I love books, too much. I could never read all the books I have but keep buying more if they sound good...

Excellent Short Story

The Wolves of Sahlam (Star Sailor #1) - Chris   Fox

This was really a fantastic short story. I loved the writing and the concepts in the story. I am looking forward to read more by this author!

Books I Don't Need (But Bought Anyway)

— feeling grin

Went to the independent bookstore yesterday telling myself I would only buy ONE book or two at the most (famous last words). Ended up walking away with these:

 

Death of an Honest Man - M. C. Beaton

Of Books and Bagpipes - Paige Shelton

Lost Books and Old Bones - Paige Shelton

The Tourist - Olen Steinhauer

Last Star Burning - Caitlin Sangster

Arcanum Unbounded - Brandon Sanderson

The Lost Property Office - James R. Hannibal

New American Standard Bible

 

 

Ebooks purchased as well yesterday:

 

Publishable By Death by ACF Bookens  (what an awesome pen name!!)

Vor: Island of Power by Dean Wesley Smith (it was cheap)

Faith Alone by Martin Luther

 

Oh well, more to add to my TBR pile. 

 

Anyone Having Issues?

I am just wondering if anyone is having issues with entering a finish date on a book. I have tried many times over the past two days to enter a finish date on my audiobook "The Sacketts". Everytime I enter it and save it does not show up towards my goal. When I look back at it, I see that the "Finish date" has been deleted. I have tried changing the dates (even the start date to Januay 1, 2020).

 

Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

I Can Read But Not Count - Snakes & Ladders #6

— feeling ashamed

On my Snakes and Ladders update #5 I rolled six but moved myself up eight. How terribly embarrassing ;)

 

Needless to say, I did not read a book that was "Set in Africa". So I am going back two to square 24 and just rolling one die!

 

Dice Roller

You rolled 1 die:

6

Timestamp: 2019-09-04 14:46:13 UTC

 

So I am moving from 24 to square 30: Read a book in which "Someone Travels By Train". 

 

Will update on my choice!

 

Club Soccer 101 not in database

Hoping for some help entering a book to Booklikes. Every time in the past I have tried to add a book I end up giving up because I can't get all the information needed and do not have the time to fiddle.

 

I am trying to add the book:

 

Club Soccer 101

Luke Dempsey

978-0-393-34930-6

 

Cannot find AISN, etc.

 

Book is listed everywhere except Booklikes!

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Snakes & Ladders #5

You rolled 2 dice:

1 5

 

Moving from square 18 to land on square 26: Part of a series that is more than five books long. I am going to read Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card. Another book that has been on my shelf for ages.

Snakes & Ladders #4

Snakes & Ladders #4

 

You rolled 2 dice:

1 1

 

Landed on square 18. Set in a school.... took awhile to find one but am going to read Mrs. Pringle by Miss Read.

Snakes & Ladders #3

The Memory of Earth - Orson Scott Card

Was on square #13 and rolled two dice and got three and so am at square #16. Read a fantasy. I've chosen The Memory of Earth by Card as it has been on my shelf for years...

 

 

Fantastic Novel...

The Disappeared - Kristine Kathryn Rusch

First in my Snakes & Ladders read... and honestly, I rolled two sixes (I'm not lying!) so I'm at space 13. Have to read a book by a male author. Either Redliners by David Drake or For Us Humans by Steve Rzasa. This is fun!

Snakes & Ladders #1

The Disappeared - Kristine Kathryn Rusch

I decided to (finally) do the Snakes & Ladders book reading thing. Here is #1 (woman author).

Reading progress update: I've read 634 out of 1160 pages.

Shadow of Victory - David Weber

Some days I would rather hit myself with a brick than read this (oh wait, this book IS a brick). Why do I persevere?

Risen Novelization

Risen: The Novelization of the Major Motion Picture - Paul Aiello, Kevin Reynolds, Angela Elwell Hunt

What a great novel with such interesting personal perspectives on Jesus' resurrection from different characters. Excellent read and I so want to get the movie now...!

A Pleasant Surprise

From Garden To Grave (The Leafy Hollow Mysteries, #1) - Rickie Blair

A very well written cozy mystery. So enjoyable. Free on Kobo!

A Powerful Book

The Holiness Of God - R.C. Sproul

This is a powerful and vital book. A must read and so important for the church today. Amazing... if I could give this more stars I would!

Galactic Patrol - E.E. "Doc" Smith, John Clute
Best of the series yet, worth the read. Interesting early sci-fi.
