You have an enormous pile there. I'd love to think what you think of Indu Sunderesan's book. I have read two of her books and found them really good.
ReplyDeleteWowy-zowy, you did even better than I did this week! Enjoy all your new books!
ReplyDeleteWow...your mailbox was overflowing with goodness. I think that half price store would be the death of my checkbook!
ReplyDeleteWow -- you have an amazing stack out there! The Splendor of Silence looks pretty interesting.
ReplyDeleteGreat pile of books. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWow! You had a great week and some awesome books. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteSo many great books! I find the cover of Tender Morsels very pretty. I'm going to look it up in a bit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and for "warning" me how "Wicked" can be adored as much as hated.
Happy Reading! =)
Awesome week for books!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the Libba Bray series. I hope you do too.
ReplyDeleteI loved For the King and was heartbroken by Dracula in Love (it just crashed and burned at the end!). Amazing haul -- you landed some great books!
