The Last for a While...

I wound up returning a book, so I had book credit. This automatically seems to lead to me buying books ASAP. I narrowed my purchases down and hopefully will be able to resist until October when there are a couple books out that I haven't pre-ordered yet. I figured since my birthday was in October, I should wait and concentrate on the months before. I allowed myself FOUR more books.

I bought this book for the Once Upon a Time Challenge. Iliana told me she would read it with me and I usually like to buy one book to read during the time period of the challenge. This book looks really good and I have never read Jo Walton before. Do I have other books by her on my TBR pile? um, yes... Books that were very highly recommended by my friend at the second hand bookstore. I just don't quite know where they are and I have seen good reviews of this...

I have seen a few good reviews of this, too. It is only out in hardcover in Canada, but the UK claims it has a paperback edition. The paperback isn't out here until August, so hopefully it is the same book!I wanted this back when I ordered my other non-fiction books, but I had to say no to some things. I decided to get it with the next book I will be posting. Since the other book is a pre-order it won't get here until May. That means I will have it eventually, but will give me time to read what I have all ready bought.

Troublesome Young Men was really interesting. Decided to try another book by her. The hardcover is out all ready, but going to wait for the paperback release in May.

  1. I'll be interested to see what you think of Citizens of London. I have heard good things, though I am of course prejudiced because I frantically love all things relating to England during World War II. Among Others you will surely like, because it's very good.
