That was a terrific book. It was loaded on the second-hand Sony reader that I bought last year and I put off registering the device until I had finished reading it! I want to get the sequel, but haven't done so yet.

Did you really buy On Basilisk Station? It's one of the free books at Baen's site. http://www.webscription.net/pc-304-1...k-station.aspx

I have heard many good things about this book, so it's on my wishlist for now.

Now this is what I've bought in May:

On May 2, I bought a bunch of multi-format books at Fictionwise:
  • Fracture by Roxanne Smolen
  • Milford Spitz and the Very Fast Machine by James S. Hoch
  • Tornado Bait (A Tina Anderson Mystery #1) by Amy Eastlake
  • In Over My Head (Chesapeake Conference Center Mystery Series Book 1) by Diane Marquette
  • The Secret Portrait (Fairbairn/Cameron Mystery Series Book 1) by Lillian Stewart Carl
  • Sten (Sten Series #1) by Allan Cole & Chris Bunch
  • What Thin Partitions (The Hilarious Misadventures of Ralph Kennedy Book 1) by Mark Clifton
  • Runner's Moon: Jebaral (Book 1) by Linda Mooney
I'm trying out a couple of new series and I hope that they tempt me to get the rest of the books.

And, from Amazon, I've picked up:
  • Once Bitten, Twice Shy by Jennifer Rardin (free)
  • Weapons of Choice by John Birmingham (free)
  • Elric: The Stealer of Souls by Michael Moorcock (free)
  • Joy's Life Diet by Joy Bauer
  • The Huntress by Shiloh Walker (free)
  • The Second Ship (Rho Agenda: Book One) by Richard Phillips
  • The Merchant of Death (Pendragon, book one) by D J McHale (free)
So far this month, I've spent more money at Fictionwise than at Amazon. It makes up for how much I spent last month when a couple of the series that I follow brought out new books and I just *had* to have them.
