:blink: I didn't realise I'd done that Libra6Poe/brolie! Obviously Dexter daydreaming! And yeah it should've been Michael C White!

I loved it! It made me smile.

[brolie]

libri-- is terry brooks good? hes been recommended to me by a couple people but he seems TOOO fantasy/sci fi for me...

 

[libri vermis]

brolie,

The truth is no, Terry Brooks is not that good of a writer. But, his books are quick and formulaic reads, and sometimes that is just what my overworked brain needs.

A Kiss Before Dying by Ira Levin

A Kiss Before Dying by Ira Levin (his first novel)

I ordered this used off of Amazon. All of my Levin books are in these lovely hardcovers (all bought used at Half Price Books). I've never seen this particular novel at any used bookstores (and there aren't any new hardcovers of it either), so I decided to get it off of Amazon. The seller considered it to be in "good" condition - the book and the dust jacket. Both are barely "acceptable" condition. Ugh. And I'm not even a picky person, I feel that a crease, a little tear here and there give a book character. I like the worn in, read look to a book, but I'm so disappointed in this one. :sigh:

But I've been wanting to read this for awhile. I'll keep it and read it.

Warriors: Bluestar's Prophecy - Erin Hunter

I've been waiting for this one for awhile. Is it bad that an adult is buying children's books for herself? I'm hoping that the author does another book signing tour through here this year so I can get this one autographed.

It's not my usual reading fare. but I have been branching out lately and I was intrigued by reviews I read on amazon.

I probably won't get to it for awhile, though. So much I have bought, so little time. I need to give up sleeping.

I picked these (free) from my local public library. How? People leave books as donations on the steps near the rear of the builder. After asking if I could take some home, and was allowed, so I took these...
