For my granddaughter, a reprint of a book my sons used as toddlers to learn their ABCs:
Gyo Fujikawa's A to Z Picture Book (reprinted 2010)
and
one for me,
one for me, 
, an historical mystery set in Cambridge, England, by Rebecca Stott (2007).While giving away some books to the library, I had to borrow one as well, of course:
The Lotus Eaters: A Novel
set in Vietnam, by Tatjana Soli (2010). Loved the cover and colors and I enjoy a good story. Think I'll stay home for a while, though, just to avoid bringing back more books :)

A librarian did a piece on NPR last week about her top "under the radar" picks and The Lotus Eaters was one of them. I thought it sounded good, so I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteCool! I've really had my eye on Lotus Eaters...enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteFun finds especially for your granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteI can NEVER go to a bookshop and walk out empty-handed. It just doesn't happen! My B&N is on automatic renewal, can you believe it? I'd hate to see the statistics on how much I spend each year... :) I'm interested to hear what you think of Ghostwalk. i read it last year and am still up in the air on my thoughts!
ReplyDeleteLotus Eaters is in my TBR stack...looks good! enjoy the books you got this week.
ReplyDeleteOh you picked up some goodies. Enjoy your books :)
ReplyDeleteGiving away makes me feel so good and then I feel like it's okay to acquire more. Not sure this is good, but glad I'm not alone ;)
