How about you? Any new books last week?
Ooh The Rosie Project! This was one of my favourites for the year - it's just lovely.
ReplyDeleteSam, so exciting to read how much you liked it.
DeleteThe Rosie Project and the Gallery of Vanished Husbands do look good! I hve Burial Rites and The Girl with a Clock for a Heart to read also.
ReplyDeleteThese look really good. I hate having audiobooks to review though because I go so slow with them!
ReplyDeleteI usually manage 1-2 audios a week (especially when I have a few days to listen at work). I just pathetic about writing reviews lately.
DeleteI'm so jealous of your Grain Brain! I heard about it this weekend and I really want to read/listen to it!
ReplyDeleteI love listening to non fiction and this sounds so interesting I thought.
DeleteI wonder if Grain Brain is similar to Wheat Belly, which I recently finished. Burial Rites is getting some great reviews.. have it on hold at the library.
ReplyDeleteOrdered 4 copies of Friends in Deed: The Story of the Quaker Social Reform in America, for my F2F bookclub . Thought it was going to be a bit dry, but so far rather interesting. I do not get books from publishers for review so my mailboxes are usually pretty meager.
ReplyDeleteJudy - enjoy your book group read - not familiar with the title.
DeleteWow!! Lots of great books. I've been seeing Burial Rites everywhere. I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Trish -- I need time to slot in in (story of my life).
DeleteI've seen good things about Burial Rites...enjoy your books! And thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteBTW...they did give me a vision test, too, at the DMV...LOL.
Oops, that last comment means nothing to you, probably...it was Deb Nance who commented on people needing their vision checked! LOL
DeleteLOL -- that's okay Laurel and yes, anxious to read/listen to Burial Rites.
DeleteWe got completely different audio books. lol I hope all of yours are terrific!
ReplyDeleteLOL - too funny and who would think there are just so many books (great ones) releasing at the same time.
DeleteI can't wait to have to read the latest Cornwell!

I'm still not an audio books fan but I was thrilled to get a review copy of Under the Wide and Starry Sky this week, about Robert Louis Stevenson and his wife.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to that one as well.
DeleteWow, so many great-sounding books this week. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Burial Rites. I bet it is really good in audio.
ReplyDeleteENJOY your week.

You sure keep getting the goodies!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I keep seeing The Gallery of Vanished Husbands everywhere. You've got some great titles there - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely series of books they sent you. I think I'd be squealing too.
ReplyDeleteI got The Rosie Project on audio too. Can't wait to give it a listen!
ReplyDeleteExciting - we'll have to compare notes:)
DeleteDiane, these are all new titles to me, which is hard to believe as I've been "making the rounds" to various blogs. I hope you'll review The Rosie Project, which I peeked at on Amazon.
ReplyDeleteEveryone seems to be talking about The Rosie Project, and honestly I hadn't heard about it until last month. It does sound really good.
DeleteI loved Harold Fry - a sad sap of a character.
ReplyDeleteGreat audios! I regret not requesting Burial Rites. Oh well, I'll read it in print.
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about Burial Rites and The Rosie Project. Hope you love both!
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing The Rosie Project. It seems o be a popular book lately! I may have to put it on my wishlist! Enjoy your new reads!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous collection of titles this week Diane. I think I might try and find myself a copy of The Rosie Project in audio too. I've been wanting to read it ever since it was first released in Australia, but unfortunately still haven't found the time - sounds like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteGrain Brain looks interesting and I have heard great things about The Rosie Project!
ReplyDeleteOh! I so want to read Burial Rites, it looks great. Enjoy your new books! :)
ReplyDeleteI just received my copy of The Rosie Project in audio too. I hadn't heard of Grain Brain - it sounds like something I should be reading. Carbs are one of my favorite food groups.
