Friday Finds is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. Here’s where you can find a list of books that caught my eye as I read the blogs, newspaper reviews, and … talked to strangers:
The Paper Bag Christmas by Kevin Alan Milne; read some great reviews at Booking Mama and BermudaOnion.
The Little Book by Selden Edwards. While waiting for Gregory Maguire’s event, I was
chatting with the man next to me (yes, I strike up conversations with strangers. I got that from my mother. Hi Mom!). He said this was one of his favorite books this year.
We Need to Talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver; there was an online book club this week over at Gayle’s Everyday I Write the Book Blog. Gayle calls it “one of most intense, disturbing, well-written, and deeply affecting books I have ever read.”
What books came into your radar this week? Have you read any of these three I listed?
I did love The Paper Bag Christmas. We Need to Talk about Kevin looks good to me too.
I’d really like to read We Need to Talk About Kevin one day. I’ve heard that it is a very good book.
Now I’m going to have to look on Amazon to see what the Little Book is about.
We need to talk about Kevin has been on my wishlist for a while and I would like to read Paper Bag Christmas. Maybe next year.
We Need To Talk About Kevin is really intense and really good. I picked it for my book club back in January.
