Are you tired of hearing about my new books? It’s just that with gift books, coupons, gift cards, etc. I’ve been on a bit of a book binge lately. I like that. Anyway, as I mentioned I had some Barnes & Nobles gift cards and Borders Bucks to use as well so I got these treats.
- The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. After thoroughly enjoying The House at Riverton and reading so many good reviews of this book from you guys I couldn’t pass this one up.
- The Lies That Bind by Kate Carlisle. This is the third entry in the bibliophile mystery series which features a bookbinding sleuth. I don’t think I need to explain why this one would appeal to me right?
- Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger. I loved The Time Traveler’s Wife and just haven’t gotten around to reading anything else by her so this was one to get.
And, not a book but I was thrilled to get the new edition of Art Journaling magazine. It has a feature on LK Ludwig, which I’m excited to read as I took a class with LK at Journalfest a few years ago. I already noticed that some of the journals pictured in the magazine are journals I got to see in person. So cool.
I’m so excited to start all of them. Have you read these? Ok, tomorrow I promise to tell you about my current reads.
Finally, don’t forget that I’m announcing a winner for a journal and art pack kit on Friday. If you haven’t entered you can do so in this post. Good luck!
Now I really want The Lies that Bind 🙂
Her Fearful Symmetry was one of my first books that I read on my KOBO – loved it. I got a B&N card too and I am hoping to buy some magazines with it – the kind I wouldn’t normally spend $$ on.
I really enjoyed The House at Riverton as well – looking forward to hearing your thoughts on The Forgotten Garden.
I loved The House of Riverton too, but never got around to reading The Forgotten Garden. I do own it, so perhaps I need to give it a go.
I just bought The Distant Hours by Kate Morton. I read the House At Riverton which I loved initially but then loved less when my book club discussed it. A friend said such good things about this last one that I am going to give it a try.
veens – I can’t exactly say it’s my favorite series as I have some quibbles with some of the characters but I just love the idea of a bookbinder solving mysteries! 🙂
Juliann – I like to use gift cards for purchases I wouldn’t normally make either. In this case these I probably would have bought but it was nice to have a gift card for the magazine which is $15! A bit pricey.
Coffee and a Book Chick – Wasn’t it a great book? I’ve heard a lot of people recommend Forgotten Garden.
vivienne – I probably won’t read it right away as I like to have a bit of “space’ between the time I read the same authors but I’m glad I have it waiting for me 🙂
Nicole – Oh that’s happened to me too with book clubs! Granted sometimes it works the other way too so that’s good! Hope you’ll enjoy the book!
First off, I NEVER get sick of hearing about new books. Secondly, I just bought to of Kate Morton’s books last week. I have never read anything by her before but I have enough confidence that I will love her that I bought The House of Riverton and another one, the name of which escapes me but it could definitely be The Forgotton Garden. Finally, I just want to say that I loved Her Fearful Symmetry!
I read “The Forgotten Garden” this summer and loved it! Maybe I should pick up “House of Riverton”–I love it when I read a great book, and the author has a backlog of other greats, ready for immediate reading!
I love The Forgotten Garden. It is up there with one of my favorite books of all time. I am about to read her new novel, The Distant Hours.
Stephanie – I’m so glad to hear that 🙂 I saw some mixed reviews on Amazon (I know, can’t trust those!) but overall I think most book bloggers have enjoyed House at Riverton. I liked it a lot so I think you are in for a treat. Yay, glad to hear you loved Her Fearful Symmetry.
Jackie – Yes do! I thought some of the ending was a bit muddled, questions still there about the mystery, but still it was really a good story.
Lisa@ButteryBooks – I can’t wait to read her those books! I hope you’ll enjoy The Distant Hours.
I have new books to share as well thanks to gift cards, so I can relate. I do love hearing about new books, though, so never boring! I tried the Niffenegger, but it just didn’t click with me. I think I gave up too easily and might pick it up again sometime. Enjoy your new books!
I never get tired of hearing about new books!
happy reading 🙂
The Forgotten Garden was so good! I am looking forward to reading her other two books. I also plan to read Her Fearful Symmetry this year…
I just love gift cards and the possibility of what I will buy with them. I have a Barnes and Noble gift card burning a whole in my wallet right now!
