Oh yeah, I bought some books last night

It's getting closer and closer to the day I go on vacation, which means increasing amounts of travel anxiety and an increased desire to deal with it by buying books. I tried to channel it into just book browsing, but then I remembered that I got a bunch of gift cards for my birthday. And so there was book shopping last night.

 

Not counting the one bundle I decided to get, here's what I got (or will be getting, once the two paper books arrive in the mail):

 

Dreamhearth (The Dreamhealers Book 3) - M.C.A. Hogarth  City of Betrayal: An Isandor Novel: Volume 2 (City of Spires) - Claudie Arseneault  Loveless, Vol. 12 - Yun Kouga  

Tales of Sector General - James White 

 

Dreamhearth (The Dreamhealers Book 3) - M.C.A. Hogarth - Although Hogarth's pacing is often weird, possibly due to the fact that many of her works start off as serials, Jahir and Vasiht'h are my favorite characters of hers. I was thrilled to learn that her Dreamhealers Duology was going to be continued with a third book.

 

City of Betrayal: An Isandor Novel: Volume 2 (City of Spires) - Claudie Arseneault - I didn't read my ARC copy in time, but now I can read the published version with final edits. Here's hoping none of my favorite characters die!

 

Loveless, Vol. 12 - Yun Kouga - I've put so many years into this series that I can't not read this volume. So many messed up and/or unsettling characters. I really need to sit down and read and review the whole thing from start to...the point where it's currently stalled. Is Kouga ever going to finish this series?

 

Tales of Sector General - James White - The last few books/stories in the Sector General universe, including one from Prilicla's POV. I love Prilicla. So manipulative, and yet so likeable.
