I haven’t been able to read much today because I’ve spent most of the day at work! On the bright side, I got paid, so it’s not all bad, and I can read tomorrow. I’ll be finishing up The Last Enchantment
by Mary Stewart tomorrow I think. It’s the third book in her Merlin trilogy, which moves a little too slowly for me, but I’m still enjoying it. I have no idea what’s on the agenda for me this week. I acquired 19 books this weekend, so I have a lot to choose from! Most of them are from my favorite used bookstore, about which I’m writing a guest post for She Is Too Fond of Books. Dawn is hosting a new feature over there spotlighting our favorite independent bookstores. I’m actually so ashamed of my nearly 200-strong TBR pile that I’ve yet to enter these new ones into LT. I probably shouldn’t be, considering I did buy/receive them in the mail, but there it is. I’ve never had so many unread books before!
Coming up this week: reviews of Months and Seasons
by Christopher Meeks, Guernica
by Dave Boling, and The 19th Wife: A Novel
by David Ebershoff. I’ll also be posting six quirky things about me, a meme that I was tagged for a little while ago. On top of all that, I will be announcing another contest! Have a great week, Saloners! I may not get to your posts until tomorrow, but I’ll be making the rounds.
Ooh, the 19th wife…I wanted to read that one, so I’m curious to see what you think about it!
I have several of the same books on my shelves (not *The Last Enchantment*, though). I really enjoyed *Months and Seasons*; I hadn’t read short stories for a while, but now I’m ready for more (and I have a few queued up to read in the next month, stay tuned …). I received Guernica over the weekend, and will probably start it after Labor Day. I’m doing a tour for TLC Book Tours with *The 19th Wife* in November – can’t wait to get into this one!
Lots of great books out there, it’s going to be a fun fall (cooler days/evenings give me the perfect excuse to snuggle in and read)
I was very impressed with Stewart’s THE CHRYSTAL CAVE back when I read it in high school (though I must admit that was the time I was impressed with my high school library in general). I am sad to say I have yet to read the rest of the series despite owning a few of them.
As for a TBR pile 200+ strong… firstly, that is an affliction many book lovers have. I may self and afflicted with that same malady. I am surprised I am even allowed inside a book store or library as I fairy ooze ‘book hoarder.’
Happy reading!
