Well, following on from the success of the past month cd purchases thread, I thought it would be nice to have a thread for us bookworms:cool:. (I believe this hasn't been done already, sorry if it has).

Anyway, here's mine:

A Game of Thrones - Book one of a Song of Fire and Ice.
The Gunslinger - Book one of the Dark Tower.

Ooo, I haven't really bought taht many books recently. I don't think. Well then

Harry Potter - Half Blood Prince (wait, that;s just over a month I think)
Chobits - vol. 1 and 2
Charmed - Between Worlds

I just get books from the library really.

I have actually bought quite a considerable amount of books this month actually, well last month but I'll include them as well! :p Well the ones I can remember.

Bridget Jones Diary The Edge of Reason
You Are What You Eat (because I'm on a diet mission) :p

I bought Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy last weekend. Read the first book, wasn't bad. Going to start book 2 this weekend.

I also purchased Eragon by Christopher Paolini. I've been told it's a great book. The sequel was released about a week ago.

More like two months ago...and downloaded...but yeah.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

And the book before I binged on Harry was:

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams

I bought Yes Man by Danny Wallace a while ago. Well I say bought. My brother got it and I nicked it off him. I think he's doing a TV series at the moment where he tries to makes his flat a country. It's on the same time as lost so I never see it though.

Anyhoo, I think it's a really interesting book. The basic premise of it is he realises he's been to negative so he decides to say yes to everything. So he ends up ordering stuff off the internet, taking leaflets from everyone, going to spain. If you like books by Dave Gorman you'll prbably like this too. :)

Hmm...interesting...

Thus far, including august:

The Fuck-Up by Arthur Neressian- s'pretty funny and good too!

The Horla by Guy de Maupassant- This is a series of three short stories comprising the characters descent into madness. Interesting because not long after the author himself was admitted to a mental asylum

Thats about it, am going to Barnes and Noble later...see what I can find. I need to get the new Orson Scott Card book, and I cant wait for Neil Gaimans new one.

New Spring (Wheel of time prequel) - Robert Jordan
Dragon Reborn (Book 3 of the wheel of time) - Robert Jordan
Pilliars of Creation (Book 7 of the sword of truth) - Terry Goodkind.

Co-Dependent No More by Melody Beattie
Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman

Anonymous - Go Ask Alice.

I bought it after reading about it here. I haven't finished it yet, but so far it's very good.

i bought:

The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. (thie big giant book)
and
White Oleander by Janet Finch....such a good movie too! the book soo far is good too!

I bought H.P Lovecrafts "Dreams of Terror and Death" a while ago, I haven't got around to reading it yet but I can't wait because his stuff is amazing.

The first three of The Chronicles of Narnia..........fascinating books! I'm going to get the other four sometime soon!

uhm.....
inkspell
chobits vol.5,6

i think thats it

violet & claire - francesca lia block [my favourite flb book <3]
echo - francesca lia block
wasteland - francesca lia block
the hanged man - francesca lia block
rose and the beast - francesca lia block
dangerous angels {the weetzie bat books} - francesca lia block
demon in my view - amelia atwater-rhodes

Yeah, Francesca Lia Block is my favourite author. >_>

Hm, I read an average of a book per month. I can read more if I find books that really catch my eye - I'm picky.

Last I've read or am reading are:
HP and T Half Blooded prince,
The Dark Mirror, by Julliet Marillier (a MUST read for people who like fantasy. IMHO, better than Marion ZB, though unfortunately, becoming a bit repetitive on how the story unfolds)
Hawkmistress, by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Eldest (sequel to Eragon).

Beginning.

I just bought Rebel Angels, by Libba Bray, and The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants, by Ann Brashares today.

