INCOMING

    In between cursing my computer (which has been acting so wonky that I have not been able to post regularly) and cursing Blogspot (which is acting wonky probably because of the above) and my new printer (which isn't acting at all -- grrrr), I was actually able to do a bit of book shopping this week.  The ones listed below cost me a total of four bucks so that made me happy.  The fact that it took me fives times as long to get this list posted as it did to shop for the books made me much less so.

  • Patricia Briggs, Bone Crossed.  The fourth outing for shapeshifter/auto mechanic Mercy Thompson.
  • Graham Diamond, Cinnabar (Oriental fantasy) and The Beasts of Hades and The Falcon of Eden (fantasies, volumes 3 and 4 in the Adventures of the Empire Princess series).
  • J. T. Edson, The Fortune Hunters.  A Floating Outfit western.
  • Tabor Evans, Longarm #241:  Longarm and the Colorado Counterfeiters.  Adult western.
  • Colin Forbes, The Janus Man.  Spy novel.

  1. WHITE HOUSE HORRORS writes its own punchline. Have you read Payes Regency before? Only familiar with her sf. Sorry about the computer, but to paraphrase a bad film title, Blogspot can go wonky on its own...

    1. I've only read Payes' SF, Todd, but I thought I'd give this one a try.
