Book Haul – Week Ending October 16, 2022

For the week ending October 16th, 2022, I only picked up two new books. I know that I said I was not buying any books in October but I couldn’t pass these up! I promise to do better for the rest of the month.

1. The Way of Kings – By Brandon Sanderson

I actually own The Way of Kings in paperback, Audible, and Kindle editions but since I was late to the game in discovering this magnificent series, I’ve been having a difficult time collecting the earlier books in Hardcover. The first 3 books actually went out of stock everywhere recently so when I saw The Way of Kings pop up on Amazon for $20, I had to get it while I could! Now, I only need Words of Radiance and Oathbringer to complete the main books (then I need to buy the novellas…).

2. A Door into Evermoor – By Kent Wayne

I discovered the writer/author/blogger Kent Wayne by chance on WordPress while browsing one day recently and I think that his content is pretty fun and not at all part of the ordinary. He is passionate about his work, shamelessly plugs his stories, and writes some interesting (if not unusual) looking stuff. It’s not at all my preferred reading content but I want to see how his latest book turned out so I picked up A Door to Evermoor on Kindle for $2.99. If you have Kindle Unlimited, you can also read it for free there. I have yet to read it (it’s on the November TBR pile) but I wanted to help support Kent in his dreams of being an author. You can find Kent and his musings, book plugs, and funny writing over on his blog here. Fair warning: his content is not for kids, or most adults – there’s some NSFW stuff.

Not Buying Books in October?

That’s right, I’m not buying any more books in October. Which means keeping my wallet in my pocket when I go on bookstore adventures, and staying out of the thrift stores for two more weeks. How will I go on?? I’ve actually started a list of books that I plan to purchase beginning in November, which is getting concerningly lengthy. This lists now includes:

And that’s just new releases. I’ll probably pick up a few older books I’m collecting, as well as those pesky thrift store runs where I end up with many, many well-loved books. Nothing smells as good as an aged paperback!
