Lots and Lots of Books
Given that my blog postings have been a bit hit or miss this month one thing that has piled up (along with book reviews I still need to finish!) are the ARCs. I’ve been very lucky to get some wonderful review copies in my mailbox and so let me just share those titles with you.
- Daughters-in-Law by Joanna Trollope
- The Paperbark Shoe by Golde Goldbloom
- The Stormchasers by Jenna Blum
- This Burns My Heart by Samuel Park
- The Civilized World by Susi Wyss
- Alice Bliss by Laura Harrington
- Minding Frankie by Maeve Binchy
- Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
- Miles From Ordinary by Carol Lynch Williams
- The Mermaid Garden by Santa Montefiore
- When You Were Mine by Elizabeth Noble
- Cleaning Nabokov’s House by Leslie Daniels
- Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente
- Lumen by Ben Pastor
- The Kitchen Daughter by Jael McHenry
- So Much Pretty by Cara Hoffman
- The Map of True Places by Brunonia Barry
I don’t even know where to begin. Let me know if you’ve read one of these and what you thought!

May 1st, 2011 at 10:55 pmOh my…looks like you have plenty of good reading in front of you. I haven’t read any of these but I think that you should pick up The Map of True Places. I read The Lace Reader by this author and really enjoyed it. Enjoy!

May 2nd, 2011 at 3:39 amI also have that Pastor novel, and I am looking forward to reading it. You have quite a stack there to keep you busy! I’m trying to stay away from AREs for a while–I am feeling quite behind in what I have already accumulated.
