Just to clear this off my post queue!
Picked up electronically from Kobo:
- Where I Belong, by Alan Doyle. Memoir. I bought the hardcopy of this from greatbigsea.com earlier this year, but of course I wanted the ebook too.
- Green Rider, by Kristen Britain. Fantasy. Re-buy of a book previously owned in print, the first of her ongoing series that finally had a book five show up. I’m more likely to re-read books 1 and 2 if I have them electronically, so this is me going about getting those.
- The Forest of Hands and Teeth, by Carrie Ryan. YA/Zombies. Another re-buy of a book previously owned in print, because I want to get caught up on her zombie books, too.
- Writing Out the Notes, by Bob Hallett. Another memoir. Because as long as I’m reading stuff by Great Big Sea musicians, I really ought to finally read this too! I’ve got a print copy, but it’s available in ebook as well.
Pre-ordered electronically from Barnes and Noble:
- Unbound, by Jim C. Hines. Urban fantasy. Book 3 of his Magic Ex Libris series, which I went ahead and pre-ordered on general Supporting Mr. Hines principles, particularly since he recently drew the ire of GamerGate.
127 for the year. And I’m counting the Hines as this year even though it doesn’t drop till January, because I’m paying for it now.

>Another re-buy of a book previously owned in print<
I have a very long list called "completion books" – books I want to rebuy in electronic format. Slowly, but surely, I am doing so. The kicker is when the book is so old, there is no ebook. Perhaps, one day.
When I do culls off my bookshelves (which I periodically have to do, ’cause well I keep buying books and everything), I generally target the ones that I KNOW I can replace electronically, if I still want them around in some form.
I’ve got others that I went ahead and took to the used bookstore down the hill even though I knew they weren’t available. Those I’m tracking on my “no-ebook-yet” shelf on Goodreads and I’ll be snapping them up if they show up in electronic form.
