Toronto bookhaul from two trips: TCAF 2015, and the "from Bakka via moving truck!" splurge
I finally got all of the books I bought in Toronto this spring entered into my spreadsheet! For anyone who's curious, here are the lists. ^_^
At TCAF, I picked up:
The Fangirl's Guide to the Galaxy: A Handbook for Girl Geeks. Maggs, Sam
Lover's Leap: The Tale of Jane Riley. Adams, Leisl
Nimona. Stevenson, Noelle
Seanan McGuire's InCryptid: The Price Family Field Guide. Bing, Kory. (Postcard book of 24 critters from The Price Family Field Guide on Seanan's site.)
a softer world: truth and beauty bombs. horne, emily and Joey comeau
Tokyo Demons 2. Sentar, Lianne
And then there was the trip to Bakka-Phoenix, AKA my very favorite bookstore, AKA a store I'd love to support more than airline weight restrictions usually allow for. This trip involved Ginny's moving truck. And so.
As you'll see, I picked up all the books from The United States of Asgard despite never having read anything by Tessa Gratton before. This is a combination of having had her recced to me by a couple of people and the fact that Chris, the manager at Bakka, explained the publication situation to me and I decided to just nab them all rather than risk buying the first one or two, falling in love, and then not being able to acquire the third and the book of short stories/novellas (I don't remember exactly what it is ^^;).
Bakka acquisitions:
Across a Star-Swept Sea. Peterfreund, Diana*
The Apple Throne. Gratton, Tessa
Archivist Wasp. Kornher-Stace, Nicole
The Awesome. Darrows, Eva
The Birthgrave. Lee, Tanith
Broken Monsters. Beukes, Lauren
Chasing Shadows. Avasthi, Swati**
Defiant. Sumner-Smith, Karina
Echopraxia. Watts, Peter ***
An Ember in the Ashes. Tahir, Sabaa
The Fever. Abbott, Megan
The Fire Sermon. Haig, Francesca
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. North, Clare
The Gracekeepers. Logan, Kirsty
The Grass King's Concubine. Sperring, Kari
Half Bad. Green, Sally
Hild. Griffith, Nicola
Living With Ghosts. Sperring, Kari
The Lost Sun. Gratton, Tessa
Magonia. Headley, Maria Dahvana
Mechanique: A Tale of the Circus Tresaulti. Valentine, Genevieve
Pen Pal. Forrest, Francesca
Seraphina. Hartman, Rachel
Shadow Gate. Elliott, Kate
Shadows. McKinley, Robin
Spirit Gate. Elliott, Kate
Station Eleven. St. John Mandel, Emily
The Strange Maid. Gratton, Tessa
Traitors' Gate. Elliott, Kate
The Water Knife. Bacigalupi, Paolo
The Weight of Stars. Gratton, Tessa
What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions. Munroe, Randall***
The Winner's Curse. Rutkoski, Marie
The Wrath and the Dawn. Ahdieh, Renee
The Young Elites. Lu, Marie
*There are a couple of other second books in the list, but they're all books where I already have the preceding book (whether I've already read the preceding book is another matter). This is the only one I picked up accidentally, so now I need to get a copy of the first one.
**Okay, technically I bought this one on sale at a normal bookstore, but no point giving it a whole separate category, and it still came home from Toronto.
***These are actually
scruloose's books, although I'm interested in both. He also picked up Bone #1: Out from Boneville.
