Just joined Audible.com and pre-ordered A Memory of Light. I've already pre-ordered the hardback as well but I really want to listen to this one. When I listen to audiobooks I become completely immersed in them and that's how I want to finish WoT off. I even told my wife I've got to go to the mountains and fly-fish at least twice next week so I can listen to it in complete serenity.

One last binge (hopefully) before going on a book-buying moratorium until I whittle down my to-be-read pile:

Helix by Eric Brown (one of my ALIENS! selections that Santa failed to bring me)

King's Dragon by Kate Elliot (you guys' fault for mentioning it and it sounded kind of awesome, so...)

Ring by Stephen Baxter

The Well of Stars by Robert Reed (I finished Marrow, another ALIENS! book, and enjoyed it, so I snatched up the sequel.)

And some bargain books I found:

Earthseed by Pamela Sargeant

The Dragon's Path by Daniel Abraham

The Season of Passage by Christopher Pike

The Eye of the World graphic novel

Nights of Villjamur by Mark Newton

Swan Song by Robert McCammon

Today I bought the last 3 books in Jack Campbell's "Lost Fleet" series, the Valiant, the Relentless and the Victorious.

I was supposed to wait until after new years, but apparently I'm a weak-willed man!

The last three in the FIRST series - next you've got Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier

Bought those yesterday...

I told you

meh. Link was dead :(

Wife has a $50 kindle gift card she's not using (and probably would never use) so I just downloaded The Stories of Ibis and Sharps. She'll never know.

What else should I buy? Just kidding. My amazon wish list is 32 strong and growing.

Just bought Lord of Chaos hardcover as well as A Memory of Light. Once they arrive I'll own the entire series, although I still need to buy A Crown of Swords and The Path of Daggers in hardcover.

uhm, that should be 'stuff.' My stiff is never nihilistic.

Shadow of a Dark Queen - Raymond E Feist
Mistress of the Empire - Raymond E Feist & Janny Wurts
Brian Ruckley - Winterbirth

and picked up in advance:

Heirs of the Blade - Adrian Tchaikovsky, I'm now a fan of Jon Sullivan's artwork, I'm also a fan of Raymond Swanland's Black Co artwork and Micheal Komarck's Anomander Rake and WoT's Knife of Dreams e-book cover,

forgot to mention, i also picked up in the 2nd hand bookstore the other day - Dune Messiah - Frank Herbert, hopefully i could read the original Dune trilogy this year,
I'm thinking of picking up the Gollancz SF Masterworks edition of Dune

Nice! The Empire series remains one of my favourites to date, and the first three books of the Serpentwar saga represent the last good Feist before he went shit.

I googled "future QT" to see what you're like. You appear to be clothed in some type of Tron-like armor with a sidearm. I would go easy on the insults, or you might come back and kick your own ass.

Me too. Read about 50 pages, jumped on here to brag, now back to work.

Yes well, like Shards of a Broken Crown, I tend to try and forget that book exists.

Hardcovers of A Crown of Swords, The Path of Daggers, and Orb, Sceptre, Throne.

Once the two Wheel of Time books arrive, I'll have a complete hardcover collection. I already own OST (and B&

on Kindle, but I like having hard copies of everything I own.

I still need to buy Crack'd Pot Trail, though. I think it's the only Malazan book that's been released in the US that I have yet to read (unless The Wurms of Blearmouth has come out over here, in which case I haven't read that either).

uhm, that should be 'stuff.' My stiff is never nihilistic.

U can get both Crack'd pot and Wurms on Amazon hardcover. Crack'd is like $15 for the TOR version, and wurms is $30 for the PS publishing one. Definitely get crack'd pot trail hardcover, it's pretty nice.

I got AMOL. Just finished it, after an entire day of reading. I'm...not sure how to feel about it.
