Buying a book!!

[dwndrgn]

I've got a bit of cash and will be stopping by the bookstore tomorrow! Woo hoo! What am I going to get? I dunno...any suggestions?

I'm jealous. I wish I had some money to go buy a book.

You mentioned in another thread that you like Kage Baker's books and wish there were more. Have you read Black Projects, White Nights: The Company Dossiers? If not, I would recommend it. It is a collection of short stories loosely connected to the Company. Some of them feature characters from the novels of the Company, some of them introduce new characters. Unfortunately, I think it is still only out in hardback. It's been a year since it came out though, so you might want to check to see if it is in paperback yet.

Baker also has a new book out, a fantasy novel about a retired assassin, called The Anvil of the World. I haven't read it yet, because my library hasn't gotten it and, as I mentioned, I can't afford books at the moment. However, the reviews I've read of it make it sound like it is pretty good.

Happy book buying.

If you haven't read "A Winter's Tale" by Mark Halprin, I recommend it. Very poetic and affirming.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, I could not buy a book, had to buy other stuff.

Thanks for the suggestions though, I will keep them on my list...

I hate it when that happens (and it happens to me quite often). I hope you get to go on your book-buying expedition soon.

Is there any chance that a local library will order you a couple of gems of your own choosing?

Well, as it happens I did stop by the library and got a couple since I couldn't buy anything. I was lucky enough to be surprised by a new book in a favorite series (Bernard Cromwell, the Richard Sharpe series) and got that as well as another sci-fi/fantasy mix by an author I am unfamiliar with so I can't recall the name or the title.

So, I'm not bookless...at least for the moment! Thanks for the thought though! I'll remember that the next time I know there is a good book out but they don't carry it.
