Bookstore Trip
I should not be let loose in a bookstore...really I should not. I went out to Borders yesterday to grab two books the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
emocezi recommended to me. And since I had two coupons I wanted to use them...um 80 some dollars later I walked out.
On the plus side? I saved almost 28 dollars...but seriously...do not let me go into a bookstore people. I wasn't supposed to go until I finished Writo de Mayo.
Oh image heavy below the cut...I wanted to share the covers with y'all.
So anyway, the books I got:
First the twoemocezi recc'ed to me:
Generation Kill by Evan Wright
Night Stalkers by Michael J. Durant and Steven Hartov
And then I started wandering:
River Marked by Patricia Briggs
The Native Star by M.K. Hobson
Green-Eyed Demon by Jaye Wells (this is book 3 of a series--I have the other two and have almost finished them)
Horse Soldiers by Doug Stanton (this was my steal--it was on the bargain rack for 2.99)
Write Starts by Hal Zina Bennett
Plot vs Character by Jeff Gerke
*sighs* And now I need to go get dressed and go shopping again since I didn't get everything done yesterday.

I like her books. She's quirky and a pretty decent read. I inadvertently read book 2 first, but it was good enough that I've gone back to book one and am about halfway through so I figured I'd pick up three while I was out.
I like Briggs and so far unlike a lot of other writers in that...genre for lack of a better word, she hasn't slide into the churning out books. I'd rather wait a bit longer for a good book than get one every other month. I've given up on Hamilton, lost interest in Charlene Harris really fast, and there's a couple others I don't read anymore because they just seem to be writing them to get the credits or whatever.
