Books!

Today was the first farmer's market day of the year. I was very excited. Unfortunately there were only four vendors, and only three that I could reasonably shop at (the fourth sold plants, which I almost always kill).

 

That was a bit of a bummer, so I did some used book shopping. Here's what I ended up with.

 

Gabriel's Ghost - Megan Sybil Baker,Linnea Sinclair  An Accidental Goddess - Megan Sybil Baker,Linnea Sinclair  The Color of Distance - Amy Thomson  

 

Gabriel's Ghost - Megan Sybil Baker,Linnea Sinclair and An Accidental Goddess - Megan Sybil Baker,Linnea Sinclair  - Getting An Accidental Goddess may have been a mistake, because I now see that it's the second book in a series (duology?).

 

The Color of Distance - Amy Thomson - First-contact SF. I included it in a read-alikes list a while back and remembered being intrigued by it.

 

The Girl With All the Gifts - M.R. Carey  Trial by Desire - Courtney Milan  Proof by Seduction - Courtney Milan  

 

The Girl With All the Gifts - M.R. Carey - I've been wanting read this for a while. Not that owning it means I'll get to it any sooner.

 

Trial by Desire - Courtney Milan and Proof by Seduction - Courtney Milan  - I really need to work on my Courtney Milan backlog. I own a lot of her works but haven't actually read very many of them.

 

Animist - Eve Forward 

 

Animist - Eve Forward - This one had me at "He embarks on a quest to acquire his Anim; the animal with which he will bond for life; an animal with which he'll share an empathic link that will allow him to detect and resist the use of magic."
