This Week in Books...


Let me apologize in advance for the really long list of books this time around.

So, the books I received for the last two weeks...

This week I was very excited to receive Dragon House by John Shors. I've heard great things about Beneath a Marble Sky and after Trish's review of Beside a Burning Sea I can hardly wait. Sorry, I couldn't find cover art for this one yet.

I also couldn't resist posting the cover for Perfection because I think it is stunning.

No need to apologize for a long book list :)

I enjoy personal memoir, so PERFECTION looks great to me. My daughter to ok 20 BOY SUMMER off my desk to read/review before I had a chance to look at it! She's plowing right thru it ...

I can't wait to hear what you think of Inkdeath, The Traitor's Wife, and Dragon House. Dragon House especially, I really think Shors is a talented writer. Happy Reading!
