How did you like The Swan Thieves? I'm waiting for my audio to show up. You certainly have a lot of interesting looking books on your list. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteYour night stand must me huge!!! LOL I'm jealous of many of the ones you listed Sandra.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun list -- looking at all the different sources where you get your books!
ReplyDeleteThat list looks like it is keeping you busy! =D
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
I also really enjoyed The Swan Thieves- it was slow-paced, but really kept me interested.
ReplyDeleteYour list is WAY impressive!
Your nightstand is huge like mine!
ReplyDeleteHere is my nightstand
I can't wait to see what you think of the new Lionel Shriver!
ReplyDeleteI had to give STILL ALICE back before I got to listen to it--I've requested it again. I've read Lionel Shriver's We Need to Talk about Kevin, but not any of the others. Will you be reviewing The Land of Green Plums by Herta Müller? The title and the countries have me interested in it.
ReplyDeleteYou have such book goodness going on there...too much to just pick one!!!
ReplyDeleteI read The Swan Thieves last month and really liked it. You have some good ones to choose from.
ReplyDeleteI'm 3/4 of the way through listening to the Swan Thieves and am really enjoying the full cast format.
