Devi Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I went on a little bit of a book spree. I only intended to grab this box set. I wanted it for display - silly I know. Then I saw these and thought well, why not. Heard it's supposed to be a good series. These last ones I could not pass up. There wasn't much difference between prices for here and BD, I imagine because it was already a released series. I bought these copies because I am attending a meet and greet signing event with Robin Hobb! - in Melbourne in November. I would love for her to sign these editions.

Kylie Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Ooh, great pressies! I really enjoyed The Graveyard Book and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is one of my favourite books. I love your editions of The Farseer Trilogy! I bought the trilogy cheaply at the book fair the other day ($4 each), but they're much older editions and nowhere near as nice. If I really like them after reading them, I'll definitely fork out for nicer editions. How cool that you'll get to meet Hobb in person!

Athena Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Great new books, they are very pretty ! I hope you enjoy them all. It's very cool you'll get to meet Robin Hobb . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signor Finzione Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Awesome books! I've heard the Dashner series is even better than the Hunger Games. And I'm so jealous of your Farseer books! I have the old shiny ones, and had to stop myself re-buying them the other week because I love the new covers so much. How exciting that you're going to meet her!

Devi Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 I just read past a couple of chapters past The Red Wedding in A Storm of Swords and oh my! What a chapter that was... I am going to eat, clean, and shower as fast as I can so I can get to bed and keep reading! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to eat, clean, and shower as fast as I can so I can get to bed and keep reading! That's great ! I agree, it was quite an intense chapter. I've just noticed this, but why is there an 'n' after 'Devi's Mount TBR List 2014'? I can remove it for you if you want, though if you have a special meaning with it that's fine too, I'm just puzzled as to what it could be .

I must of accidently typed it when I was editing my first post yesterday. Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Begins Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 A little late to the party, but I can't wait to read The Maze Runner series! I had been wanting to see the movie first, but it looks like that won't happen. I'm planning on November or December for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 They are on my TBR too, though I don't have a specific time on when I plan on reading them (group read anyone ?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athena Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I don't mind reading at least the first book this year. Same! Though I think when I read the first book, I'll probably want to read the other books soon after that. I don't think I have any specific plans for November post read-a-thon, so whenever it suits the both of you . The end of November would work for me I think (at this point in time, at least).

Devi Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Today, my mother, sister, myself and my boyfriend went and had lunch with my boyfriends mum, and to take photos of her pups. There was a bookshop next door to the place we ate at so we all went in - all of us readers. I had these two from the MaddAddam series. but saw the first and third book matching my second cover, and well... I'm so bad! The books are same size, photo is a little misleading.

Anna Begins Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Have you read them before? I'm in the almost to the middle of Year of the Flood. I like that cover of MaddAddam, but the one for Oryx and Crake is so creepy. Fitting Definitely some of the stranger books I've read.

Devi Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 More pics of pups, please Or is that too demanding? Sure! I wanted to smuggle one away... One cllimbed into my jacket to keep warm so I nicknamed her snuggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
