I hear you! Was wondering, though, is there a good library close by where you could borrow books, in lieu of buying them? When I do find one at the library, I read it, and then if it's something I think I would read again, I'll buy it. Or I search for them at my local used bookstore that has, so far, been a very good source - and cheap. The few I have purchased lately may be the extent of my buying spree, as I re-think how much I should spend. So I think it's back to the library for me.
But as soon as I started reading DF, I knew these were books that I would read again - and again - so I rushed out to grab all the books, and again, was lucky to find many at the used bookstore for a very reasonable price.
And then I had to purchase two DF coffee mugs online here (they offered a discount yesterday), and, well, no one twisted my arm, but the mugs aren't going to be around much longer, and I wanted to enjoy my morning coffee with Harry. LOL It's the little things in life that keep me happy. :)

The library in the county next to mine has a much better, bigger library, but being out-of-county I would have to pay a yearly fee for the privilege of using that one. Ugh. So I have to deal with a library that doesn't carry much, either. I don't have a Kindle, preferring to be old school and hold an actual book in my hands, and I haven't tried audio books. Guess I'm a bit old fashioned. :P
Well, must go. *rushes out into the real world that is screaming at me to get a move on...darn thing...always inteferring...*

I guess you can check out my list and I'll check out yours. I notice your list is mostly women, where mine is all men. I think I have this misconception that female writers are more into the UF/romance thing. Guess that may not be quite accurate.
And a shout out and thanks to you, The Deposed King, for recommending the Kate Daniels series. I will definitely check it out.
I'm gonna need a bigger bookcase...

Female versus male writers do have different strength and weaknesses. But IMO I don't think its as noticable in UF a say military Sci-Fi. At least it isn't, so long as the book isn't a paranormal romance in disguise!
Regardless Ilona Andrews is a husband/wife writing team. So they can nail the male/female character differences better and the Kate Daniels Series is definitely UF.
