I've been good this month with only three purchases over the whole month - and one of them was online - so that was very good.
The first book I purchased, I've had my eye on for a long time, 'Kick-Ass Writer: 1001 Ways To Write Great Fiction, Get Published & Earn Your Audience' by Chuck Wendig. Now I've had my eye on this book for over six months and really wanted it... so I thought to search it out on Amazon; but they wouldn't send it to me because I was outside America. Bummer! So, I looked at other sites which did on Amazon and found CherryBooks. They were in California - which meant it wouldn't take long to get here and the postage would be cheaper for me. Within the week, I received my second-hand copy of Chuck's book and was reading it.
Then, I went for weeks without buying any books - honestly I did! I looked through K-Mart where new books came out and walked through second-hand stores filled to the brim with books, but I just wasn't interested in any of them.
But I was out and about yesterday and drove to the Really Good Book Shop at Browns Plains and scored myself 'Labyrinth' by Kate Mosse and 'The Call of Cthulthu - and other stories' by H.P Lovecraft. Two great books by two great authors.
I've been meaning to get my nose into a Lovecraftian novel and pull myself out of this problematic slump I'm in, I think this book will do it.
So, what have you been getting into? Have you guys and gals bought anything this month newsworthy? Until my next post, happy reading!
