I haven’t gone on such wonderful buying sprees this week, but I did go to two different libraries (go on, guess how many library cards I have). So it is not particularly a small haul, all the same. And I did get some books — my partner spoils me.
Ebooks
I readĀ GracelingĀ a few years ago, and liked it well enough, but I wasn’t bowled over. I’m going to give Kristin Cashore another chance, evidently; my ex-housemate Ru will be pleased with me.Ā The Language of Spells was a somewhat random choice, whileĀ Fair GameĀ is necessary for me to read last week’s review copy ofĀ Fair Play.
Review copies
I tried to have restraint this week, see?
Library books
More Heyer, which surprises no one; I keep meaning to read Sarah Addison Allen and since I’ve misplacedĀ Garden Spells, I may as well start there; archaeology! paleontology! and… Matt Fraction. My usual hectic mix.
What’s everyone else been up to?
The Graceling was good. I’m quite contented even with not reading the other books in the series because I’m scared it might not be as good as the first. Great haul! Enjoy your new reads!
I wasn’t that impressed the first time I read it, but I may have been being contrary. I’m going to try again, anyway. Thanks for commenting!
Graceling wasn’t to my taste either but I do love the covers for the rest of the series. I also like the cover for Unborn so I might look that up later. Enjoy your books!
Yeaaah, the cover is what caught my eye with Unborn — I’ve barely read the summary!
I Love Sarah’s writing. Her books are amazibg. I think you’ll enjoy it. Great haul TFS
Ooh, good to know. Thanks!
The Graceling books are in my top 10 favorites! What a great haul!

Yeah, I know a lot of people really love them. I’m looking forward to trying Graceling again.
Graceling was okay? It just didn’t grab me.
But I found Fortune’s Pawn on sale, so I have been reading that, and omgs so good. š
Yeah, I had the same.
Ooh, enjoy.
So much awesomeness here! Happy reading and I hope you’ll enjoy them all! š
