Yet more freebie ebooks
The latest drop of free classics from B&N, plus one extra freebie I picked up from them for the heck of it: The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson, by, well, Emily Dickinson! Maggie: A Girl of the Streets and Other Writings About New York, by Stephen Crane Sentimental Education, by Gustave Flaubert The Life of…

Official new book hiatus
I am as of this post on official No Buying New Books hiatus through the end of August. This includes buying replacement electronic copies of stuff I have previously owned in print. Basically, there are two reasons for this. One is that my beloved and I will be a bit short on rent in the…

Yeah yeah yeah raise your hand if you’re surprised
I got more ebooks. 😉 Though in this particular case, aside from the previously promised new Temeraire novel, all of these are actually replacing print books I’d previously owned. So there’s not much actual gain on the To Read shelves–and the hiatus of buying brand new books is still kind of on. Anyhow, here’s the…

Yet more books, and also, stats in Calibre
I promise to post about something else as soon as I do this latest book roundup, I swear. 😉 Picked up in print: Red Hood’s Revenge, by (Jim Hines). Fantasy. The latest in his Princess series, which came out just as I was finishing book 2, and I am now working my way through this…

The latest book roundup
Because I’ve picked up quite a few more books, like, y’know, I do. Picked up in print: Idlewild, by Nick Sagan, which I got when Third Place was having a used books sale last weekend. SF. Ammonite, by Nicola Griffith. I follow her via the Outer Alliance, and was pleased to discover that she’s got…

WordPress geekery (and also books) for the win
I’ve been playing around with WordPress 3 for the last few days, as y’all might have guessed from a previous post. I am pleased to report that with some help from the folks on the wordpress.org support forums, I’ve successfully set up a mini-network of blogs all based off of annathepiper.org. More importantly, I’ve learned…

Yet more books
More books, all electronic! Brains: A Zombie Memoir, by Robin Becker. Because you all know how I love me some zombies, and I have in fact already read this one, since it’s a fast, quick read. This is another one that does the schtick of “point of view of a sentient zombie”, but this time,…

A few hours have gone by, so
It must be time for another Book Roundup! Purchased or acquired lately by me: Pure Blood, by (Caitlin Kittredge), Book 2 of her Nocturne City series. Urban fantasy. Re-purchased in print even though I’d tried to re-buy her books in electronic form, because apparently this is the only book of that series not available on…

Book buy roundup
Right then, yet another book round-uppie thingie: Demon Hunts, by (C.E. Murphy), in both print AND ebook because Kit is just that awesome. Since this was two separate purchases, I will in fact be counting this book twice for tally purposes! Urban fantasy, book 5 of the Walker Papers. The Enchantment Emporium, by (Tanya Huff),…

Weekend book roundup
Fictionwise apparently can still get my attention if they have a big enough sale. They have a 40% off thing going on since it’s their anniversary now, and this weekend in particular they’ve also got a 5% off thing going on. So I grabbed ebook versions of Hal Duncan’s Vellum and Ink, as well as…
