What Books have you purchased recently?

[SirPsycho]

I was at a Barnes and Noble and shopped around it for an hour or so. Saw a lot of stuff I wanted like a D&D Clue and the Drizzt Board Game.

All I ended up buying was a hardcover copy of Snuff from the bargain tables.

Got all this today. The DM guide was $10 and came with the DM screen. The rest of the books were $3 each. I need to rebind most of them though.

local newspaper had a massive booksale for charity today, continuing tomorrow. 400,000 books for sale, there was a line of people (some who had been there since midnight) waiting to get in when it opened at 9. the line went down the street, around the corner halfway up the next block, into the parking lot and zig-zagged a ways through there before finally stopping, probably around 250-500 people waiting to get in. security at every door and they had to limit the number of people inside at any one time. it was intense, but at $3 each for hardcovers, $2 for softcovers, and $1 for pocketbooks it was worth it.

now for the haul:

Well, I just got back from Goodwill and found a nice Discworld treasure trove in their newest cart 'o books.

This cover of Soul Music is better than the one I already have (holo > not holo), and I have a hardcover Hogfather already and another of that same copy of The Light Fantastic.

Copyright 1978, I found this mixed in with the children's books at a local thrift store for $0.69.

Ordered this and it just came a few days ago, it's basically extra backstory and information in the form of a Journal.

I'm kinda ashmed to admit it, but... that actually looks kinda cool. The illustrations are reminiscent of Link's "graffiti" form in Link Between Worlds.

That reminds me: I've been seeing a few Friendship is Magic DVDs at the thrifts here and there lately, and at fair prices. I might actually buy one and watch it, just to see what the fuss is all about. And of course all that hawt plottage--

Errrr...

*Cough* Moving on to a another geeky pastime chock-full of scary fanboys, I recently grabbed this trio of mid-90s Warhammer goodness for $8:

picked this up from a local bookstore. i've never read the bible and am coming at it from a literary interest, i want to understand where the infinite number of references to it came from. not religious so this should be interesting, at some point i plan on reading other religious texts too.

After seeing the band for a third time, I really wanted to pick up Jeremy's recently released book.  He was seriously energized on stage - more than I'd noticed before.  And he and Ivan were greatly connected during the show.

[img width=630 height=945]http://www.revolvermag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/DeathPunchd_HC_c.jpg[/img]

So far the book has been extremely entertaining, considering that he and I grew up with the same musical exposure and similar rebelious influences.  Jeremy Spencer is very articulate and well spoken which is appreciated by someone that finds many music biographies bland and somewhat mundane.  Any time that a celebrity or musician releases a biography requiring no "as told by" or "with so and so", I pay attention.  And Death Punch'd is HIS work and HIS words.  No, this isn't a book you want to read to the kids at night.  I highly recommend it to any music fans or those looking for inspiration to kick their addiction.

Finally found some Goodwill books after a drought.

I rarely EVER find World of Darkness novels, so the clan novels were a very welcome addition. The Gundam manga are additions to my slowly growing Gundam collection. Forgotten Realms collection is now over 115 novels, out of the 500+ out there...

2 more Dragonlance Novels towards my wife's collection, and another Margaret Weis novel for one of the last Margaret Weis series we don't have completed. Heading back during lunch today to pick up the Mystic Empire hardcover to complete that series, and nabbing a cheap Warhammer manual.
