What a week, my cup runneth over! But I am so happy to pick up those spills! Two of the books coming into my house this week are random acts of kindness from fellow bloggers:
On Monday I received an email from Lori at Lori’s Reading Corner that I was the lucky winner in her drawing for Buy A Friend A Book Week. She sent me (via Amazon), a brand-spanking new copy of Stephenie Meyer’s The Host! Thank you, Lori! And check back here for my own BAFAB giveaway on the next round.
Monday’s mail brought Marie-Therese by Susan Nagel. from Marcia at The Printed Page. Marcia read my review of Abundance: A Novel of Marie Antoinette, and thought that I would enjoy this book about the daughter of Marie-Antoinette, and her life after the execution of her parents. Marcia, thank you for sharing this beautiful hardcover with me – I will offer it as a giveaway when I’m done with it!
I received J. J. Salem’s Tan Lines from the publisher, St. Martins Press. I haven’t yet begun it, but I’m looking forward to the book billed as “Hot. Sexy. Chic. The most sizzling read to ever hit the beach…”. The opening line of the book will draw you in, check out this hilarious YouTube clip of reader’s reactions to it.
I just finished Tan Lines — not my usual fare but I really enjoyed it! I hope to get my review up over the weekend.
I really enjoyed The Host – I hope you like it!
Ruth and Swapna – I’ll post my reviews after I read the books; I’ll look forward to reading yours and comparing notes!
Looking forward to your review of “maria terese”
