#augustbreak: make my day, why don't you

DateMonday, August 20, 2012

This day has not gone well. I woke up with a stiff neck and it’s gone downhill from there. And then the doorbell rang, and a very nice man handed me a package full of wonderful books. I can’t wait to sail in!

  • Kate Morton, The Secret Keeper (ARC edition, coming out on October 9 if you believe Goodreads or October 16 if you believe the ARC cover)
  • Felix J. Palma, The Map of the Sky (hardcover, coming out on September 4—you have just enough time to read the first book, The Map of Time, which was a five-star book for me)
  • James Treadwell, Advent (hardcover, and it’s been out for a good long while)

Dear lovely people at Simon and Schuster, you fixed up today. If these books are as good as your timing, I have a lot to look forward to.

As for the rest of you: I’ve finally moved my book reviews (which I haven’t done in eons) to a separate page so that they aren’t in the flow of the regular journal posts. I’ll still link a heads-up when I’ve written a review of a book I think you might like, but for those of you who don’t care, they’re out of the way. More about this when things sort themselves out house-sale-wise.

I can't wait for fall. It is my favorite reading season. Is that weird?

The Map of the Sky sounds intriguing! Is there anything better, REALLY, than getting books in the mail? I live for it. Today my copy of Volume One: The Sandman - Prelude and Nocturnes by Neil Gaiman is supposed to arrive. I am so excited to break into that! Ahhhh, the joy of reading. Nothing better than books.

This totally made me want to curl up with our book. Tomorrow night our book group is selecting the reads for the next 12 months -- I can't wait!

Jen, absolutely not! I read much more once it cools down myself.
Tracy, you let me know how you like Sandman. Some of them are not as great as the others, but I really love them so much.
Noel, if you hit anything on your group list that seems promising, let me know. I always love a recommendation from someone I know personally.
