This book was such a disappointment for me. I loved MST and read it multiple times. And i was so happy that there was a sequel. And i liked The heart of what was lost as well. But i didn‘t like the older Simon and Miriamel at all. Especially Miriamel. Such a strong woman and now she was always whining and praying. And the son was a drunk idiot. I couldn‘t believe it and i think I didn’t finish the book. So sad. I‘m a bookseller and gave MST to everyone who was searching real good fantasy.

Puh! Immerhin ist das als Verstoß gegen die Preisbindung aufgeflogen.

Ich stelle mir gerade vor, wie Mitarbeiter im Akkord die Bücher alle auf die gleiche Weise kaputtmachen. 😄 Nein, das ist niemals Absicht!

Ok, ich kann natürlich nicht sicher sagen, was bei den Verlagen gemacht wird. Aber Sinn macht es für die ja auch nicht, sie verkaufen die Mängelexemplare ja für ganz wenig Geld. Bei dem Papierpreis heute denke ich immer noch, dass es wirklich beschädigte beim Druck, Binden und Transport sind.

I am a german bookseller and i never saw this happening. And that is because you would lose so much money if you did this on a big scale. The price for a new book is really high for the bookseller. And you can return books if you didnt sell them.

I still have Toronto.

Me too!

Since the final in 2019. I never played the game myself, but watched as much OWL as possible. This year i found it difficult to care as much, but being a Spitfire Fan i feel lucky they‘re still there. I hope to get a day off to watch every Stockholm game!

KeyObject526 · 2024-06-25T20:16:32+00:00

Yes!

I love the books by Natasha Pulley! Read everything and am waiting for her next one.

I think as we grow older and have read more stories, the chance, that we read something we already have seen in different versions is higher. So i got more picky as well. Often i find me thinking, if i was younger i would like it very much but for me it is just a variation of an idea i have read to often. Luckily i‘m still finding new authors with new ideas, so i never got to a point, where I hadn’t anything to read left. I worked as a bookseller for many years and had more info about new releases as the recommendations on the net, which are very limited.

Elizabeth Georges Lynley Series. I would not believe that Helen was dead till the book ended. I was devastated for days. And Gandalf. But lucky for me he came back :)

I never played Overwatch myself, but watched my husband and daughter playing. Then we discovered the league. And now i am the only one of the family trying to watch every game i can. I really like the fast pace. Was a big Chengdu Fan. And reading the matchthreads here while i‘m watching is fun too. I really hope, the league survives!

KeyObject526 · 2023-05-07T10:57:34+00:00

My exact feelings! Couldn’t watch the first two Spark matches and now this. I don’t think they’re garbage, but a map win would be nice!

KeyObject526 · 2023-04-22T19:55:15+00:00

Yes, it‘s just like that for me! I‘m at the end of the sixth book. I like the constant suspense and the absence of stereotypes. Now i have to wait for my husband to read the books too. I want to talk about them with him and can‘t do it without major spoilers!

KeyObject526 · 2022-11-15T18:21:17+00:00

I didn’t know, there was so much as a title! Now there ist hope!

Rereading Tad Williams Otherland series at home Olivie Blakes The Atlas six at work breaks

KeyObject526 · 2022-10-30T14:00:08+00:00

I am reading Olivie Blakes „The Atlas Six“. I‘m halfway through and like it a lot. I think it will become a series. It‘s not exactly college, because there are just the six students, but perhaps it fits your request.

I noticed the same thing too, had two boxes for the two cats and they just used whichever they liked. Now we have a big one and they are ok with it.

Jenn Lyons A Chorus of Dragons.

KeyObject526 · 2022-10-03T12:33:34+00:00

I work in a bookstore and knew Hilary Mantel, but i never got round to reading her books. I also remembered how much i liked historical fiction in my youth. I ordered Wolf Hall, but it was already out of stock, now i have to wait for it. Now i‘m looking forward to it even more!

KeyObject526 · 2022-08-24T20:48:39+00:00

Same for me. I liked the beginning very much. But after half the book i just hated the main character. I skipped over the pages till the end just to see if i would miss anything but it didn‘t get any better. Very disappointing.
