I kind of went on a shopping spree this Friday. There was a pretty large book sale nearby, so I had a lot of fun there. Here's what I bought:
I've been eyeing this book for a while now, so I'm pretty excited to have found this boxed set for a very good price.
Another boxed set I bought. I don't really like the front covers, but the sides will look very pretty on my shelves.
I apologise for the Paramore poster on the background, this was the only place where the lighting was right.
The Shining by Stephen King
Well of Tears by Cecilia Dart-Thornton
This is how the hardcover looks without his jacket. The book is slightly damaged, but I decided to take it anyway. I'm currently reading an ARC of Shine by the same author, and I have to say I'm really impressed with her writing. Looking forward to read this one (:
I won this book in a giveaway hosted by the wonderful ladies over at Book Lovers Inc. Anyone know if this series is readable out of order? I've never read a book by Larissa Ione before.
The Colour Of Magic by Terry Pratchett

Great set! I've wanted to read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel for a long time.

I also have Jonathon Strange in my TBR pile although I like that yours is in three volumes. I have it in one paperback that is pushing 1000 pages and as such I always end up reading something a tad less daunting when picking out my next book to read.
I'm looking forward to your thoughts on Jonathan Strange... I started that book once a while back, and just couldn't get into it. It might just be that I wasn't in the right mood. I need someone to tell me to try it again.
@ Marc; Yeah, I was never sure if I wanted to commit to reading such a long book when there are so many other books I still have to read. I really like the three volumes (:
@ Annette; Well, if it's worth it, I'll make sure you pick up that book again! Its length is what scares me the most.
I read Shine a couple of weeks ago. So good! Enjoy!
