Part of the organizing that I meant to do today was to make room in the bookshelves for a few new books that I’ve received recently. Granted, I started looking at the books, looking through the TBR stacks, reminiscing about books I have read and before you know it, the day is gone and I still haven’t got quite as much done as I had hoped to do.

Oh well that’s how it goes sometimes but I am pretty excited about my new books though so let me tell you about those.

• Anatomy of A Boyfriend by Daria Snadowsky. This YA book is about Dominique’s first relationship and according to the book jacket it reveals the ecstasy and the agony of love, and everything in between. The book sounds great, I know Eva recently reviewed it as well and as if that weren’t enough, via the book’s web site you can also build your own boyfriend. Cute.
• Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler. I won this book via Naida’s recent giveaway. It is an Austen-inspired comedy, love story about a modern LA girl who wakes up as an Englishwoman in Austen’s time. This should be fun.
• Matrimony by Joshua Henkin. I was on a lucky streak because I got this via a giveaway too – at Tara’s blog. I’m so excited to read this book because I feel like I’m the last person who hasn’t done so. I’ve heard a lot of good things about this book.
• The Wasted Vigil by Nadeem Aslam. From the Publisher: The author of Maps for Lost Lovers gives us a new novel—at once lyrical and blistering—about war in our time, told through the lives of five people who come together in post-9/11 Afghanistan.

I guess tomorrow I’ll try to organize some more but I think it’s time I put aside some books to sell, donate and for BookMooch. Gotta make room for new books you know. So what new books have made it onto your shelves?

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I’ve been so busy with family visits and stuff that I’ve hardly opened up my books this weekend (gasp!) but today after I try to bring some order to our home, go grocery shopping and all of that, I plan to settle down with some good books. I’ve finished some, started others and have some new books to tell you about but I’ll save that for another day.

In the meantime, how about I tell you about the giveaway I have going on this week:

Author David Fuller’s novel, Sweetsmoke, has been receiving lots of attention since it was published this summer — it’s been chosen as one of the Barnes and Noble “Discover Great New Writers” pick and is also a Borders “Original Voices” pick. Here’s a bit from the author’s web site:
