ReplyDeleteI read a Simon Van Booy book in the bookstore a few years ago. My husband was traveling, I sat with the book to see if I would enjoy it... I ended up reading the book in one sitting!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many great books out (or to be published) right now. Enjoy your books and have a wonderful week!
Great books! I definitely want to read Flannery.
ReplyDeleteI just bet you are going to love the Van Booy. I had a great time with his book of short stories. Great stack today!

ReplyDeleteI just got This Beautiful Life too and am looking forward to it. Love Begins After is on my TBR, so I'll eager to see if you're among the ever-growing legion of van Booey fans! I'm also glad to see Ann Napolitano inspired some Flannery reading. I'm seeking her short stories out too since reading A Good Hard Look!

Everything Beautiful is one that I snagged from NetGalley!! They all look great!
ReplyDeleteI have a collection of Simon Van Booy's short stories that I haven't read yet. And can you believe that this Southern girl hasn't read much Flannery O'Connor? I need to work on that. Enjoy your week!
