The Stories of our Lives

I was supposed to order on Thursday, but with the ultrasound Wenesday and a family gathering in Beauce (2 hours away) yesterday – terrible cold weather for August, with no coats packed, just our luck – I just remembered and got the time to hit the Amazon.ca pages. Here’s the final verdict:

“His Dark Material Yearling 3c Box Set”
Philip Pullman; Paperback
(Turned out slightly cheaper than getting the last two books separately.)

“Hyperion”
Dan Simmons; Mass Market Paperback

“The Time Traveler’s Wife”
Audrey Niffenegger; Paperback

“Widdershins”
Charles De Lint; Paperback

“The Black Company : The First Novel of The Black Company”
Glen Cook; Mass Market Paperback

Dropped “Jonathan Strange…” in favour of the Black Company novel. Both seemed interesting and I’ll probably go back to Clarke’s novel at some point, but its length put it off this time around. Dropped the Bourne Identity, too. It was way off range, and there were just too many other good options, so I decided to take that risk at another time.

By a happy coincidence, all of these items are marked “In stock”, so I expect the parcel to drop in my mailbox mid-week, or at least before next weekend. Yay!
