skygiantsThere are many, many books I have been lusting over the past few weeks. First of all, it seems that late summer and fall is when all the sci-fi/fantasy sequels come out: Making Money; The Sons of Heaven, the conclusion to Kage Baker's Company series, which I have been following with extreme emotional attachment for five or six years now; The Fox, the sequel to Sherwood Smith's Inda, which I read recently and loved due to really spectacular worldbuilding; Red Seas Under Red Skies, the second in Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastards series, the first of which was a wacky fun crime-capers-go-high-fantasy read; and, of course, Empire of Ivory.
And then there is this. Which I saw when I was at the local Borders, where it is now one of the Featured Books, and OH DO I EVER WANT.
. . . but when I went to the bookstore today to buy the text I needed for class, what I emerged with was not any of these, but a vegetarian cookbook.
While I am living in a dorm that doesn't have a kitchen.
It was on sale, all right? *HUGS IT DEFENSIVELY*

Of course, you'll probably still buy the rest of the books you mention, but that's for another day. >.>

. . . I plead the fifth.
