In the past couple of weeks since I’ve updated my mailbox has been overflowing with lots of good stuff.
First came a postcard from Stefanie. Great message don’t you think? This postcard was also followed by a wonderful poster from Isabel. I am ready for National Poetry month – this poster is definitely going up on one of my studio walls.
I’ve ordered a couple of books: Gone Girl and Mr. Churchill’s Secretary. One is for an upcoming book group read.
Then, thank you to some generous publisher’s I’ve received the following ARCs:
- The Farm by Emily McKay
- The Love Child by Amanda Brookfield
- The Sound of One Hand Killing by Teresa Solana
- There Once Lived A Girl Who Seduced Her Sister’s Husband and He Hanged Himself by Ludmilla Petrushevskaya
- Queen Jezebel by Jean Plaidy
- The Mapmaker’s War by Ronlyn Domingue
- Oleander Girl by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
- Blood’s Pride by Evie Manieri
Whew… that’s a lot of great stuff in the mail isn’t it?
What else can I tell you… just been busy with work, recouping from a cold and trying to carve out time for crafting, reading and other adventures. I hope you are all well!
My copy of Gone Girl just arrived, I can’t wait to read it and see if that twist everyone is talking about is really that great! 🙂
I think you will love Gone Girl, in a sick and twisted way! Ha! And I just had to laugh at that one title about the sister’s husband!!!
Nice haul!
Glad you liked your postcard! It seems like you have taken it to heart! 🙂
Looks like you have some great books to look forward to. My bookclub read Gone Girl and loved it but I missed the meeting so haven’t read the book yet.
I am trying to get back to regular reading. I have a big report to finish about my internship and then maybe I can read two novels a month.
But, when I graduate in August, watch out! All the books on my TBR will gone by mid – 2014!
I’ve read both Gone Girl and Mr. C’s Secretary. LOVED Gone Girl, and even asked my psychiatrist-niece to analyze Amy, the main character. I want to meet the author. She has a very interesting mind! Hope you enjoy both books as much as I did.
Wow, lucky you. I am desperate to read ‘Gone Girl’ and see if all the hype is justified but there are so many reserves on it at my local library I don’t think I will be getting it anytime soon.
You certainly have a good selection to choose from, enjoy!
Ann interesting collection here – sounds like Gone Girl is worth looking out for. Thanks for mentioning it.
Gone Girl is a strangely fascinating tale, especially since you don’t know who to believe. I’m not a great fan of Mr. Churchill’s Secretary, but most people love it.
I did love The Farm! You have a lot to keep you busy!
