Book Lovers Thread

Another good place to find books, new and used, for a good price is https://www.thriftbooks.com/.

They also sell music, movies/TV shows, and games. They have a free shipping option, and the delivery is fairly quick.

I was able to find the next three books of the Dresden Files series cheaper than they were from Amazon. I was expecting them next week, but they came today.

Between ThriftBooks, Amazon deals, and Bookbub, I'm all set now.

So you got physical copies of the those Dresden books? Were the first few that you started with digital or did you get reasonably priced physical copies?

Yeah. I got them in paperback, and they're the non-digital copies I've bought in the series. The prices for those copies were a good deal in comparison, but after those three the pricing is a out the same as the digital. I'll probably go with whichever is cheaper for the rest of the series on a book by book basis.
 
Well, I recently finished book 12 of the Dresden Series by Jim Butcher and just started book 13. It was obvious in book 12 some big changes were on the way, but I didn't expect what happened at the end. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.
 
Don't know if I asked this, so my apologizes if I did:

Has anyone school/college grades went up after reading books? I heard reading can boost up your GPA

Reading in general expands your mind overall IMO. As the saying goes "Reading is fundamental." Why do you think oppressors like to keep those they oppress ignorant & illiterate?

Stephen King Talks New Novel, Later

In the hands of Stephen King, the kids are usually all right – even if their situations always aren’t.

From Danny Torrance in “The Shining” to the Losers Club of “It,” the bestselling master of horror has written plenty of kid protagonists facing all sorts of terrifying foes over the decades. His latest, Jamie Conklin in the new novel “Later”, is a youngster who has to deal with enemies of the supernatural as well as human persuasion.

Jamie sees dead people, usually hanging out where they passed. And they not only can see him, too, but they have to tell him the truth if he asks them a question. His cash-strapped mom, Tia, and her dirty-cop girlfriend, Liz, take advantage of Jamie’s “gift,” but a more terrifying player emerges when Jamie meets a dead serial bomber inhabited by the darkness that chills the boy’s soul.

Don't know if there was a Book Recommendations thread, Now I'm not big on Horror Books, but this book caught my attention:

I might check this out. I wonder what our resident horror book lover would react.

I haven't read any of this series, but I do like the other things I've read by this author.

Does anyone read Self-Help books?

I don't recall what they were, but I have on occasion if the topic piqued my curiosity. Most of them though, the advice they offer should be taken with a grain of salt.
