I had a couple of book boxes and packages show up recently and I’m very excited to share my new books with you. Here’s what I can’t wait to start:
- Painted Pages by Sarah Ahearn Bellemare. This is for crafty inspiration. I had a chance to look through it at the bookstore recently and I had to have it.
- Faithful Place by Tana French. Loved her two other books and although I wasn’t thrilled to hear who the main character is in this book I still think it’ll be a great read.
- This Burns My Heart by Samuel Park. This literary drama is set in South Korea in the 1960s and centers on Soo-Ja Choi, an ambitious young woman who finds herself trapped in an unhappy marriage.
- Lagan Love by Peter Murphy. A young painter from Toronto goes to Ireland to seek passion in her life and her art.
- The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley. I keep hearing how I must read something by this author and Sourcebooks very graciously sent me an ARC of her upcoming new book. Yay.
- In A Treacherous Court by Michelle Diener. Another ARC from Sourcebooks and this one is about an artist sent from Belgium to be Henry VIII’s personal illuminator inside the royal palace. I love a good historical and who can resist the Tudors.
I also got some new books from NetGalley but I’ll tell you about those later. I can’t wait to check out all of these. How about you, got a new book you are excited about?

I am so glad you got The Rose Garden! I love reading Susanna Kearsley’s books, and this is right up there with my favourites.
Happy reading, Iliana!
I love, love, love Tana French’s books! Can’t wait to hear what you’ll think of “Faithful Place”! 🙂
I have The Rose Garden, too, and it sounds fantastic. Enjoy all your new books!
I hope you enjoy all your reads! Happy reading 🙂
I was skeptical of Faithful Place too but it ended up being my favorite of French’s books thus far! She goes above and beyond in her character development in this one. In fact, it broke me out of a 4 month reading slump!
I am anxious to hear about the Tana French book. I have heard mixed reviews but I really enjoyed her earlier books.
Oh, Tana French. I still have to read her second book but I am delaying the gratification for as long as I can because I know it’s going to be good.
What a nice haul! I hope I’m not going to regret turning down Lagan Love!
I think you’ll be surprised with Tana French’s latest. Frank turns out to be a very likable character!
I still need to read the Tana French books!
I definitely need to read some Tana French! I’m sure I will love her.
