The month of June was a long one, in which NOT A SINGLE BOOK WAS READ. Seriously. How does that even happen in my world?
As a result, I have amassed a large LARGE stack of novels that have been given/loaned to me over the past two months. Then, there are also the books that were recommended to me that I just HAD to check out from the library immediately.
(Overdue fines are just extra funding for our poor libraries, right?)
I thought I might do a Book Haul, as they call it in the book blogging world, to show y’all just what has been prancing around my mind (and decorating my nightstand/entertainment center/bookshelves/dining room table…) the last few weeks.
Machine of Death |
By far the weirdest and most intriguing addition to my bookshelves was this find hiding on my Goodread’s To-Read list. Short stories. Sci-Fi. Based on a comic strip…
You’ll see that book review coming up soon. And it’s a good one.
The Winter Sea |
On the other side of the spectrum, The Winter Sea by Susanna Kersley was loaned to me by Simone. Adult Fiction, in a very “meta” way about an author who is writing a book.
It’s already fueling my need to travel to Scotland.
Memoirs of a Geisha |
Ever since watching the movie in high school, I have had this book on my To-Read list. I’ve probably checked it out from the library on 3 separate occasions, but this time, I WILL READ IT.
Sarah’s Key |
This novel has been recommended to me (over and over and over again) by my mom. Funny enough, even though my mom has excellent taste in novels (and is a librarian, for goodness sakes!), I don’t often read her recommendations. However, I’ve been seeing this book pop up on many, many lists, and I think this one will break the cycle!
Other Novels:
Echoes |
Escape from Camp 14 |
Dewey |
Across the Universe |
