So first thing first, Naida gets my copy of The Cruelest Month by Louise Penny. I may be doing a bit more weeding of the shelves so hopefully I’ll have some more books to pass on to you guys.

In the meantime I’ve been in need of a good comfort read so tonight I’m planning to start The Uncommon Reader which most of you suggested after my post on my library finds. Thank you guys, I’m sure I’ll love it.

This will be a short post as I’ve been doing a fair bit of running around today and want to crawl into bed with my book but I just had to leave you with this bookmark. Isn’t it great? I want one.

Hope you are all having a great reading week and more book talk tomorrow.

So much for reading books from my bookshelf. I went to the library again over the weekend because I wanted to get some videos but who only goes to the library to get videos right? I actually had a good time wandering up and down the stacks and ended up checking out a few books.

The first one is The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett. I don’t think I even need to tell you what this one is about right? Everyone seems to love it and I hope I will too.

My other pick was A Trace of Smoke by Rebecca Cantrell which has gotten a lot of praise for being an atmospheric tale of suspense and murder.

The other find, which I hadn’t heard about before is The Possession of Mr. Cave by Matt Haig. A novel which focuses on the relationships between parents and teens.

Next up is The Scapegoat by Daphne Du Maurier. This is a tale of stolen identity and loaded with suspense. I really hope I can read this one before it’s due. Last year I read her novel My Cousin Rachel which I thoroughly enjoyed so I am hoping this will be just as good.

Finally I was intrigued by Girls of Riyadh by Rajaa Alsanea. This bestselling novel recounts forbidden details about the private lives of four young women from Saudi Arabia’s upper classes.

Have you read any of these? Which one should I start with first?
