Good Books & Good Wine Update

In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren. It’s Monday What Are You Reading is hosted by One Person’s Journey Through A World of Books.

Received: Kind of for review, but I think more of as an award for making a silly goose of myself in this video.

Sea by Heidi R. Kling. I finished it and LOVED it.

Purchased:
Business Cards from UPrinting.com – Shanyn of Chick Loves Lit designed the card.
Two bookcases from the mart of wal.

I have been devouring books as of late. My review pile is down to two books. Here is what I have read from Sunday to today:


 Bird by Zetta Elliott,
Only One Year by Andrea Cheng
The Heart is Not a Size by Beth Kephart
The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok,
Alicia Afterimage by Lulu Delacre
Sea by Heidi R. Kling 


I am currently reading: Audrey, Wait by Robin Benway (love the style so far!)


I plan to read:
SPIRIT BOUND by RICHELLE MEAD
and then I threw out a general help me pick a book to read request on twitter and got tons of recommendations from books I already own. I am pretty sure I trust twitter recs, after reading The Knife of Never Letting Go — which was the first one recommended, I am going to travel on down the list. So this is a plan on reading on-going project:
I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak, Dewey: The Small Town Library Cat by Vicki Myron, The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult, A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Paper Towns by John Green, Along For The Ride by Sarah Dessen, Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder, Going Bovine by Libba Bray, Through A Glass Darkly by Karleen Koen, Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society, Franny And Zooey by JD Salinger, Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, Dreaming Anastacia by Joy Preble, Just One Wish by Jeanette Rallison, A Curse As Dark As Gold by something Bunce, Nobody’s Princess by Ester Friesner, Avalon High by Meg Cabot.




ALSO! GUYS! I am doing participating in a read-a-long of Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell. Allie at Literary Odyssey is hosting this.  I loved North and South, hopefully this is just as good, if not better. 


Finally, I have this contest going on, and it’s international and there are no extra entries, so if the books interest you, why not enter?

  1. I enjoy knowing that I recommended about half of that list to you.

    I am glad to hear that you enjoyed Sea. I am really looking forward to reading it.

    Spirit Bound is on my list for what I plan to read this week. I haven't done my Monday post yet but I know I won't be able to stop myself from ripping open that Amazon package and devouring the book.

    I look forward to your reviews of Girl in Translation, Sea, and The Heart is Not a Size.

    You have a great list of upcoming reads to pick from! I hope you have a great week.

    The Knife of Never Letting Go is a really good book. But if you begin reading it and you like it, I recommend getting the second book before you finish the first.

    Happy Reading!
