I did the same thing that I did last month. I actually did some recording at Sakura Khan in the Seattle back last weekend and on March 30th my intention was to record my March reads video at the convention and Just like last month. I forgot I just plain forgot. I was on the bus ride back Back here to where I'm staying And that was when I realized I did it again. I just plain forgot so I've spent the last week sleeping My health has been really terrible of the last few months The place I'm staying South of Seattle now. I've been here for a little over two months. I've had food poisoning twice It's been rough But but I did a lot of reading. I didn't buy a lot of books Well, I bought a small stack of books and I'm gonna show those to you now and I have some other Surprises for you to first of all almost all of the books that I bought in March came from The local libraries here 50 cent and a dollar books and I want to say again. I always say this when I bring up Buying books at libraries if you're not looking at your local library Looking at their thrift store or their gift shop or whatever they have You're making a mistake because there will be great deals there The two books that I did not buy at the library. I got In Seattle the last week of March when I visited a store called third place books and Apparently it's a famous local bookstore, but I had not heard of it and I was just walking down the street and I found it. That's how I have found the best bookstores, honestly I'm just walking down the street In the neighborhood or in town for some other reason and I decided to go look for bookstores And I always find great stuff. Okay, the two books I bought at third place books were this first one if the stars are gods by Gregory Benford and Gordon Eklund and I posted this picture and Becky Tells me it's a good book. So I guess I made a good find the other one was called the six fingers of time It's an anthology of classic science fiction at a great price. I couldn't pass it up I took a lot of pictures at third place books and I've and I have a whole collection of pictures that I need to put together Into a slideshow and upload for you all. I know you like those and here's a slideshow of the rest of the books I bought This past month at the library There's some paperbacks some hardbacks Books that you would have heard of What World War Z in the fifth wave? And Aragon so again stuff that I normally wouldn't buy But it was so Inexpensive why shouldn't I? Two of these books are nonfiction one of them called the beak of the Finch is a science book about evolution The other one is a collection of essays by Sarah vowel. I I noticed the book because of the name Sarah vowel so many People whose opinions I respect talk about how much they like Sarah vowels books But it wasn't until I looked at her picture on the back of the book that I realized I know who she is She's one of the funniest people on the planet Look up the name Sarah vowel on YouTube and look for her appearances on talk shows. She is Amazingly funny. She is also the voice of violet in the Incredibles Amazingly enough and then I did something I almost never do anymore. I found a local comic shop Nearby and I went in and I bought some comics those of you who have watched my odd comic series will recognize That title hillbilly I was very impressed with that one issue of hillbilly that I bought and I was waiting for the Graphic novel collection to come out and there it is I'm really looking forward to that The other interesting thing the surprise that I wanted to show you is the place that I'm living now most of the space is being used for storage and There are boxes of books and a couple of boxes in the living room I saw on the top were some classic science fiction. So I went digging in there and there was more Lots of classic basic stuff lots of Azamov lots of Clark Some Heinlen and then these vintage movie adaptations here some J. R. R. Tolkien some Ian Fleming The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy box set and this really interesting stack of anthologies These again are not my books But they they are going to allow me to read them. So As for books that I read in the month of March Just this past week I read binti by netty okara for I've been wanting to read this for a long time And it had to wait until I found a good deal on an e-book. It's Not a novel. It's barely a novella really just a short story, but man was it good great science fiction and Again it being netty okara for it has a very striking non-western Ethos to it. I also finished reading a leaf the unseen which I've mentioned a few times recently I'll be reviewing that I'm in the middle of reading a funny little Sci-fi fantasy from 1920 called the girl in the golden atom Funny little book. That's all I can say. I'll review it when I'm done and I'm most of the way through echoes of the well of souls Which is the first book in? Jack Chalker's 1990s sequel series to his 1970s Five book series called the well of souls. I know I read this back in the day when it came out Most of it doesn't seem familiar to me I'll definitely let you know and I downloaded a 19th century Maybe 18th century. I can't recall right now a utopian sci-fi novel called her land by Charlotte Perkins Gilman who wrote the yellow wallpaper? Which is one of the best horror stories of its day if you've not read the yellow wallpaper you should and that's about it as far as Books I do need to upload a number of Bookstore and library slideshows that I've that I've recorded and have not edited I need to edit and upload the interview. I did with Phil Folio The interview I did with Adam Hughes. Those would both be for my odd comics Series I need to edit and upload The material I shot at Emerald City and the stuff that I did last week at Sakura con there's so much material that I haven't got to Because I've been feeling so poorly. I'm definitely not going to be doing as many videos as I did Last month. Yeah, I'm not gonna go back to that Pace that I tried doing of a video every day. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. I Have recorded two more episodes of the 32nd half hour with the owner of Ada's technical books here in Seattle the first one of those will go up tomorrow and Then the next one the following Sunday and after that I should have more episodes of The 32nd half hour in the can So there's plenty of stuff coming.
