I didn’t buy these, but it was a donated set of the Anne of Green Gables series and I work at the library they were donated at, they were waiting for me this morning in the breakroom, it’s an older set but at least they are complete and I can give away my ragged mismatched copies. Yah!! The lady who sorts through the donations will give me a book that is considered ‘damaged’ to me since she tries to sell the best looking ones off, last week I got The Fault in our Stars and it only had the dust jacket missing. This Anne set was not damaged at all but she knew I was a big fan and that I didn’t have a complete set so I got this. Cool!!
The latest books I bought were the second and third books in C.S. Pacat’s Captive Prince series, and my cousins bought me the Barnes & Noble exclusive edition of Amanda Lovelace’s The Princess Saves Herself In This One. The ones before that were The Quick and the Thread, Blood Rights, First Grave on the Right, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, Practical Magic, Murder on the Orient Express, Fade, Poison, and Ready Player One…I definitely don’t have a problem…
44 Scotland Street and The Right Attitude to Rain by Alexander McCall-Smith and The Shack and The C.S.Lewis Devotional Bible and The OneYear Bible New Testament NLT (New Living Translation) and The Power of a Praying Nation by Stormie Omartian
I was given The Fellowship Of The Ring after reading The Hobbit recently, and was then lucky enough to find Two Towers and Return Of The King at GoodWill, so I picked those up. Also found a hardcover copy of Misery for like $2 the other day, which was pretty awesome.
Too many but the ones I am most excited about are the abhorsen series books by Garth nix. A keeled Armstrong trilogy and the first two books in the queen of hearts trilogy.
I’ve tried not to buy books recently because I still have like 20 books to read that I bought previously but I just know that I’m gonna buy a 20 more for Christmas that will still have to also wait to be read

murder on Christmas eve. trying to limit my book buying til i’ve reduced some of my tbr pile. tbh its not gonna work, there’s too many books I wanna read
I keep telling myself not to buy anymore until I read at least some of the ones I already have that I haven’t touched yet… I’m not having much success with that. Is books anonymous a thing? Cuz I think I need it lol.
A couple of anthologies, one focused on gargoyles and one focused on “adventures in space”, and the first two books in Robert Jordan’s “Wheel of Time” decology….cause it’s long past time to re-read (and finally finish) that series!!
There was just a sale at our little local library…in the course of three days, I spent close to $20 and got close to 100 books. (Probably 60 were little kid books….as I have little kids.)
You’re fine. Haven’t started it yet. Kinda worried since it’s Co authored. I’m such a huge fan of her work and this book in particular. So I’m worried about reading it and hating it. Lol but I will eventually.
Huh….that has a sub-title, though: “The Passion of Cleopatra”, I don’t remember that from the book I read. And the one I read was by her alone, not with her son. Maybe it’s the development of an event or character from the original story? Is there any mention of an original “Ramses the Damned” from which this might have sprung? Maybe o
Aha! Turns out “Ramses the Damned” was not a sequel to “The Mummy”, it was the sub-title of “The Mummy” which came out in ’89, and the new one you got is, apparently, the sequel to it! This is one of my favorite websites: https://www.fantasticfiction.com/r/anne-rice/
I still stop buying books around mid-November every year, even though all my nearest and dearest have known for years to just give me a gift certificate cause I’ve probably already read whatever they might pick out!! ?
@Cheryl Thats how i am too and i also write out a list and give it to people who i exchange gifts with so they know what books i want lol Its a 3 page list lol

Oops! That was supposed to be a reply to your comment!
I loved “Ramses the Damned”! You are talking about the one by Anne Rice?
This is a sequel to the Mummy by Anne Rice. It’s brand new.
@Jessica, yes, it is a sequel to “The Mummy”, but no, it’s not new, I read it years ago! Maybe it’s a re-release?
No its not a re release. She just wrote it with her son Christopher.
The first one is the original which is an awesome book.
Sorry, @Jessica, my replies ended up in the main thread!
@Jessica, sorry again…. sorry it took me so long to realize that this is exactly what you were saying! ?
