Filling the Shelf – 26
Filling the Shelf is basically Mailbox Monday (this month hosted by Rose City Reader) or In my Mailbox (created by The Story Siren ), but with a title that suits my blog 😀 If you’re interested in joining the fun or seeing what other bloggers added to their shelves, I invite you to visit those two awesome features!
It’s been a long while since I’ve participated in this, and of course I bought many books since. But, I am proud to report that I bought a lot less than usual, which is good news for me since I haven’t been reading this much lately.
This week, it’s more of a virtual mailbox, since those are the books I bought for my eReader in the last couple of weeks. And they’re almost the only books i got this month. One day, I’ll vanquish that TBR pile!
Left Neglected by Lisa Genova : Y’all know how much I loved Still Alice, a haunting novel that made the top of my “Best of 2010” list. I’m thrilled to finally have her second novel, though I fear that I’ll be disappointed. Can Genova work her magic twice?
Unbearable Lightness by Portia de Rossi : It’s really rare that I read celebrities’ memoirs, but this one really interested me – mostly because it’s not an “how I became famous” story, and also because eating disorders (and other mental illnesses) have always appealed to me.
Arranged by Catherine McKenzie : In 2010, I read the author’s first novel, Spin. Can you believe I haven’t posted my review yet? It’s a shame, since it’s all written, and all it needs is to be put in the review form (as is the case with most of my not-yet-published 2010 reviews). Anyway, I really enjoyed Spin, enough that I bought Arranged as soon as I could.
Firespell by Chloe Neill : The first in a YA paranormal series. I read good things on this one.
Which books did you get your hands on recently? Have you read any of these books and authors?
I really really REALLY want to read Firespell. Too bad I can’t get my hands on a printed review copy, and that I don’t have an ereader. Grrrr. I heard so many good things about the novel! Here’s my Mailbox Monday for the week.
I would like to read the memoirs of Portia de Rossi very much. Will wait for your review.
You’ve done well on book shopping, only 4 books is a major accomplishment. Hope you like them all.
I am so intrigued by Left Neglected, so I’ll be anxious to know what you think of it.
Great books Kay; Left Neglected will be a must read for me. enjoy
Very full mailbox for you this week –enjoy!
Left Neglected and Unbearable Lightness are on my wish list…Arranged looks good, too. Enjoy them all!
My Mailbox had e-books, too; my shelves are toppling!
Here’s mine:

I hope to hear Unbearable Lightness is good from you. I’m interested but have taken a break from my celeb memoirs.

Great mailbox, I was eyeing that Portia De Rossi book myself. Happy reading 🙂
What great books!! Every single one of them looks and sounds fabulous! Enjoy and have a great week!
Left Neglected is high on my list of books that I MUST read this year! Enjoy!
Looks like you got some great ebooks. I didn’t know Portia de Rossi wrote a book. Sounds like it might be a really interesting one. Happy Reading. Here’s my Mailbox! ~ Wendi
They look good! It is always so easy to add to the TBR pile, isn’t it?
Thanks for participating in Mailbox Monday!
