I usually read your blog really early ...Susan,<br /><br /> I usually read your blog really early in the morning, which apparently went against me this time, hehe. Not the most coherent then :) I'll look forward to future give-awaysA. N.

I would be jealous, but I'm reading some awesome books, too! (Though I think you've sold me on Broken, SL. Do let us know how it is.)<br /><br />One bit of bad news, April. I just mentioned that I was posting a review of READY PLAYER ONE on Wednesday--which I've just done. I'm afraid that I don't have a spare copy to give away. My own galley is looking rather "well-loved" right now. To be honest, when I mentioned that I would post it Wednesday, I'd forgotten that that is traditionally giveaway day. D'uh. Let's take a week off, as we sometimes do, and I'll give away something nice next Wednesday. In fact, sometime in the near future, I'll be giving away a copy of the best book I've read all year...Susan Tunishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17393038397678961337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354429728039534096.post-63743216769178815352011-08-10T05:21:43.642-07:002011-08-10T05:21:43.642-07:00April and I must be on the same wavelength. I just...April and I must be on the same wavelength. I just finished Ghost Story and just started Every Which Way But Dead. Hahahaha. I'm also reading The Last Werewolf by Glen Duncan about, literally, the last werewolf alive, written as a memoir of sorts while he awaits his inevitable murder. I like this writer's style. Just finished Hounded by Kevin Hearne. My latest library books are A Fistful of Charms, the next Hollows book, and Broken by Karin Fossum, which intrigued me with this on the flap: "A woman wakes up in the middle of the night. A strange man is in her bedroom. She lies there in silence, paralyzed with fear. The woman is an author and the man one of her characters, one in a long line who wait in her driveway for the time when she'll tell their stories. He is so desperately eager for his story to be told that he has resorted to breaking into her house and demanding that she begin."Sara Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257302421725766079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354429728039534096.post-84817614863657136612011-08-08T21:17:01.512-07:002011-08-08T21:17:01.512-07:00I just finished the audio of Tracy Chevalier's...I just finished the audio of Tracy Chevalier's Remarkable Creatures. Five stars all the way for me! Fantastic audio as well.<br /><br />Also, I finally finished Ovid's Metamorphoses. Very accessible translation by David Raeburn for Penguin. It was surprisingly easy to read and I truly did enjoy it. Four stars.<br /><br />I should have Susan Freinkel's highly enlightening non-fiction, Plastic, finished in a day or two. Another five star book for me.<br /><br />My current audio is Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five, current print read is Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford, and ebook to follow Plastic is Amor Towles' Rules of Civility.Saorse Eilidh Care Lykinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09961257179484971447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354429728039534096.post-21388630696554886842011-08-08T14:39:07.321-07:002011-08-08T14:39:07.321-07:00I'm still reading Dance with Dragons -- Full t...I'm still reading Dance with Dragons -- Full time job really cuts into my reading time! Anyhoo, I did pick up a few titles though. From a thrift store (one of my most favorite places to shop) I got Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides, Lucky You by Carl Hiaasen, and The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri. From Amazon, I picked up The Griff, Welcome to the Jungle (Dresden files graphic novel), The audiobook for Ghost Story (Dresden Files #13), Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, and Every Which Way But Dead (The Hollows, Book 3) by Kim Harrison. <br /><br />I'm glad that Ready Player One is this weeks Give-away. I'll definitely be putting in for that one.A. N. Loebickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331867223073548758noreply@blogger.com
