What's the last ebook you purchased? - Page 3

JSWolf · 02-26-2009, 09:09 PM

The last eBook I've purchased before the post is Star Trek: Titan: Over a Torrent Sea by Christopher L. Bennett. I had to purchase it in eReader as that is the only format Fictionwise has and they had it at 50% off plus the 5% for being in eReader.

What's bugging me is that it is in Mobipocket but Fictionwise doesn't stock it. At least eReader2html was able to convert it to HTML so it was not too bad to convert to LRF using BD.

Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs (Book 4 of the Mercedes Thompson series).
Alpha & Omega by Patricia Briggs. (short story)
Seraphs by Faith Hunter (Book 2 of the Rogue Mage Series)
Host by Faith Hunter (Book 3 of the Rogue Mage Series)

I haven't read book 1 of the Rogue Mage Series yet; but, I had a 25% coupon I needed to use.
I have read the first three books of the Mercedes Thompson series and greatly enjoyed them. I've also read the book version of Alpha and Omega and liked that as well. It wasn't as good as the Mercedes Thompson series.

Neptune Crossing by Jeff Carver. At least if you count tossing some change into the tip jar

That reminds me, still haven't tipped him for Strange Attractors....

I think it was Harraps French-English Dictionary...no, wait, it might have been the Penguin edition of The Odyssey. Actually, come to think, I may have bought them at the same time. Actually, no, it was Clive James' Cultural Amnesia. Hell, I don't bloody know! I rarely buy, finding too much ahead of me in the "public domain" aisles.

Cheers,
Marc

The Case of the Pitcher's Pendant

ficbot · 02-27-2009, 08:24 AM

I am about to finish the second book on the Liz Sullivan series by Lora Roberts and I had a Fictionwise coupon for 25% off, so I bought the remaining four books in the series, plus David Rothman's new book (I write for Teleread, so I felt like I had to; it is not my usual genre so I hope I like it!)

Catiline by Brandon Winningham (available at iUniverse in e-book format for $6). It's a historical fiction set in ancient Republican Rome times.

If you liked Saylor/Maddox/McCullough novels set in ancient Rome then you'll like this one as well.

Lilith's Brood by Octavia Butler.

FizzyWater · 02-27-2009, 11:16 PM

Uh...more than one...

Hope's Folly by Linnea Sinclair
Promises in Death by Nora Roberts
White Witch, Black Curse by Kim Harrison

...fooey, there was a fourth one, and I can't remember the name ...

...anyway, I'm currently reading Sinclair's book.

The First Light Chronicles Omnibus [Kindle Edition] Author: Randolph Lalonde - just getting started on it - but interesting so far. Not quite my usual. But I just got my kindle and wanted to try one.

I'm 2/3 through "The Snow Queen" now, and it's very nearly as good as the first in the series. The 2nd and 3rd were a bit obvious and more on the romance end of things rather than fantasy.

Thats the book by Tee Morris starring Billy Baddings isn't it?
I read the free pdf that Tee provided on his podcast feed before the book was published. It was quite good, the weird supernatural, horror bit threw for a bit of a loop.
Loved the first one The Singing Sword as a full cast audio novel.
