julie Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Devi Congrats on your first 2 book buys of the year. They have beautiful covers. I hope you enjoy them Quote
Chrissy Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Devi Congrats on your first 2 book buys of the year. They have beautiful covers. I hope you enjoy them Have to agree ~ gorgeous covers. I keep meaning to try Robin Hobb, and in fact have her Soldier Son Trilogy waiting on my kindle. Quote
Athena Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Congrats on the new books! Great covers too. I haven't heard of the Robin Hobb title, is it a new one? That's exciting . I must look both of them up at some point! Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Yeah, they are lovely covers I like the latest covers of Feist's 'Riftwar Saga', too - they follow the same style as the one you have there Quote
Signor Finzione Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Gorgeous new books Devi! Yeah, they are lovely covers I like the latest covers of Feist's 'Riftwar Saga', too - they follow the same style as the one you have there Magician.jpg They're gorgeous, aren't they? I'm almost tempted to re-buy my older ones so that they all match! Quote
Devi Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Devi Congrats on your first 2 book buys of the year. They have beautiful covers. I hope you enjoy them Thanks. I do love the covers too. Have to agree ~ gorgeous covers. I keep meaning to try Robin Hobb, and in fact have her Soldier Son Trilogy waiting on my kindle. I've read them, and they are good, but her assassins apprentice trilogy is better in my humble opinion. Look forward to hearing what you think when you get to them. Congrats on the new books! Great covers too. I haven't heard of the Robin Hobb title, is it a new one? That's exciting . I must look both of them up at some point! Yep! A new book. I had purchased a signed limited editon awhile back. Not sure if you remember or not. I took it out of its plastic once to photograph it, and never touched it again. I treasure it and wont let anyone else hold it etc. if you can't remember I will take photos for you. Yeah, they are lovely covers I like the latest covers of Feist's 'Riftwar Saga', too - they follow the same style as the one you have there Magician.jpg Gorgeous new books Devi! They're gorgeous, aren't they? I'm almost tempted to re-buy my older ones so that they all match! Oh don't tempt me you two! That cover is far better than the one I have for my current magician copy.

It's so tempting, isn't it? Which cover do you have? I have this one: It's not the best one out there, I'm sure you'll agree. Edited January 25, 2014 by Signor Finzione Quote
pontalba Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 They're gorgeous, aren't they? I'm almost tempted to re-buy my older ones so that they all match! I've done that..... They are good looking covers, Devi. Quote

This is my copy, a little worn with multiple reads from me and one read from my partner. A much loved book, this is what started it nine years ago for me. All from a friends recommendation too. R.E.F.s name was embossed in gold but that has worn out, but i quite like it that way. Edited January 26, 2014 by Devi Quote
Devi Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) I've done that..... They are good looking covers, Devi. Thank you! I must admit, I did get the better looking covers for the last two of the R.E.F. saga I am reading. I don't know what i will do with the doubles yet. Edited January 26, 2014 by Devi Quote
Devi Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 I just found this book and couldn't resist! Such a beautiful book, coloured pictures and all. Will take some pics of the inside. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 ^^ That's gorgeous This is my copy, a little worn with multiple reads from me and one read from my partner.

Never seen that one before This is mine: I'm tempted to replace it with the new version - it might prompt me to get beyond Silverthorn. Although he's written so many books I think, if I ever do read any further, it'll be on Kindle Quote

Although he's written so many books I think, if I ever do read any further, it'll be on Kindle I do love your cover better. I wouldn't blame you, my R.E.F. books take up one whole set of three tier shelves. Some are even on top of the books themselves. This was all pre kindle days though, and I doubt I could ever part with them. Edited January 26, 2014 by Devi Quote
Signor Finzione Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I love how well-loved your copy of Magician is! And I'm SO jealous of you owning the Midkemia book - I mope over it every time I go in Waterstones, and will buy it someday too. I'm tempted to replace it with the new version - it might prompt me to get beyond Silverthorn. Although he's written so many books I think, if I ever do read any further, it'll be on Kindle Empire trilogy! Empire trilogy! EMPIRE TRILOGY! Quote

And I'm SO jealous of you owning the Midkemia book - I mope over it every time I go in Waterstones, and will buy it someday too. Empire trilogy! Empire trilogy! EMPIRE TRILOGY! Agreed! Read the riftwar trilogy followed by the empire trilogy and you could really leave it at that if you didn't want to read the lot. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Problem is, I didn't like Silverthorn at all Maybe I'll have another go at some point Quote
Devi Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Problem is, I didn't like Silverthorn at all Maybe I'll have another go at some point I wasn't keen on it myself either, but I figure an author gets their up and down books. Edited January 27, 2014 by Devi Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I wasn't keen on it myself either, but I figure an author gets their up and down books. Oh yes, definitely - I just feel I that I want to get through the first trilogy before reading the Empire trilogy, so that would mean reading Magician again (cos it's years since I read it) and then trying Silverthorn again, and hopefully not disliking it so much second time through Quote
Athena Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Wow, that's a stunning book, Devi! And great to see your Magician's cover. Mine is a paperback which is mainly gold. I quite like it. Quote
Nollaig Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I have no idea what these books are but so many pretty pictures everywhere! Quote

Devi Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 Well, today is officially my 2 year anniversary on this amazing forum. Can I just say that I have never found such a good bunch of people, you are all kind and very friendly. This and my gaming forum have been the only two places that have kept me coming back month after month. What's best is there is no hatred towards one another, no trolling and no swearing - which deter me from other forums. Here is to another great year ahead. Thank you for having me here everyone.

Athena Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Happy 2nd year Anniversary, Devi ! We're happy to have you here . I hope this year will be great . Quote
