Part 2: #Amazon #Bookhaul

Published in #1990 by prolific #sci-fi #fantasy author #PiersAnthony known for his #Xanth Series. Used to own a copy, but lost nearly half my collection in house #fire in 2015.

If you like smart, yet graphic horror I highly recommend.

NOTE: includes graphic descriptions of Gore and sex

madamereadsalot1 I didn't know he wrote horror!!!! I LOVE Xanth! I have to get this! 6y
bookcollecter Yes! He is very prolific....nearly 200 novels/novellas I believe. He has some other great horror series as well like the #incarnationsofimmortality series. 6y
madamereadsalot1 I bought the first one in the incarnations series. Haven't read it yet. I'm so bad about being all over the place with my reading. 😅 6y
bookcollecter I know the feeling 😉 I'm usually reading like ten different books at a time...just plain 🥜🥜🥜 lol 6y

My next slow read (kidding) is this tale from the world of Xanth. Finding I shouldn't reread these as an adult. But the damage is done...

klarusu I loved these as a youngster. Approached a reread as an adult and in consequence, purged them from my library. Issues with sexism, racism, bad writing. I wish I'd left them as a fond memory. 7y
gilroyc @klarusu I'm running into the same issue. 7y
esanderson I acquired quite a bit of Anthony on recommendation from a friend. I'm finding the same things you mentioned, and reconsidering that friendship 😉 7y
SqueakyChu I never read any, but I remember searching for every book in this series to get for my daughter when she was a youngster. They didn‘t leave any lasting harm on her! 😃 7y

wordslinger42 @GrilledCheeseSamurai I just posted yesterday asking the same thing! I'm currently reading Vale of the Vole! 7y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @Centique @wordslinger42 I've been toying with the idea of doing a re-read this summer. They are the perfect books for a blanket in the park! 🤸‍♂️ 7y
CSeydel I read them in college ☺️ 7y
CSeydel @CatchMyBookBreath I loved Incarnations of Immortality! I found #Xanth to be fun and light while Incarnations was a little deeper and more interesting. (edited) 7y
wordslinger42 @GrilledCheeseSamurai Definitely! This is the first time I've read the series, but I love it so far. I heard there's supposed to be a new one coming out soon! 7y
Reggie I don‘t know if you ever listen to This American Life, it‘s a podcast, but there‘s this episode about this boy who was having a tough time at home and decides to runaway to go live with Piers Anthony, and funny enough he finds him based on the clues Piers leaves on the sections about his life in the back of the books. The story was so touching. 20 years later both boy and Piers talk to each other. Such a moving episode. 7y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @Reggie Right one. 👍 7y

Piers Anthony favors #alliterativetitles in his #Xanth series apparently. #marchintoreading
I probably have more, not from Xanth, but figured I would theme this blurb. 😊😊

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Major high school nostalgia. 8y

#Xanth is my happy place so I'm going to go visit for a while. Reading one of my Christmas gifts and (I think, @BookishMarginalia ) this is #LitsyAtoZ #letterI

Loving this! I've been a huge Piers Anthony fan for a long time, and this new title is one more light of brilliance in a truly stellar career.
