I bought the Duane ebook bundle last year, too. I think there was one sort of fundraiser? Anyway, I haven't started them, partially because Mount Toberead is reaching Everest proportions and partially because I'm not sure about the order. Does anyone have a link to a series chronology, please?
I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be.
Buffy ,'Dirty Girls'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

SKULDUGGGERY!
But I am intending to read The Book Thief one of these days.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Hey. New board.
I like them all. Looking for Alaska is not the best John Green, but it was my first and I liked it. The Book Thief is brilliant. Skulduggery is pure fun. So... any of them?

Because books.
You people are no help. Or possibly too much help.
I think I'm going to finish Montmaray and then start The Book Thief.
We'll see, anyway.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Well, if you are interested, Duane is re-releasing an edited and updated set of the novels, which take into account advances in technology in the time since she started writing the series.
This is definitely of interest. I'll definitely have to look into them. Especially as ebooks, given the piles of literature currently threatening to bury me in the next big quake.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Mount Toberead
One day, I hope to summit it.
Even just the analog version. I can kinda hide the digital, the actual books taunt me.

I have been working on Mount Toberead and Mount Tobeshelved for the last several days, because the avalanches have been getting in the way of walking around.

Our wings are not tired.
I read that as Mount Toblerone. And now I crave delicious candy.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
I generally avoid WWII novels, for no clearly defined reason except I just... I don't know. I'm just not that into them. For this reason, I was super resistant to The Book Thief, but I ended up loving it. It's a wonderfully written book. (Also, I loved the Montmaray books and have passed them on multiple times).
