An I have no brain but I do have new books book roundup
Because I’m trying to clear out my queue and get SOMETHING done this week, here, a roundup of latest purchases, both in print and in digital, many of which were because of Norwescon!

Quick book roundup!
Yoinked for free from B&N’s ebook store: Picked up from Amazon because it’s not available for the nook, and because Amazon’s customer service was awesome to me: Purchased in print from B&N: Total for the year: 369!

I got paid!
And I still have room on the nook (although I’m getting close to needing a memory card for the thing)! So y’all should be able to guess what that means. Yes, that’s right: another book roundup!

The only acceptable use for DRM
I’d been aware for some time that a lot of libraries had embraced the ability to check out ebooks, but not until this weekend did I get around to actually trying it.

One more book update
I’m not sure yet if this is the last round of B&N freebies; the promotion was supposed to run up through the 14th, so I’m thinking there’ll be at least one more round before they’re done. This one I’m particularly happy about though since it includes King Solomon’s Mines, a novel that’s specifically called out…

Book update!
I came to the decision that since I’d violated my New Books Hiatus by buying that antho (although I still excuse myself for that on the grounds of Special Circumstances, and also, supporting ), I am therefore delaying buying new books at least for a few more days even though the Hiatus is technically over!…

What’s this? Oh yes, more books!
This is yet another round of freebies downloaded from Barnes and Noble. Most of these are the latest round of classics available, but the Kowal story I happened to find while doing a search to see if her new novel was available on the ebook store yet. “First Flight”, a short story by Mary Robinette…

How to get around a New Book Buying Hiatus
Download free ebooks, of course! First up, Kay Kenyon has a book currently available for free on the Kindle: Bright of the Sky, the first book of her Entire and the Rose quartet. I am not a Kindle owner, but I do have the Kindle app on my iPhone, so I figured what the heck,…
