Hello all! Here in NC, we're coming to the end of Spring Break for all the kids, and what a beautiful week it's been! I've been spending more and more time outside with the puppy, and a little less time reading. Of course, I still brought home quite a few books from the library, and I've made some book purchases lately.
ARC for Review: Uprooted by Naomi Novik. This is a YA that's supposed to have a "Grimm fairy tales" feel to it.
Purchased: The Miniaturist by Jessi Burton, The Isle of the Lost by Melissa de la Cruz, A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by W. Phillip Keller, The Liberator by Alex Kershaw, and Beckon Me by Cindy Thomas. I've only read Beckon Me so far, but it was so so so good! Look for a review soon.
The Library: Washington Schlepped Here by Christopher Buckley, The Cast Iron Skillet Cookbook by Dominique DeVito, Five, Six, Seven, Nate! by Tim Federle, A Lifetime of Fiction by William Patrick Martin, Confessions: The Paris Mysteries by James Patterson with Maxine Paetro, Duck Commander Kitchen: Miss Kay by Kay Robertson with Chrys Howard, and Lonely Planet: Washington, DC by Karla Zimmerman with Regis St. Louis. I am a HUGE fan of the Confessions series by James Patterson, and really hope it continues beyond a trilogy; and the hubby and I are vacation planning, can't you tell?
What about you? What books did you bring home this week?

Oh, I'm jealous! I wanted Uprooted, but didn't get it. I hope it's good!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll enjoy all your new books, Marie! And it sounds like you had a wonderful spring-break - spending more time outside is always nice :)
ReplyDeleteThat Uprooted cover is so pretty compared to the UK edition!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading.
Your Spring Break sounds like it was wonderful. I need to go on a vacation. Plus you got some great books this week.

Ah... I see you stock up with new books before a vacation as I do. The James Patterson sounds good.
ReplyDeleteNice haul! Love the sound of Uprooted, so hope it lives up to its promise. Now that the weather is warmer, I've been reading on the porch while my dog sunbathes. Love Spring!
ReplyDeleteNice haul! Uprooted sounds wonderful, I can't wait to read it. Happy reading!

Oh nice! There are some new to me ones in this, but I am seeing the Melissa de la Cruz book a bit! I have to admit to being curious about that one! Sounds intriguing! Hope you enjoy all your lovely new reads!
ReplyDeleteMy STS will be up tomorrow, so be sure to stop by then!
Have a GREAT day!
