I got a real mix of books this week!
Bought: Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops by Jen Campbell. This is more of a non-fiction book, but I read the whole thing through last night, and it is so funny. But I know from experience of working at a library that people really do say stupid things.
For Review: Quicksilver by R.J Anderson. I don't know if this is a sequel or a companion novel to Ultraviolet, but either way I'm excited to read this one! This is due to be published in March 2013 (January in ebook fomat). Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for my review copy.
Gifted: Trapped by Kevin Hearne. This is book 5 in the Iron Druid Chronicles. Thanks so much to Lynsey at Narratively Speaking for sending me her unwanted copy.

Also, Best of the Bunch goes up on Friday.

I really need to start reading the Kevin Hearne series! They look like such fun - plus the covers have a hot guy on them...not that I'm shallow or anything.. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you haven't already read them Mel- they're exactly your sort of book. Plus the guy on the cover is definitely a bonus ;)
DeleteWeird Things Customers Say in Bookstores - sounds like a funny book. Hope you enjoy all your new reads :-)

Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops is great isn't it? I loved Ultraviolet and hope that Quicksilver is just as good! Enjoy your new books :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you like Quicksilver! I finished it last week and thought it was complete and utter brilliance. Just as good as Ultraviolet, if not more! And it's a companion to Ultraviolet, told from Tori's point of view. :) Great haul!
ReplyDeleteThanks Blythe! I loved Ultraviolet, so I was just so excited to see Quicksilver I barely looked to see what it was about!
DeleteO.o Trapped, I just bought book one of that series and hope to read before Christmas..LOL I love the Weird Things..and that would be a perfect book for the coffee table. Thanks for sharing and have a fantastic book filled week. The Sunday Post
ReplyDeleteThe Quicksilver cover reminds me of the Unearthly covers. I think it's the color and the font. Anyways hope you enjoy your books. My STS/Sunday Post

ReplyDeleteYaay for Quicksilver! I loved Ultravolet so much. I'm curious to see what you think of Trapped, I was just a tiny bit disappointed

I'd love to know the funny things people say in bookstores.
