A couple more books arrived in the mail this week: Is Anybody Out There? edited by Nick Gevers and Marty Halpern (courtesy of Marty Halpern, who blogs at More Red Ink) and The Great Lover by Jill Dawson, which Sarah from Reading the Past kindly sent me (for some reason, I didn’t get a copy of this one in my Book Blogger Con swag bag).
I also went to my local library’s lawn sale (as they called it) with Tina (Bookshipper), which turned out to be a bit disappointing: the pickings were limited to two tablefulls of books. I still managed to grab three (for a total of $2!): The Listening Eye by Patricia Wentworth (sorry about the terrible cover image), Off Limits: Tales of Alien Sex edited by Ellen Datlow and The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. Plus Tina gave me The Truth about Delilah Blue by Tish Cohen.

ReplyDeleteThe Great Lover definitely looks good. Happy reading! My mailbox is at The Crowded Leaf.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover on The Great Lover. Looks like a good book. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteMy kids would have loved to have found Hugo Cabret. What a steal!
ReplyDeleteGreat books! I have Hugo Cabret in my "dying to read TBR pile" and can't wait to read it! Enjoy your goodies and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLove library lawn sales too! I'm always looking for books at great prices and nothing makes me happier than a bag filled with books.
ReplyDeleteNice Loot! Have a great time reading these books :)
Glad you found some good books at the library lawn sale.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny that even at a disappointing book sale, we can always find something...LOL
ReplyDeleteHugo Cabret is a great find! Enjoy!

Hugo is a fantastic book...the drawings are incredible. The one next to it looks good too..loving that cover! 2 tables...not good!!! But at least you found those right?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your latest acquisitions.
ReplyDeleteSad when a library book sale is bad with only 3 books! I've heard a lot of good stuff about the Hugo Cabret book but I haven't read it.
ReplyDeleteThe Great Lover looks like one of those old classics one would like to have permanently on your bookshelf!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new books. I always manage to find books, even with slime pickens...lol I keep seeing books by Tish Cohen but I've never read any of her books...will have to look into that.
ReplyDeleteYou made out like a bandit at the library sale! Those sales can be dangerous. ;) Enjoy your new books.
ReplyDeleteHugo Cabret!!!!! That's such a good book!
ReplyDeleteI have the Jill Dawson book ready to read as well. I think the cover image caught my attention, but when I found out it was about Rupert Brooke I had to have it. I used to have this weird literary crush on him! :)
