It seems all my holds are coming in slowly but surely. Two more books this weekend.

The Killing Way by Tony Hays

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

The Killing Way

The Pillars of the Earth

I’ve already finished The Killing Way (enjoyed it and hope to have a review up later this week) and glanced at the first few pages of The Pillars of the Earth which looks really interesting. A woman on the Metro saw me flipping through the book and told me that she just finished it and loved it.  What more can I ask for?!  Happy reading everyone.

As a side note, congratulations to everyone that participated in Dewey’s Read-a-Thon yesterday! I’m sure you’re all happy to be sleeping today. 🙂

The library has been more generous this week — I got three new books!

Haunting Bombay by Shilpa Agarwal

I’ve already finished The Magicians and think I Haunting Bombay will be next. Happy reading.

Only one book this week — We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. I’m looking forward to it and it promises to be a good read.

We Have Always Lives in the Castle

I still have 3 books on hold. In fact, these books have been on hold for a LONG time. I’ve been patiently waiting but now I keep adding books to my que just to see what will come through for me. I feel like I’m playing the lotto with the library right now.

Here’s what I am hoping to get, sometime in the next year I guess.

Cleopatra’s Daughter by Michelle Moran

The Killing Way by Tony Hays

The Magicians by Lev Grossman

Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

Maybe next week…maybe next year…

Three books this week. One is still on hold.

The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane

Enemy of God

Excalibur

The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe

Enemy of God by Bernard Cornwell

Excalibur by Bernard Cornwell

I’m looking forward to the Deliverance Dane novel and the Cornwell books are part of the Arthurian Challenge I’m participating in.

Now, time for a deep breath…looking at my TBR pile, I need to either stuff my head in a book or decide which books are really worth the time right now and shelve a few of the others that I can re-visit in the next few months. While I love going to the library and always come home excited with all my new unexplored finds, the next day I start wondering when I’m going to find time to read all these books. Maybe I’ll luck out and it will rain this weekend providing me with the perfect excuse to curl up in a chair and read.
