Knit Two by Kate Jacobs is my first book swap through goodreads.
The Blue Orchard by Jackson Tyler is an unsolicited ARC.
The Opposite of Me by Sarah Pekkanen is something I requested from the author. It is her first novel. Sarah had visited my blog a few times and when I heard her book was coming out this spring I asked for a copy.
Miriam from Hachette did me a real solid this week. I received Deliver Us From Evil by David Baldacci, Exodus Quest by Will Adams and Men and Dogs by Katie Crouch.
What Are You Reading On Monday is hosted by Sheila at One Person's Journey Through Books.
I'm currently reading The Opposite of Me by first-time novelist Sarah Pekkanen, and really enjoying it. It's the story of fraternal twin sisters who have very different outlooks on life.
Brunonia Barry's The Lace Reader was lent to me by a friend. It was a little different from my usual genres, kind of a thriller, kind of an introspection into the main character's life, what she believes is true and what is really true.
Finished Watermark by first time author Vanitha Sankaran in one day. Obviously, If you like historical fiction about the middle ages, this one's for you. It will probably be on my Top 10 of 2010. I'll be reviewing it for a TLC book tour in May.
Ariana Franklin's Grave Goods on audio was excellent. I love the narrator, and I think I get the jokes hearing them better than reading it myself.
Are you reading anything good? Get anything new that you're excited to read?
Just read the first chapter of The Opposite of Me online and liked it. You are right, these memes/carnivals are bad for my wish lists!

I am engrossed in a series that I need to get through but have busy lately so I really haven't read as much as I should be.
ReplyDeleteWatermark sounds like a book I would like. Have a great reading week.
ReplyDeleteI just finished a cute book that's in a series, but duh me, I didn't read the previous ones first. It was called Circle of Quilters by Jennifer Chiaverini. It was such a cute book. Now I want to get the rest of the series!
ReplyDeleteJustine :o )
The Opposite of Me sounds very interesting. Ill have to watch for your review. I need to check out the Goodreads book swap. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI hear good things about Sarah Pekkinen. One of these days, I'll get to see for myself what I'm currently missing out on.
