Even though I've been barely reading, as painfully chronicled in my mid-year rewind post, lol, I've somehow managed to accumulate new books. I went a little 1-click happy with some eBook deals, and I also had some Amazon rewards points to use.
I read a sample of My Plain Jane through the Epic Reads newsletter and HAD to get it, even though I still have to read The Lady Janies' previous collaboration, My Lady Jane.
In a rare venture outside of fiction, I've recently added not one but TWO nonfiction titles to my shelves. I'm a Simpsons fangirl, so Springfield Confidential is a must-read. Having grown up reading the Little House books and watching the TV show, I'm very eager to read Caroline Fraser's Prairie Fires, which I'd seen some rave reviews for.

The Clockmaker's Daughter DOES have a nice cover! And Little House- I remember that show growing up. :) I read a few of the books too I think.
ReplyDeleteI recently read Maureen Johnson and would totally read more of her stuff!
I love her Shades of London series and hope that there will be another book one day. I picked up her most recent book, Truly Devious, a while ago and really need to read it!
