I wouldn't know where to start with that list. I have some time to read today so I'm trying to finish The Liberation of Alice Love. Did I find that from your website?
ReplyDeleteI've seen the Secret Lives of Baba Segi's everywhere today, but I hadn't heard of it before. Don't know how I missed it!
ReplyDeleteI will be interested in hearing what you think of Baba Segi's Wives, as Aarti and I did a joint review of it a few months ago, and had a lot to discuss. I am also interested in Cleaning Nabokov's House. Great stack this week!
ReplyDeleteI think you and I are on the same mailing list for some things. LOL
ReplyDeleteI think THE SOLDIER'S WIFE looks good. Hope you enjoy!
I hope you enjoy Skipping a Beat!
ReplyDeleteI got The Soldier's Wife, too. Doesn't it look great? Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteGreat mailbox! All the books are "new to me books" so will have to wait for your reviews.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am drooling here for several of your books, like Skipping a Beat, Cleaning Nabokov's House, and The Soldier's Wife...sigh.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!
Cleaning Nabokov's House??? As in the Vladimir Nabokov??? What a coup! Imagine all the things you'll discover behind this famous Russian writer of Lolita fame would have in his closet full of dust.
ReplyDeleteBaba Segi is probably my favorite book read in 2011 - I love reading something new and I haven't read anything quite like this book. I hope you like it!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week Diane.
I've got a couple of those books as well. I'm really looking forward to Cleaning Nabokov's House.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new books!
