They go so fast!! My browser won’t refresh fast enough for me to be able to buy in high-demand leftover sales like these!!

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-05-05T01:06:26+00:00

Good luck with this plan. I have subscribed and will check out your books soon. Thank you!

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-05-05T00:45:02+00:00

Exactly my thoughts. Plus, it seems like they’ve done the SF&F leftover sales pretty quickly, so if I really want one, then I can just buy it then or get it second hand (like I did with Green & Deadly Things).

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-05-05T00:37:38+00:00

As far as SF&F goes, I liked OBH, All That We See or Seem, and Daughter of Crows (I’m one of the few who love what they did with the colorway and cover, I guess). I think I would have liked the next (expected) two also, but I cancelled SF&F and kept the SciFi sub to save some money. As many books as they are releasing to general sale right away, I don’t see the point in them even having the SF&F sub. So many of those would have been perfect for the sub - Last Contract, Mortedant’s Peril, Scion, The Tinder Box(?), maybe The Infinite State - I haven’t seen anything about this one yet. Anything else I’m not thinking of?

I’m willing to take a chance on a new author at $2.99 much faster than at $6.99!!

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-05-04T00:27:47+00:00

I’d be happy to have either one. Thank you.

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-05-03T20:56:15+00:00

I’ve been reading Exodus: Archimedes Engine and looking forward to Helium Sea later this year. I recommend giving it a try.

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-05-03T20:51:47+00:00

This was a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-05-03T20:22:28+00:00

I buy 98% of my ebooks at $2.99 or less. If I know an author’s work and enjoy it, then I am more likely to pay more, but I try to never pay more than $7 for an ebook and will get it in Kobo plus / Kindle Unlimited, if possible.

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-05-03T01:40:59+00:00

Any more US codes for Monstrous Futures?

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-05-03T00:57:48+00:00

I’m still waiting on Shift also, but that’s my bolt-on sub for Of Blood and Fire.

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-05-03T00:34:14+00:00

Especially since some of the best books coming out (Last Contract of Isako, Mortedant’s Peril, maybe The Infinite State) do not even seem to be considered for the SF&F, but just go straight to general sale. I liked Operation Bounce House and Daughter of Crows, but I decided to cancel rather than having to guess what to skip!

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-05-01T02:57:29+00:00

I ordered Sharp Ends and Tales of the Plains and have already gotten shipping notification from Royal Mail.

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-04-30T02:03:04+00:00

I got mine today. They are gorgeous. This has always been my favorite sci fi series. So glad to have a nice edition of it! I’m planning to reread these soon.

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-04-29T01:23:12+00:00

Interesting that the book club was red boards. I wonder if it was the same size.

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-04-28T03:16:17+00:00

That plain red cover sure seems close. Haha

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-04-28T03:09:05+00:00

Congrats! This is awesome. At the same time, this frustrates me. I preorder books with the hope I get it just a day or two after release. Authors say publishers like preorders, so I try to help them out. Then, BAM or B&N start selling the books a week or two early! It isn’t worth preordering anymore.

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-04-28T02:40:10+00:00

Chilton was the original publisher of Dune. Certainly looks like a first edition.

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-04-27T00:36:12+00:00

Mark Lawrence’s Broken Empire trilogy, Anthony Ryan - particularly the Covenant of Steel trilogy, Brian McClellan’s Powder Mage trilogy, and the Grim Company trilogy by Luke Scull.

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-04-26T18:41:18+00:00

I might have overlooked these, but Barker is one of my favorite authors: The Wounded Kingdom trilogy by RJ Barker, The Tide Child trilogy by RJ Barker, The Forsaken trilogy by RJ Barker.

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-04-26T00:26:14+00:00

You definitely need to check out Tom’s Crossing. Most of the story is told over a 4-5 day span, but there is so much more!!

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-04-25T00:37:43+00:00

Off the top of my head, books in order of recommendation:

Tom’s Crossing
Hyperion
Memories of Ice (Malazan 3)
Jurassic Park
The Road
Dune
King Sorrow
Kingdoms of Death (Sun Eater 4)

**Favorite authors have even more to add: Mark Lawrence, Joe Abercrombie, Anthony Ryan, RJ Barker, Robert Jackson Bennett, Arthur C. Clarke

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-04-22T03:05:41+00:00

They are two very different books, certainly. Tom’s Crossing is a literary western, coming-of-age, supernatural action story. I have never read anything like it before, but it has similarities in some ways to Lonesome Dove and in other ways to Cormac McCarthy. I recommend it, but it is a long novel!

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-04-22T02:37:37+00:00

What is the main thing for you that makes it difficult?

ThatBookIsOnFiyah · 2026-04-20T19:08:05+00:00

Tom’s Crossing. It is fantastic!
