Devi Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Well, all my books arrived... except for one. I gave it three days to see if anymore packages arrived, none had, so I had a big opening tonight. I will show you what I got so far, biggest book spree I have ever done and will be my last one too. I'm kind of embarrassed I bought so many when I look at the pile, but it did make me feel a lot better. Ah well, whats done is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devi Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 These four I got for $7 today at my local book barn, I don't even think they were read, no creases in the spine whatsoever. For $7 I would give the books a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devi Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Next up is my big shop... This one is a signed hardback edition. A bit of a strange food book. Synopsis from Goodreads Jean-Marie Charles d’Aumout is many things. Orphan, soldier, diplomat, spy, lover. And chef. This is his story. We meet Jean-Marie d’Aumout as a penniless orphan eating beetles by the side of a road. His fate is changed after an unlikely encounter finds him patronage and he is sent to military academy. Despite his frugal roots, and thanks to it and courage in great measure, he grows up to become a diplomat and spy. Rising through the ranks of eighteenth-century French society, he feasts with lords, ladies and eventually kings, at the Palace of Versailles itself. Passionate love, political intrigue and international adventure abound in Jean-Marie’s life, but his drive stems from a single obsession: the pursuit of the perfect taste. Three-Snake Bouillabaisse, Pickled Wolf’s Heart and Flamingo Tongue are just some of the delicacies he devours on his journey toward the ultimate feast. But beyond the palace walls, revolution is in the air and the country is clamouring with hunger of a different kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devi Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Great haul Devi! enjoy them all Thanks. You should of seen the shopping cart when i started! I had 43 books before I started the cull. What a lot of books - I hope you enjoy reading them. I see you've got Madame Bovary - Kay will enjoy discussing that with you! Did Kay love or loath it? A friend recommended I read it and for $5 thought why not try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidsmum Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Lovely book pics Devi - I hope you enjoy Pillars Of The Earth when you get round to reading it, it's a big book but once you get into the story you can't put it down - that's what i found when i read it Madame Bovary & The Hare With The Amber Eyes are both on my TBR list so i'll be interested to hear what you think about them if you get round to them first. Hope your feeling better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signor Finzione Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 What an amazing haul Devi!! Love love LOVE the new books! And so glad they made you feel a bit better. Hope you enjoy the Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare. I really enjoyed the first book (haven't read the other two yet), and it seems you got them for an absolute bargain! I've posted this in a couple of other threads too: I came across this the other day and thought you might like it. It's one of those Reddit things to count how many fantasy series' you've read.

Hope your feeling better soon Thanks, seem to be improving slightly, mostly down times but there are good days. Yes the size of Pillars of the Earth looks a bit intimidating, I have picked it up a few times in the shops. When I saw this copy for so cheap, I finally caved. What an amazing haul Devi!! Love love LOVE the new books! And so glad they made you feel a bit better. Hope you enjoy the Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare.

Well these ones were apparently collector edition covers, and look brand new so thought why not. Thanks for the link. I own more titles than I have read! which is kind of embarrassing.
