Caballein misain ye
I know you all want to know what books I brought today so here ya go:
American Gods - Neil Gaiman
The Earthsea Quartet - Ursual Le Guin
Knights Dawn - Kim Hunter
I had intended to get "Hero's Die" but they only had "Blade of Tyshalle" so I have to wait a few weeks while they order it. The bookstore was a nice little speciality scifi/fantasy place called PulpFiction. A great range of books that usually arn't available from aussie bookstores.
So what did you just buy???
Good god I speelt bought wrong:p .

Ah. American Gods. I really liked that one. Awesome book.
But as for buying books, I can only afford a few a month, so I get everything from the library.

-The Physician by N.Gordon

None of which are Fantasy so they probably don't apply but you asked :)

My birthday was in June and I received $65 in gift cards between two bookstores!!! From the first store I bought:
Kingdom of Cages by Zettel
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds
The Dark Glory War by Stackpole
From the second store I bought:
The Scar by China Mieville
Contacting Aliens by Brin & Lenagh
Obviously, this is the most books I've ever bought at once (and probably will be for many years). What made it even better was the first store had a really good sale going on. Before that I think the most books I bought at once was two.
Sorry, I realize that some of the books above aren't in the fantasy genre.

I'm trying not to buy books b/c I'm saving money for my wedding, but I just can't help myself.
Most recent purchases:
Summers at Castle Auburn by Sharon Shinn (for a book club). Very pathetic book imo.
The Waterborn by J. Gregory Keyes-- Very good writing, cool plot, unique world. I can't figure out why I can't get into it.
The Glasswright's Journeyman by Mindy L. Klasky--Bought it b/c I've read the others and want to like them. Haven't had a chance to open this one yet
