Habershaw
Dream-Quest of Vellitt Bose, Kim Johnson

And a couple of non-fiction, including a little one on time-keeping, A History of Time, and Walter Isaacson’s biography of Leonardo da Vinci.

Anna Karenina, loving it, had forgotten how much I love 19th C russian lit. Downside is I feel his sentence structures bleeding into mine when I try to work on my own book. Kind of like chopping hot chilli-peppers then using the same knife and cutting board to slice bread, and wondering why your sandwich burns your mouth.

It's one of my favourite books! I enjoyed it so much.

[Karlin]

Black Water Sister, Zen Cho. Involves mediums who atectaken over by gods. Based on Chinese folk beliefs

I bought "Song of Achilles" by M. Miller and am in awe with her prose.

 

[Gurkhal]

I'm getting some Christmas stuff and decided to add some more to it.

In this case Pritt Buttar's tetralogy on the Eastern Front in the Great War: "Collision of Empires", "Germany Ascendant", "Russia's Last Gasp" and "Splintered Empires".

There are a ton of books about the Western Front in the Great War but not so much about the Eastern Front so I decided to strike out and get this series. I've read the first book before and I liked it.

 

[Gurkhal]

And I decided to throw in the Tamuli series by David Eddings for some lighter reading: "Shinning Ones", "Hidden City" and "Domes of Fire".

 

[Gurkhal]

Third post in a row. I blame the inability to edit post after certain time.

Anyway, I decided to skip Buttar for now. I am getting the Tamuli books however.
