Another big week! I seem to be getting a lot of wishes granted on Paperbackswap as of late. Also I did a bit of splurging this week at a local UBS called Booked for the Season because the location in my hometown may have to close if they don't raise $2,000 by April 1st. I usually go to a different location but had to do my part to help this one out because I hate to see any locally owned bookstore close down. Also got a few more books for my Kindle because I saw some awesome deals I couldn't pass up.
From Paperbackswap:
- The Belly Dancer by DeAnna Cameron
- 1356 by Bernard Cornwell
- Lady of Ashes by Christine Trent
- Terra Incognita by Ruth Downie
- The Twelve Tribes of Hattie by Ayana Mathis
For Review:
- Cascade by Maryanne O'Hara (from Publisher)
- The Paris Architect by Charles Belfoure (from NetGalley)
- The Queen's Rivals by Brandy Purdy (for upcoming tour)
From Booked the Season:

- The Dark Monk by Oliver Potzsch
That's all for me. Have a good week everyone!
Very nice! I hope you like The Twelve Tribes of Hattie, I found it very emotional.
ReplyDeleteNice haul. I look forward to your thoughts on Lady of Ashes - fascinating subject + historical fiction + female protagonist = awesome (or so I have been told).
ReplyDeleteThat is a bunch of great looking books. I hope your Booked For The Season makes their goal. We have the same store that does great!
ReplyDeletesounds like good treats.
ReplyDeleteI have to say though that I was a bit disappointed by 1356, I thought the other books by Cornwell I read were better. here is my review: http://wordsandpeace.com/2013/01/08/book-review-1356-by-bernard-cornwell/
I also received cascade for review
What a fabulous haul of such mixed genres. Enjoy them all. Looking forward to your reviews/thoughts on them all.
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about Cascade. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI think the Bellydancer looks good. They don't have it at my library, so I have to start looking around for it. Great books.
