Yep, you guessed it, yet more books for Anna

Just to follow up on my AmazonWin post, I wanted to officially note my purchase of the print edition of klages’s The Green Glass Sea here. Since, as mentioned, my ebook version was completely in italics and tough to read, so I got the print version instead!

Along with that, with a hat tip to mmegaera, I also purchased a print copy of Cordelia’s Honor, the omnibus paperback that contains both Shards of Honor and Barrayar. This is because a) I really ought to read me some Lois McMaster Bujold, b) solarbird has Barrayar but not Shards of Honor, and c) there are ebook versions of both of these books available but I frankly don’t like the cover art, so hey.

(Yes, folks, cover art is still a selling point even if your book is electronic. In case you were wondering.)

Meanwhile, I’ve also picked up two more ebooks from Barnes and Noble: Well of Sorrows by Benjamin Tate (who, don’t look now, is also known as jpsorrow shhh), which I’d read in ARC form but which I definitely wanted to purchase by way of support. Review post is forthcoming!

And, also, J.A. Pitts’ Black Blade Blues, which I had to buy pretty much on principle because it’s yet another urban fantasy set in Seattle–but this time, it’s got a lesbian heroine who’s a blacksmith. Dude. I am THERE. Dyke urban fantasy heroines FTW!

This, my friends, brings me up to 142 for the year.

I've been out of town sans Internet for the last week, which is why I'm late replying, but I'm looking forward to reading what you think of Cordelia's Honor!

I have multiple Bujolds on my To Read shelf now--I've got the first two books of her Sharing Knife series--so I'll have to see if I can work her in on this chain of author marathons I'm doing this summer. :) There will definitely be review posts!

Excellent [g].

Although I have to say, the Sharing Knife books are my least favorite Bujolds by quite a distance. If you're going to read non-Vorkosiverse books, the best ones are the first two in the Chalion universe, The Curse of Chalion, and Paladin of Souls, which features one of the best heroines I've ever read.

The Sharing Knife ones were given to me as a gift, so hey! Duly noted about the others, though. :)
