My good friend this year has been goodreads, which allows me to keep track of books I have read and rated, even commented on, so I don't always feel the need to post a full page review on my blog. Goodreads can announce your books read on facebook too.
I have just read the two excellent books by Wiley Cash, sent courtesy of William Morrow -
This Dark Road to Mercy and A Land More Kind Than Home, both of which I rated a 5/5 on goodreads. I learned more about the rural North Carolina setting from these literary novels which also read a little like thrillers.
New books in the mail?
What are you reading these days?
Harvee, I'm about to start a new book, The Pact. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteInherit the Word looks deliciously cozy...and I'm also curious about Under Magnolia. Hope you have a fabulous week, and thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! I hope you enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteCheck out our STS.

Just realized this morning that Laura Lippman has a new book. I've been reading so many glowing reviews of Wliey Cash books lately!
ReplyDeleteLooks like an interesting bunch of books. In particular A Burnable Book looks good. I followed the link on Goodreads and the plot sounds right up my ally. It also has a great title!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading! If you'd like, you can stop by my STS
ReplyDeleteDave Barry's book looks hilarious! I may have to track that one down. :) And I think A Burnable Book sounds like a good historical fiction. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd love to read that Dave Barry book. He's always laugh-out-loud funny. The rest of your books look good, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading a historical mystery set in the Elizabethan era, P. F. Chisolm's An Air of Treason. Next up is either Sara Larson's Defy, or Jennifer Nielsen's The Shadow Throne, which I'm really eager to read.
You definitely have some interesting books to read. Looking forward to your thoughts on them. I've just finished Texas Hold 'Em by Christie Craig.
ReplyDeleteNice books. I want to read the Wiley Cash one.
ReplyDeleteLooks like some good reading. I hope Dave Barry makes you laugh!

It looks like you have some good books. I haven't decided on what to read next. I'll see what our book club pick is tomorrow. We missed our meeting last week, due to snow. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteReviewing puts so much pressure. I have started to write very short reviews.
ReplyDeleteWiley Cash's book was very good.
ReplyDeleteENJOY your week...thanks for sharing.

My It's Monday, What Are You Reading
I have This Dark Road To Mercy in my review pile too. I'm already getting behind on my reading for this year and it's only the second month. Goodreads is great for keeping track of books and for writing those shorter reivews, something I'm doing more of lately.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good haul for the week! :) Hope you enjoy reading them!

What would we do without Goodreads?
ReplyDeleteUnder Magnolia and A Burnable Book caught my eye. Enjoy!
