A Bookish Day!

Today turned into a book day!

From the library I got:

I Was a Rat by Philip Pullman - Point for Nymeth!
The Polysyllabic Spree by Nick Hornby - FINALLY! I have been waiting so long for this book I can't remember who to blame... I had just decided to buy it, too!
The Yankee Years by Joe Torre & Tom Verducci - Curiousity... I am not a Yankees fan, but I love baseball! Bet you didn't know that!

On Tuesday I picked up:

The Garden of Eve by K.L. Going - Point for Debi, who hasn't even read it yet! (But, she should! I felt like I had read it before, but in any case, I really liked it!)

Then, in the mail I got:

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan - No points because when I ordered this, it was not even out yet... I think it got lost in the mail!
Burnt Shadows by Kamila Shamsie

And, then, I actually bought a book!
Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr - It is Heather's fault that I bought it instead of waiting for it to come in at the library!

  6. Ohmigosh, I did not know that you've never read Pratchett! I would pick up Mort or Guards! Guards! first. Those are quality :-) But most of them are! Let me know if you can fit it into your schedule :-)

  13. The Garden of Eve looks so good...and it looks like a fast read. Which means it would make a good book for read-a-thon, huh? Hope I can get to it! And I really, really hope you decide to join in!!!

  14. Carl: I imagine I will be requesting the second book very soon! It takes so long to come in, though...

    Nymeth: Thanks! I look forward to all of them!

    Stephanie: I am not sure... I haven't read Fragile Eternity yet. I'll try to read it this weekend and get back to you if you want!

    DesLily: lol. So true!

    Nicola: Yes, it looks really good!

    Debi: It is a nice, fast read! I hope you get to it on Saturday, too!
