Devi Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 I have Un Lun Dun on my wishlist. Someone on here mentioned it a couple of months ago and I thought it sounded so fantastically intriguing! That is amazing! I am glad I picked it up now. When I am done I am more than happy to send it forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devi Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 I'm almost halfway through A Game Of Thrones but because of multiple seizures, I've slowed back down again I got some more shelves to hold more of my non fiction books, which had begun overflowing the one shelf I had originally. Will try and take a photo tomorrow, currently I am in bed on my partners laptop, typing to you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I am so behind on everyone's reading threads, so I have only just seen this: Pack of Thieves? 52 Port Arthur Lives - Hamish Maxwell-Stewart & Susan HoodWow! I thought I was the only person in the world who had this book! I bought it from Port Arthur quite a few years ago when I visited there. The book came with a deck of 52 cards as well. I guess each card represents a convict, but I can't remember how the cards are connected to the book (I think it's just a gimmick). I'll have to dig those cards out and have a look at them. For some reason my copy of this book is tucked away in a box somewhere. You've certainly received some interesting book hauls recently! Good stuff and great bargains! I hope you enjoy your upcoming holiday (may I ask which state you're going to?) and that your health is as good as it can possibly be *hugs*.

I found it on the ladies shelf and thought it looked rather interesting! The deck of cards would of been cool - the title makes more sense now too. I'm off to QLD, we are planning on going whale watching!!! I am so super excited for it. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't own any signed books.. *envies* Here's my comments to some of your titles: The Reality Dysfunction - Peter F. Hamilton - Absolutely loved this series (5 out of 5 stars), I recommend getting the other two too if you like this one, so that you can continue the story. The Complete Chronicles of the Crystal Singers of Ballybran - Anne McCaffrey - I have the book on my shelf but haven't read it yet. Line of Polity - Neal Asher - I have the book on my shelf but not read any of the series yet. The Last Theorem - Arthur C. Clarke & Frederik Pohl - I believe this may be on my wishlist but I could be wrong. The Redemption of Althalus - David and Leigh Eddings - I liked this book and gave it 4 out of 5 stars.

julie Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Devi Your new bookshelf looks very nice . I hope you are feeling better today . The whale-watching trip sounds like so much fun . That'd be exciting . Last time we went to the beach ( a L O N G time ago ), we saw lots of dolphins ,but no whales . I think the beach is the best vacation place ever . Love watching the waves. So peaceful ,isn't it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devi Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) i came on to post about something when I had a seizure. Hopefully it comes back to me soon. Thanks Julie, I've always had a thing for whales and wolves - odd combo right. Thanks Athena, and it sounds like I kept all the right books then Edited July 4, 2013 by Devi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julie Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Devi It's ok if you like whales and wolves. They really wouldn't be in the same territory ,but they are both types of animals, so you are an animal lover .

Little Pixie Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Ooh, nice shelves. Hope you enjoy the Amy Tan book, she`s one of my favourite authors. I don`t know if anyone else has suggested it, but have you tried The Book Depository for cheaper books ? They deliver worldwide, and I`ve used them a few times to send books as presents to an old Uni friend in Australia. Hope you feel better soon.

Brian. Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Alone in Berlin is probably my all time favourite book, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devi Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) Pretty proud of myself tonight, managed to read 70 odd pages of Game of Thrones tonight. I have my eeg tomorrow. Kind of dreading it, I don't like the idea of being made to have a seizure on purpose. Edited July 7, 2013 by Devi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devi Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) I'm now home and about to shower to wash out the gel from the cap. What we know so far is that there is signs of seizure activity, and I have a dead part on the back right side of my brain - meaning no signals were coming back. I then went on a book shopping spree to cheer me up somewhat. List coming after i shower. Edited July 8, 2013 by Devi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Awww . I'm glad the book shopping helped a bit, look forward to see your list later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
