Filling the Shelf – 90

Posted by on February 11, 2013 1:18 am in Book talk | 9 comments

Filling the Shelf is basically Mailbox Monday or the more recent Stacking the Shelves, 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 the two hosts!

 

Happy Monday readers!

The mailbox saw more action this week (eh!) but I read so little. We received a bit of bad news (nothing tragic, just very unfortunate!) and I had a really hard time keeping my mind on the words. I hope this week will be better for the reading, though I’m really happy with the books I received this week!

Someday, Someday, Maybe by Lauren Graham (Got this one for review. I’m an absolute fan of Lauren Graham as an actress; I can’t wait to see what she has in store has an author!)

The Smart One by Jennifer Close  (Also for review! This one is about family dynamics and sibling rivalry. Had a hard time with a similarly themed book recently, so I do hope this one will be different!)

What the Dead Know  and To the Power of Three by Laura Lippman (I’ve been recommended Laura Lippman many times. Recently, I was at the bookstore and saw a French translation of To the Power of Three. It sounded like something my mom would enjoy, so I thought I’d give it a try to see if both of us would appreciate reading.)

What did you add to your shelves recently? Have you read one of these books?

  1. Now I’m curious about The Smart One. I hope you enjoy it!

  2. The covers on these are terrific; hoping the stories match. Enjoy

  3. Yeah, it’s hard to focus when you’re distracted – I feel like I’m that way most of the time these days. Enjoy your new books!

  4. I’m curious about Some Day. Great mailbox this week. I’m sorry about your bad news. That can definitely be distracting.

  5. I’m enamored with each of these covers.

  6. I really love Laura Lippman, and have loved the three novels that I have read from her. I am so glad you will be reading these and giving feedback. It’s always interesting to see a book you love from another person’s perspective. Enjoy these!

  7. Whoa — I definitely didn’t know that Lauren Graham has penned a book! Must be on the lookout for that one — I was a devoted “Gilmore Girls” fan, so I’ll pretty much follow her anywhere!

  8. Paragraph writing is also a fun, if you be familiar with after that you can write if not
    it is difficult to write.
