What great books have you added to your wish list this week? Share your Friday Finds at Should Be Reading.Here are the books that made it onto my wish list this week:
I first heard of Sweeping Up Glass by Carolyn Wall on Gwen’s blog, Literary License, and then read Wendy’s review on her blog, Musings of a Bookish Kitty. An excerpt of the first chapter is available on the Random House site.
Cathy at Kittling: Books reviewed The Keeper of Secrets by Judith Cutler. Although she said “everything fell into place way too early,” it still sounds like a good read to me.
Eva at A Striped Armchair mentioned Snoop: What Your Stuff Says about You by Sam Gosling in her Library Loot post this week, which she had discovered from reading Bride of the Book God’s review.
Linda at Better with Books (another Montrealer!) reviewed The Introvert Advantage: How to Thrive in an Extrovert World by Marti Olsen Laney, which sounds like just the kind of book I need to read.
First Tina at Bookshipper reviewed What’s the Best You Can Do: First-Hand Recollections by a Second-Hand Bookseller by Derek Rowlinson, then Cindy at Cindy’s Love of Books reviewed it too. I’m hoping one of them will pass on their copy to me...
Finally, Amy at My Friend Amy reviewed Nothing But Ghosts by Beth Kephart and has launched a book drive (with prizes!) with the goal of selling 200 copies of this book by next Friday, July 3. Lenore at Presenting Lenore is helping with this effort and has also reviewed the book and interviewed the author.

"Snoop" sound interesting, although I'm not sure I agree with all of his conclusions. You really have some great finds there.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I have heard of Sweeping Up Glass and it sounds fantastic. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike with Nothing But Ghosts. Fabulous books this week. The Keeper of secrets looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI bought Nothing But Ghosts and can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteI have Sweeping Up Glass on my TBR pile...now you're making me feel like I need to move it up in the list!! Great Finds!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you've found a book you're interested in reading on my blog.
ReplyDeleteIf you like going to la grande bibliotheque nationale at Berri metro, you can snatch a copy of The Introvert Advantage there to read, unless you'd like to own a copy. That's where I read mine. There are more copies in French than there are in English. Good luck and enjoy the read! =)
These all look great...thanks for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteNothing but Ghosts sounds really good. Great finds this week.

Simply based on the cover and the title, I want to know more about Snoop! What that says about me, I don't know!
ReplyDeleteThe Keeper of Secrets sounds good to me.

ReplyDeleteThose all sound good, Avis. I hope you do get a chance to read Sweeping Up Glass!
ReplyDeleteNice, interesting collection.. happy reading :)
ReplyDeletei popped over to amy's blog and bought 'nothing but ghosts' through her link. i'm all in favor of supporting authors and i receive enough ARCs from publishers and should shell out some money to show my support. :)
ReplyDeleteI think the book about introverts sounds great -- I could definitely use that one!
