Second purchase - The Tapestry of Fate by Shannon Chakraborty, the sequel to The Adventures of Amina Al Sirafi because ever since I heard there was a sequel, about 20 minutes ago in a different thread, I've wanted it.

you're welcome!

I think it's the same narrators and they were great!

I have CJ CHERRYH's FORTRESS IN THE EYE OF TIME on an ebook sale, and the other day I found FORTRESS OF EAGLES and FORTESS OF OWLS (books 2 and 3) hardcover, first editions at the used book store for $5 each.

I've not even started the first one, but that was a solid deal and with great condition 90's era fantasy covers? Sold.

Hamilton's The Helium Sea, book 2 of his Exodus duology. This book is heavy for how thick it is! And expensive too — list price is $35!

Blacktail by Scott Hawkins of Mount Char fame. If you didn't know it was out as of yesterday, now you do. I have a couple things to finish up before I get to it, but it's next in line.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

So I currently have a few Audible credits spare and I saw an offer on the app that was basically spend 3 credits and get £10 credit for it. Which is great! So I picked up 3 new audiobooks, and now have a tenner to spend on another one!

So I now have "The Spear Cuts Through Water" by Simon Jiminez, "This Kingdom will not Kill Me" by Ilona Andrews (dang it QT!) and also a pre-order of the non fiction book "Live Laugh Love: The Secret History of White Christian Women and the World they Made" by Kristin Kobes du Mez, the author of the scary and brilliant "Jesus and John Wayne". I expect once again to be angered and fascinated in equal measure by this one.

And I need a good one to spend £10 on!
