It's been a pretty quiet week for me reading/blog wise, as I've had a lot going on elsewhere. What have you been up to?
Nice haul! I cannot wait to start Coldest Girl, looks like such a good read.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
It does, although I read some comments from people who didn't love it that much. Still, I try to make up my own mind.

Whiskey Beach is on my wish list...enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHere's MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES
I'm amazed there are still Nora Roberts' books in my public library I haven't read, but I keep finding them!
DeleteSarah
Great haul Sarah! I hope you enjoy them all and Just in Case looks really fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading
My Haul: http://wwwthebookshelves.blogspot.com/2013/09/new-to-shelves-34-getting-off-slump.html
I thought Just in Case looked fun too. I've not read anything by Meg Rosoff before, but I have heard of her, so hoping for good things.

I've been so busy too and the weather has been unseasonably warm so it's hard to sit in reading! Have a good week :) My Sunday Post
ReplyDeleteI find sometimes it's difficult to read when there's so much else going on, but I hope to get back in the swing of things soon.

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is on my Showcase this week.I can't wait to read it. I've heard such brilliant reviews about it. Lovely haul.

Great haul. I wish my library had The Coldest Girl in Coldtown. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they're get it soon. *fingers crossed*

I have Daughter of Fortune on my shelf but I have absolutely no idea where it came from. Had completely forgotten about it until now but will get it out to see what it's like now! Enjoy all your books :)

I've heard lots of good stuff about Allende, and I have another of her books on my shelf already. Hopefully they'll both be good.
DeleteSarah
I want to read the Coldest Girl in Coldtown or listen to it. Enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSarah
Hopefully you enjoy The Coldest Girl.. I'm nervous about reading it! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo am I, mainly because of the reviews (good and bad) it's been getting. I'm trying to ignore them and make up my own mind.
DeleteSarah
I'd like to read The Coldest Girl In Coldtown! It looks really good; I haven't read anything by Holly Black but her books all look interesting. Thanks for stopping by my StS. :D
ReplyDeleteI haven't read anything by Black either, but the cover for this looks great!
DeleteSarah
I read How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff years ago and really loved it and I've been meaning to pick up something else by her since. Just in Case sounds good so I may just have to add that one to my to-read list :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, glad to hear you recommend her as a writer. I'll let you know how I get on with Just in Case.
DeleteSarah
The spine of Just In Case looks so pretty! I love those cute decorations on it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all your lovely books & thanks for stopping by my STS! (:
