New Arrivals! May 10 2009


In ye olde mailbox:
The Lost Hours by Karen White
Face of Betrayal by Lis Wiehl
Men with Balls by Drew Magary (my husband can't say the title without snickering... it's embarrassing)
The Turnaround by George Pelecanos
Made in the USA by Billie Letts
Ruby's Slippers by Leanna Ellis (somehow ended up with a second copy. I'm thinking maybe giveaway in the near future.)
Your Best Birth by Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein
Afraid by Jack Kilborn
Altogether, a pretty darn good week!

I went to the library with the best intentions of just dropping off my books and leaving, the better to make a dent in my to-read pile this week, but I saw a few things I just couldn't resist. It's a sickness. Pity me.
Wake by Lisa McMann
The Abhorsen Chronicles by Garth Nix (all three in one volume- it's MASSIVE)
The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister

Are you going to have time to do much else this week? Lol! Enjoy, you got a great bunch of books this week.

Angie said...

It looks like you had a great mail day. I love the cover on The Lost Hours. Sometimes I read books based just on the cover (although that usually turns out to be a mistake).

I understand what you mean about the book sickness: I currently have 220 books in my regular to-read stack, and 40 in my library to-read stack. I can't seem to help it, it's a force beyond my control.
