Amazon Raid

stoutfellowI just paid a visit to Amazon, for the first time since last November. I need some new light reading....
The big-ticket items were A Course in Combinatorics, by J. H. van Lint, and A History of the Spanish Language, by Ralph Penny. Between them, they cost over $110, but I've been wanting them for a while now.
Those are not light reading. On that front, we find: Steven Utley's The 400-Million-Year Itch (which was on my to-get list, but I have no idea how it got there); Blackout, the concluding volume of Mira Grant's "Newsflesh Trilogy"; volume 6 of Digger, by Ursula Vernon (and if you haven't yet read it, even on the web, shame on you! Go google!); Julia Spencer-Fleming's I Shall Not Want (I've fallen behind on the Fergusson/Van Alstyne mysteries); A Rising Thunder, yet another Honor Harrington story; the first volume of Fables, by Bill Willingham (he was nominated for a Graphic Novel Hugo in 2008, and I read a later volume then); and Born to Rule: Five Reigning Consorts by Julia Gelardi (recommended bydesert_vixen at some point in the past).
Should keep me occupied for the next while.
