Today is my birthday (61st it's hard to believe), so of course I had to go buy some books for my ever growing, slightly groaning TBR shelves. I liked Blake Crouch's Upgrade, and I already have Dark Matter, Stardust is the only book by Neil Gaiman that I haven't read (I tried watching the movie and stopped 30 minutes into it), and Dreadful just sounded like a fun book.

Despite what my girlfriend would say, going to the used bookstore and only purchasing 4 books shows an enormous amount of restraint on my part. I could have easily walked out with a dozen, but I have to wait until I purchase a new bookcase because I've about reached the limit with my current set up.

TheBookHippie I am amazed at this type of restraint. 2mo
Ruthiella What discipline! 👏👏👏 2mo

Bookwomble 🤔 Confused! 🤔 When you run out of shelves, isn't that what floors are for? 📚🪴📚 2mo

You know how you plan to buy one book and come out with many? I only wanted Titan's Day, then I saw the Palahniuk book and it sounded interesting, then the book by Jeff Vandermeer (who I've never read but wanted to try), then the new fantasy series by Van Loan sounded very intriguing, so I left with 5 instead of 1. But for only $6.69!! Who can blame me?!

Ruthiella Can‘t beat that price though! Nice haul. 👍 3mo
AnnCrystal 📚👏😂👍🥳. 3mo
Bookwomble No judgements here! Entirely defensible 😄 3mo

I forgot to post my #bookhaul from Friday's visit to the used book store. Good picks for under 20 bucks.

KathyWheeler I really need to read Robogenesis. I like Robopocalypse. 4mo
Ruthiella Have you read the Magician‘s series yet? Or are you currently just collecting? 4mo
RamsFan1963 @Ruthiella I've had the first two books for awhile, but they're both in hardback, and I haven't been able to find the 3rd book that wasn't more than I wanted to pay. I saw this one trade paperback and decided to go ahead and get it while I can. 4mo

Friday was turning out to be a crappy day, but when I got home I had #bookmail, and that made everything alright (at least until tomorrow).
#nevertoomanybooks #neverenoughshelves

Leftcoastzen Bookmail definitely makes the day end better! Hope tomorrow is better! 7mo
Ruthiella Yay for retail therapy! 7mo
Bookwomble I hope tomorrow's ok, too (or is already being ok, depending on your time zone 🙂) 7mo

The first book haul of 2024. I was especially happy to find Fuzzy Nation, the only book by Scalzi I haven't read, and Robots Versus Slime Monsters, a short story collection by A. Lee Martinez, another favorite author.
#nevertoomanybooks #neverenoughshelves

audraelizabeth Those look like they are older scifi books, am i right? 10mo
RamsFan1963 @audraelizabeth Fuzzy Nation & Robots vs Slime Monsters are fairly recent, 2011 & 2013, but the other four books are much older, from the 70s & early 80s. 10mo
Ruthiella Fuzzy Nation was a lot of fun. I think you‘ll like it! 10mo

audraelizabeth Nice, i dont know that ive read any scifi of that age. 10mo
RamsFan1963 @audraelizabeth The best thing about older sci-fi is it's usually one and done, you don't have to read a series of books to get the whole story. It's getting harder and harder to find genre books that aren't either the start of a new series or part of an existing series. I read plenty of series, don't get me wrong, but sometimes it's nice to get the whole story laid out in 175-200 pages. 10mo
audraelizabeth I understand, im bad about not finishing series. I would think it would be interesting to read how they thought life in current times would be. 10mo

I got a good #bookhaul from the used bookstore. I've been wanting to try the Thursday Next series, so I was thrilled to see they had The Eyre Affair (and the rest if I want to continue the series). I remember Urshurak from when I was like 15, but it looked too much like a LOTR ripoff so I skipped it. I'll read anything by John Scalzi & Mike Resnick.
#nevertoomanybooks #neverenoughshelves

Bookwomble I had the exact same experience with Urshurak when I was a teen - it looked fantastic, the Hildebrand artwork lush, but the story looked too derivative of JRRT, so I never actually read it. 13mo

After a quick trip to the used book store to drop off a load of books, I decided to treat myself. I was already getting the Star Wars book, but I'm excited to read the book about 80s action stars. The author wrote a very good book, Wild & Crazy Guys, about 80s comedy stars.
#nevertoomanybooks #neverenoughshelves

TieDyeDude All three of those books sound interesting. I picked up From a Certain Point of View a couple weeks ago, but I still have to read the Empire one. 13mo
RamsFan1963 @TieDyeDude While I think Empire is the superior film to A New Hope, I thought the first FACPOV book was better than the sequel. 13mo

What's the best way to deal with Litsy's current condition? Buy more books of course!! For those who can't see, I got The Cradle of Ice by James Rollins and Into The Light by David Weber & Chris Kennedy. The Rollins' book just came out earlier this year and I already found a copy in the bargain section of BAM! Score!!

I might have gotten a little carried away at today's bookstore visit, but it's been awhile since I splurged. 4 of these books were on my wishlist to read. The Dan Jones book I'd been eager to read after reading his excellent book on the Dark Ages, Powers and Thrones. The Lore book was just a whim, it sounded interesting.
