As usual I’ve been adding a lot of books to my radar after reading about them while I do my bloghopping. Here are my latest finds.
- I See You Everywhere by Julia Glass. I found this one on Matt’s blog. I’ve not read anything by Glass but I think I’d like this story.
- The Map Thief by Heather Terrell. I found this one over at Booklogged’s. It’s a story about an art-sleuth and spans six centuries and five continents – what a trip!
- The Haunted Doll’s House by M.R. Jones. This one ended up on my list after I read about it on Danielle’s blog. With Halloween right around the corner this sounds like it’d be the perfect book for a spooky read.
- Written in Blood by Sheila Lowe. Tanabata mentioned this book earlier this week. This one is a mystery with a sleuth who is a handwriting expert. Very cool.
- Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay. Devourer of Books recently mentioned this one and I think this sounds like a wonderful story.
- Girl in a Blue Dress by Gaynor Arnold. This one won’t make it to the States for quite a while but Katherine mentioned this one and it’s sounds like my kind of story. She’s doing a giveaway too so check it out.
And, there are many more I’ve added but I’ll save those for another post. Besides, tomorrow I’m planning to spend the afternoon at the bookstore so you can only imagine I’ll be filling up my notebook with more new-to-me titles.
What about you? What have you recently added to your wish list?

I enjoyed reading I See You Everywhere. It’s sophisticated chick lit! Now I’m curious about her last novel, The Whole World Over.
I also read about The Map Thief, which is on my acquisition list.
What a haul, Iliana! 🙂
All the books sounds intriguing to me; I’m most interested about The Haunted Doll’s House and Written in Blood so I’ll have to check them out.
Hope you’ve a great weekend! 🙂
Sarah’s Key really was very good. I may be giving it away in my 100th book review contest which will start, well, whenever I post my 100th book review (next week sometime). Only 2 more to go!
Glass’s Three Junes gets the most mention, but it’s the only thing I’ve read of hers. It was a good read, but nothing special. Enjoyable, but not too memorable. I did like the second section of the book though and I’ll eventually read something else by her.
I enjoyed Three Junes by Julia Glass when I read it a few years ago. I should read something else by her someday.
BTW, Written in Blood is apparently the second book in the series, in case you hadn’t realised. I usually like starting at the beginning but since I got it as a review copy I’ll just read it and if I like it, then I’ll go back to read the first one, Poison Pen.
These do sound good. Don’t you just love making these lists and thinking about all these books that you’d love to read even if you never get around to reading them? I know I do. I’m also in the mood to read some dark and spooky books. The weather is cooperating with me, as well. It’s been really rainy and windy lately. Perfect weather for a nice gothic story.
Matt – Sophisticated chick-lit? I love that! I think these types of books can be so entertaining and great for when you don’t know what kind of book to read but just know you want to be entertained by a good story. I’ll definitely look for it!
Melody – Oh, no, I haven’t gotten these – well, yet 🙂 I want them though. They sound interesting don’t they? Have a great weekend too!
Jen – That is great! I am still loving that pic you’ve got of all your books holding you hostage in your room 🙂 Will be checking out to see how you celebrate!
Mike B. – I have that book but didn’t get around to it when it seemed like it was so popular. I kind of lost a bit of interest in it but still plan on picking it up one of these days. how have you been by the way? Good seeing you! 🙂
tanabata – Oh, I didn’t notice that. Thanks for pointing that out – me, too. I prefer to read a series at the beginning. Just love to see how characters develop over time!
Lisa – Oh yes, I love making lists. Probably too why I join so many challenges – haha… Hope you have a wonderful weekend with the perfect weather for your spooky story 🙂
Some good choices once again. I love that “sophisticated” chick-lit, haha! I need to check out the links and read some more about these.
I’m glad to see MR James on your list–I think you’d like him. I also want to read the Arnold book and now you’ve tempted me by The Map Thief…I’m off to check it out.
I received an ARC of The Map Thief, but it annoyed me. I just posted a review last night of Written in Blood — I did enjoy that one!
I’ve got an ARC of Sarah’s Key that I found at my library and a copy of Written in Blood (from the author). Both look very good, but I haven’t gotten to them, yet. I’ve recently added too many to mention to my wish list. Blame Dewey. 🙂
