Is anyone interested in sharing the titles you've purchased from the Connect site (with coupon or without)?

I think it'd be helpful to list books we've bought from the actual Connect site, in hopes of helping others become aware of offerings they might have missed due to miscategorizing errors and faulty search capabilities.

Ack! A typo in the thread title!

I like that idea. I plan to purchase some books once my wife brings the reader home nextg week.

Anyone else interested?

Dragon's Fire -- Anne & Todd McCaffrey
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- Douglas Adams
The Restauraunt at the End of the Universe -- Douglas Adams
Life, the Universe and Everything -- Douglas Adams
The Speed of Dark -- Elizabeth Moon
Combo Book: Remnant Population & Trading in Danger -- Elizabeth Moon

Here are the books I will be purchasing:

Armageddon by Max Hastings
Flags of Our Fathers by Ron Powers & James Bradley
The Village by Bing West
Always Faithful by William W Putney

They are all military history related

Okay, I'll start.

Year's Best SF 7, when it cost $0.00 :devilish:
The Halloween Bundle, including the following by Kim Harrison:
Dead Witch Walking
Every Which Way But Dead
Good, Bad, and the Undead
Fistful of Charms
Dates from HellPerdido Street Station, by China Mieville

I already have the first four books by Kim Harrison in paperback, but I might be more likely to read them sooner if they're on my Reader. And I've bought and returned Perdido twice already, wanting very much to like it, but being put off by the gross-out factor. As my taste seems to darken over time, I may be ready to try it again. I've thought about what that says about our culture, or the genre, or about me.

Greg Bear - Darwin's Radio/Darwin's Children (combo book)
Dan Simmons - Ilium
Neil Gaiman - Anansi Boys
Karen Traviss - Star Wars: Boba Fett A Practical Man

Also downloaded Adventures of Sherlock Holmes from Gutenberg.

ooh, combo...
Thanks for mentioning this, which was miscategorized by Connect as fantasy. Bear - fantasy? :snobby:

So far:

Perdido Street Station, by China Mieville
The Baroque Cycle, by Neal Stephenson
Pattern Recognition, by William Gibson

The Peace War (http://ebooks.connect.com/product/400/000/000/000/000/035/885/400000000000000035885.html) by Verner Vinge

I'm liking most of these books!

kenbaldwin, did you buy the Baroque Cycle books individually, or did you find a bundle somewhere? I could only find the individual books.

Catch Me if You Can - Frank W. Abignale Jr.
Freakenomics - Steven D. Levitt
Pompeii - Robert Harris
There's more I want, but I want to see a) if they adjust the out-of-whack prices and, b) if I can get my Canadian Visa with it's secondary US authorized address to work. Otherwise I'm going to have to go down to the local credit union and buy some prepaid visa cards on which I'll register a primary US address.

Designated Targets -- John Birmingham
Dune Bundle
Dune: House Atreides -- Brian Herbert
Dune: House Corrino -- Brian Herbert
Dune: House Harkonnen -- Brian Herbert
Gunpowder Empire -- Harry Turtledove
World War Z -- Max Brooks -- I'm enjoying this one. Kinda a news accounting of the "Zombie War"

I kinda interpreted the $50 gc as "1/2 off $100" ;)

1491 - Charles C. Mann
1776 - David McCullough
Adam Smith and teh Origins of American Enterprise - Roy C. Smith
Freakonomics - Steven D. Levitt
Parasite Rex - Carl Zimmer
The Physics of Superheroes - James Kakalios
A Short History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson
The Wealth of Nations - Adam Smith

kenbaldwin, did you buy the Baroque Cycle books individually, or did you find a bundle somewhere? I could only find the individual books.

I had to spring for them separately--and volumes 2-3 are kinda pricey ($16/ea).

I had bought a test-ebook (two books in one) in Secure MS Reader format, and was not happy with the results I got in converting it rtf (lost the italics and links). Oh well, it was a $5 experiment.

After an hour of going blind hunting for all the italics in both books, I broke down and essentially bought the books AGAIN, this time from the Connect site. Did I mention that I also have these in paperback? Yes, I've now bought them three times!

So now I've officially used up my $50 credit with my recent purchase, all written by Robin Hobb:

Assassin's Apprentice
Royal Assassin
Assassin's Quest
and...
The Tawny Man Bundle

This had better be nicely formatted! :pumpkin:

These are great fantasy books, Michele! Once you are done reading them, check out Hobb's The Liveship Traders, which is, I think, her best series so far.

Getting Things Done by David Allen. Great book, but the poor compression of the diagrams ruin it somewhat. Caveat emptor.

The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman. Bit of a disappointment. This whole "flattening" of the world is kind of obvious and self-evident. Not sure why it was necessary to write a whole book to get such an obvious point across.

Dragon's Fire -- Anne & Todd McCaffrey
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- Douglas Adams
The Restauraunt at the End of the Universe -- Douglas Adams
Life, the Universe and Everything -- Douglas Adams
The Speed of Dark -- Elizabeth Moon
Combo Book: Remnant Population & Trading in Danger -- Elizabeth Moon

Nathan,
Don't know all of these but IMHO "The Speed of Dark" is good but somewhat depressing. I identified strongly with the main character though so that may have been why.

Also Moon is a great writer but "Remnant Population" was one I just couldn't get into.

These are great fantasy books, Michele! Once you are done reading them, check out Hobb's The Liveship Traders, which is, I think, her best series so far.Thanks! I've put this trilogy of trilogies off for a long time. While many love Farseer and Tawny Man, it seems that they either love or hate Liveship Traders. While I do have it in paperback, I couldn't bring myself to buy it in ebook quite yet.

Tawny man bundle is set after the liveship stories so I would highly recommend reading in order.

Robin Hobb has become on of my favourite authors. Her new series is also shaping up quite well although the first book is a little slow, I found the second book to be a real page turner. I'm waiting patiently on her conclusion to the Soldier Son trilogy.

Nathan,

Also Moon is a great writer but "Remnant Population" was one I just couldn't get into.I more or less expected Speed of Dark to be a bit (don't pardon the pun) dark and dreary, and I've turned away from Remnant Population a couple of times in the past. My wife is doing PhD work at the same university that Moon went to (Rice University, that is) and they spotlighted her in the last Alumni magazine. The synopsese of those books sparked my interest, and, hey, I had 50 free dollars to spend. :beam:

I really liked Moon's Familias Regnant series (that was before I started reading Weber's Honor Harrington series, they seem a bit flat by comparison), and The Deed of Paksenarrion was most excellent to me. I thought I'd branch out a bit more in her works. I'm not sure about the Trading in Danger series, it doesn't look terribly interesting to me, but I'll give it a go, perhaps I'll love it and have to have the rest of them. :grin:

Tawny man bundle is set after the liveship stories so I would highly recommend reading in order.Yes, that is my intention. :)

My first books from the store gotta be Garth Nix's The Abhorsen Trilogy

Check it out...very good.
