Filling the Shelf – 93

Posted by on March 11, 2013 2:09 am in Book talk | 7 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!

How was your reading week? Mine has been quite… unusual. I started reading a galley I had to put aside – not because it was bad, but because it was such a singular experience I knew I had to have my own paper copy before I read it from start to finish. Then, I started reading the French translation of Herman Koch’s The Dinner, and oh! What a book! It’s filled with horrible, horrible characters. I can’t stop reading it, and I sense I’ll probably have to write a review for it both in French and English (which hasn’t happened for a long time!)

But aside from reading, there are also new books on the Curio’s shelves! And even better : these were all  books from my wishlist, three of them found at reduced prices!

White Horse by Alex Adams (Non-YA post-apocalyptic novel.)

Hunger by Jackie Morse Kessler  (A young woman playing a huge part as a Horseman in the coming apocalypse. Interesting premise.)

Graveminder by Melissa Marr (This will be my first book my Melissa Marr, and I am very curious to discover this author so favored my some of my favorite bloggers!)

The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda (This is dystopia with vampires. This book has made it on and off my wishlist for a while, but reading a few pages of it at the store was all I needed to finally make the jump!)

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

  1. I’ve heard a lot about White Horse. I hope you love your new books!

  2. Oooo good stuff!

  3. I have Hunger on my wishlist and I’ve wanted to read for some time. It sounds very interesting and I like the cover.
    I wasn’t blown away with Graveminder but I liked it more than her other series. Happy reading!

  4. What a great week for you! White Horse is AMAZINGTASTIC! I can’t WAIT for the next one to come out. Zoe is an amazing character, love her! The Hunt is uber good too. I haven’t heard of Hunger, it sounds great – totally checking that one out! Graveminder has been on my wish list for awhile too!

    I hope you love all of them!

  5. I’ve heard good things about The Dinner. Glad you’re enjoying it! I’m curious about what book you had to pick up a paper copy of too!

    Enjoy all your new reads 🙂

    • Oh, I didn’t mean for that to be a mystery haha! 😀 It’s “A Tale for the Time Being”. My copy should arrive this week!

  6. Graveminder was a one of a kind book, and I loved it. The romance part got a little hokey, but the rest was just fabulous. I am also in the middle of White Horse on audio, it’s really rather terror inducing!
