iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I foresee shelf space being an issue

Very nice, oh I see you have a better Delores Claiborne cover!

I've found a lot of the older stuff, where they would have been scanned in to digitize, have a lot of weird spelling errors

100

The one near me is pretty good. They just do $1 paperbacks, $2 hardcovers

120

Thanks I'll keep an eye out for these ones. The sci-fi section at the bookstore I go to is pretty small so it helps if I've got a few to check for. I'd only heard of 4 of these

100

I'll keep an eye out for this sort of thing. I usually just grab the books of authors I've heard of.

The ones near me are all filled with Colleen McCullough and Di Morrissey 🤮

He was a genius. I've just bumped this up on my tbr to right now

I've read Colour of Magic and Mort, but never Guards! Guards! so was happy to find that one

Thanks! I read mostly digital just due to convenience, but I discovered a nice little bookstore near me this year and it's been hard to stay away from it.

Google said it had explicit romance scenes but I flipped to the chapter it said had this and couldn't see any, so just thought I'd check if anyone read it.

Sorry but a primary ethical standard in documentary filmmaking is the no interference rule. Filming crews aren't allowed to alter things occurring naturally.

I think thats why I didn't get it. I just wasn't interested in the book.

Nice, I've read all Tolkien, heard of the Terry Brooks series, I've actually been checking at the used bookstore for the first in that series but never see it they always have some random book of his

Don't think I've ever read Patterson or seen these commercials but I might look them up now

Interested to see your fantasy recommendations

Ah ok, I'll keep an eye out for that other book. Thanks!

names can be changed.. I imagine I'd need to adopt a pirate name anyway

000

Oh if it's still there when I go back I'll pick that up. Thanks for the recommendation!

Might not be possible to keep the teeth. No more toothpaste according to the how to guide...

Contemplating career change... 💙📚 #booksky

Found this in the children's section at the thrift bookstore. Google says it's 18+... anyone read this? Is it suitable for teen? 💙📚🪐 #booksky #fantasy

loved this, in my top 5 for the year

They might have meant whenever, I've come across a lot of Americans that use it like that, so I think it's a thing over there... I corrected the first few and got confused looks so now I just let it go but it always stands out

000

Oh good recommendation. I actually read The Passage when it first came out and then must have forgotten by the time the next book came out and never continued with it

don't worry I regretted it, and it was gone when I went back

020

When I read this I had Philip Baker Hall's voice in my head for Mike Hammer and it was perfect. Envious of your paperback!

This is what I left on the shelf. Anything else I should have bought? sorry not a very clear photo...

Now I've promised myself I'll stay away from the used bookstore for at least one week. We'll see how I go... #thrifting
