And after that I promptly forgot about it. Heh.

Anyway, a third of the way in and I'm enjoying it a whole lot more than I expected to.

(Also, I think I'll adopt that system of going for the next most expensive TBR book also in the future, whenever I don't have a particular book or specific genre in mind. It'll serve to both make me feel a little better about all the spending I've been doing and remind me of books bought some time ago, which I've otherwise forgotten about. It might also be helpful in getting me to read outside my comfort sphere, especially since all the books I have bought, I have considered them potentially interesting, at least on the day of buying them.)
1. The story sounds interesting, thanks for mentioning it.

2. I like your "Most Expensive" TBR idea! Thankfully, my most expensive ebook purchase to date, The Parasol Protectorate Boxed Set, already happens to be in my reading plans for next year.
