Felt like I hit the jackpot at Half Priced Books today when I found a brand new copy of A Dance with Dragons. :harhar:

Received my Fall River Press new cover version of TARZAN OF THE APES by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Nice cover art by Daryl Mandryk and again like the Mars Series, the inner art for the title page is subtle and nice. I'm loving these Fall River imprint titles.

Picked up Empire in Black and Gold by Tchaikovsky. Good read so far

Cold Commands is on my "buy" list too, but I think I'm going to see if I can find it in store...I'm sick of having to go to the post office after work.

amazon.ca and chapters/indigo are both saying December at best.

Nabbed the hardcover version of Butcher's Welcome to the Jungle graphic novel for $9 at Half Price Books today, which I'm pretty stoked about.

I also picked up Moorcock's Elric: In the Dream Realms, which means I now own all the odd-numbered collections in that series.

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

Sweet.
It's good fun. Perhaps not worth what you would have paid at full price, but at less than the softcover gn price, total score.

Indeed, which kind of sucks. I ordered mine from Amazon.com...thankfully I can order stuff sent to my work, so I don't have to trudge to the post office anymore.

I got Feist's _Wrath of a Mad God_, purely to finish off that trilogy as the library didn't have it. Don't judge me!

It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadays saying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and entirely true.

Am I the only one that thinks of the phrase "Original Sound Track" from that contraction?
Also, just bought Lord of Emperor's, second of Guy Gavriel Kay's Sarantine Mosaic.

Nope, every time someone posts about it in short form I think the same thing. LOL You're not alone.

The wait for DEATH Of KINGS by Bernard Cornwell is killing me, and I realized I never actually finished out the Warlord Chronicles (Arthur) by him, so I picked up EXCALIBUR today. Woot!

You'll probably enjoy that. Derfal makes a good Uhtred substitute.

It's funny how close they are to one another...I wonder if anyone ever looked into whether Derfel's descendants might end up being the Saxon's who own Bebbanburgh, AKA Uhtred's natural father. That would be pretty awesome.

The Blade Itself.

Rocking so far.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