Eldest-Christopher Paolini
Falcondance-Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
Inkspell-Cornelia Funke
High Rhulain-Brian Jacques
Wizards At War-Diane Duane

I'm also gonna get the Book #12 of Series of Unfortunate Events, which comes out October 18! Yay! :p

Dragon Rider- Cornelia Funke
Howl's Moving Castle- Diana Wynne Jones

I got Dragon Rider because Ms Funke is just a blow-you-away-with-one-puff writer, and it was translated to english wonderfully, it's amazing they didn't ruin it when translating.
And I saw an advertisement about Howl's Moving Castle as a film, and I wanted to read the book before I wanted to see the film. It was a good decision.:p

I feel so stupid, I'm having problems reading Eragon, I read in a few pages and got bored. And I don't feel like going back, it just didn't pull me in after the elves bit at the start.:rolleyes:

I've been been a bit boring I suppose, and bought things that I need for uni, plus a few books that I don't need at all:

The House by the Dvina by Eugenie Fraser (I'm addicted to it)
The Russian Revolution 1917-1921 by James D. White
The Penguin History of the USA by Hugh Brogan
The American West by Dee Brown
Nineteenth Century Britain 1815-1914 by Anthony Wood
The Persuit of History by John Tosh

Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman
I've been meaning to get that book for a long time. I keep forgetting about it.

The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil - George Saunders.
He's amazing, but this one is not my favorite things he's done.

I haven't bought anything letley but I borrowed this book called Go Ask Alice, I thought it was an amazing book. I just finished it. I think you guys should read it.

A million pieces by James Frey. Anybody who likes something a little screwed up, consider it.

I finally bought Dan Brown's Angels & Demons today.

I've been wanting to read that book ever since I got The Da Vinci Code.

^ I love it! :D

I don't use to buy books, I just get them from the library... but I did buy The Eight by Katherine Neville for like 8€! I wanted to re-read it, hehe.

Last Sunday, I bought Go Ask Alice. It's an annymous diary of a girl who gets mixed up in drugs and how her life spins out of control. It's very dark, but it's a good book.

welcome to college..it only gets worse in the spending from there

Well, I'm going to school pretty much for free, so if I'm only spending a thousand on a deposit and laptop with a couple hundred for books, I'm not complaining (13k/year scholarship and a 15k/year grant...I got lucky).

Oh I'm gettting that book, after I'm done reading the book I'm reading now. :read:

Stephen King is made of win.

I just bought a new Stephen King book myself, Lisey's Story. I still have to find some time to read it though. Stupid busy life and work and things.

On Friday we spent about $500 for school books. They're so damn expensive, it cost around $100 for my science textbook.

Stephen King is made of win.

Seriously. Stephen King ftw! I'm currently re-reading the seventh book in his Dark Tower series.

Seriously. Stephen King ftw! I'm currently re-reading the seventh book in his Dark Tower series.
I have yet to buy and read his Dark Tower series. I've heard they're really good though.

ooooh you should. The first book is just OK (in fact, I know a few people who stopped reading the series after the first), but the rest of the series is fantastic. The Dark Tower books are my absolute favorites.

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

yesterday I bought Stephen King's "IT". This will be my first SK book. I've heard of him a long time ago, and I've been meaning to read his books, but never found the time to do that. But now I have and I probally will start reading later.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Mmmm Stephen King books. *dies*
I bought "Lisey's Story" a little while ago. I'd have finished reading it ages ago, if I actually had time to read it. It's strange, and different, but definitely Stephen King.

Karin Slaughter's Blindsided
Holly Hill's Sugar Daddy

"God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything" by Christopher Hitchens. It's a really good book if you're an atheist. Or, if you're religious and you want to know how religion can be disproved!

everyone worth knowing- lauren weisberg.... i baught it to read on the plan flight and im so addicted to it its such a great read in a fashion, pr, socialite, celeb way. its the author who gave us the devil wears prada

The complete set of Jodi Picoult novels. *guilty pleasure, what can I say?*

Skeleton Crew and Night Shift both by Stephen King. I'm already done with Skeleton Crew and working on Night Shift. Love Stephen King. I bought The Ruins last month and finished it in three days, GREAT book.

Both Sepulchre and Labyrinth by Kate Mosse. I'd read Labyrinth before on a loan and loved it like a year ago, so I got Sepulchre pretty much without even reading the blurb, and it was awesome. I bought Labyrinth today. High time to re-read it...

Lol, I've been buying lots of manga lately... I'm now officially obsessed with Deathnote:D i got #2 and #3 of Deathnote, and then #2 of Nana... they're all awesome and I finished them all within a day of getting them:3
