I couldn't wait for a library copy of The Goldfinch, A Spool of Blue Thread, and The Girl on the Train so I went out and bought and read them right away in the last couple of months. I was not disappointed. My most recent purchase is All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doers; the waiting list at the library was well over 100! These days I want to read not just for a good plot but for good or excellent writing!

I loved All the Light. It is quite long and complicated, though.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Sunday Post!
Thanks for the heads up. I hope I'll be up to it!
DeleteA waiting list of 100 sounds long, but libraries by extra copies when the waiting list gets longer. Still, I definitely understand wanting to get some books read ASAP!
ReplyDeleteLove the cover of All the Light We Cannot See. The Hiss and Tell cover made me laugh.
An ill fated wedding couple, it seems in Hiss and Tell, Joy!
DeleteOur library list is very long for All the Light We Cannot See, too, and I didn't get a chance to read it when my turn came up a couple of months ago! Think I'll just purchase a copy when I'm ready for it.
ReplyDeleteSorry you missed that chance! Next time!
DeleteI do love that cover of Hiss and Tell...and I have the same impatience with waiting for a book that I want to read now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and enjoy your new books. Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Another perk for buying a book, Laurel-Rain, is that you get to keep it!
DeleteI know nothing about All The Light We Cannot See, but want to read it based on the title and cover alone!

I just started and it's keeping my interest, Deborah.
DeleteHiss and Tell looks like it belongs on my shelf so I'll be checking it out. Love the cover of All the Light We Cannot See and the title just screams "come read what I'm about!"

That cozy does look good!
DeleteChecked Out and Hiss and Tell look like wonderful Cozies! I have been eyeing All the Light We Cannot See on Audible. I hope you enjoy all of your books!
ReplyDeleteHope you will let us know if you read them, Martha.
DeleteI plan to buy All the Light We Cannot See the next time I'm in a bookstore. I've heard it's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIt's really good so far, BermudaOnion.
DeleteI like your books especially "Hiss and Tell." Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI am eager to start reading it, Topazshell.
DeleteI like them too. I think you must be a cat lover, Vicki, lol!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to borrow anna's copy of Doerr's book, since I got it for her for Christmas! :)
ReplyDeleteThere you go...!
DeleteI actually really like the cover of All the Light we Cannot See. And over the weekend I got a copy of Maplecroft by Cherie Priest.
ReplyDeleteHaven't read Maplecroft. Will look it up.
DeleteI must admit that I bought The Goldfinch and All the Light We Cannot See partly because of the long wait at the library (and I really wanted to read them!) but also because they were so cheap on Kindle shortly after they were released!
ReplyDeleteYou got your reading in early! The only time I bought a book from Kindle that I really, really wanted was IQ84, because it was too thick to carry around, over 1000 pages. But the Kindle version was a godsend; I got through it in several days.
DeleteWonderful purchases.
ReplyDeleteAll The Light We Cannot See is on my to read list too.
Love your cozy - adorable cover.
Have a great week.

ReplyDeleteI am amazed at how clever many of these titles are, Suko.
