Such fantastic books! I'm really curious to hear what you think of The Goldfinch on audio, I don't think I've seen any reviews of the audiobook yet. Looks like you have some great luck with Paperback Swap, I might need to give it another try :)
ReplyDeleteWow, lovely books! I'm after The Circle, but had big issues when I tried to buy it as an ebook (the company told me the ecopy could only be read on computers...?!) Anyway, hoping for a hardcopy soon!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy them all, you have some fantastic reading there.
I've just added Daughters of Mars to my wish list.
ReplyDeleteRead on!

Beautiful haul. Enjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, The Goldfinch and Bill Bryson! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGreat list of books! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Wonderful stack! So envious :) The Child's Christmas is a treasure of a book. I have Identical and The Preservationist, but there are plenty others I am adding to my wishlist. Thanks for sharing it all. Enjoy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the narrator's voice in Bellman & Black.
ReplyDeleteLoved both Sea Creatures and The Preservationist. I'm very curious about Bellman and Black, which seems to be showing up everywhere. Enjoy your week! Here's MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a STACK of books. I am jealous! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThe Goldfinch looks fantastic, and you've got a lot of other great looking ones there, too. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI see some enticing audio books this week. I have The Goldfinch in print - it's sooo big I'm wondering if it would be better (for me) in audio. Bellman & Black has been my next read for a few weeks now but each time I pick it up something else gets in ahead, like a bookclub pick or an audio I've just bailed on and switched to print. Hope you like The Preservationist which was a fast, suspenseful read.
ReplyDeleteI have such a huge pile of books to read for the long list of Maine Readers Choice that I've quit asking for ARCs, but the audios now are another story....I'm always looking for those and the Bryson and the Goldfinch have just gone onto my "must have' pile. Enjoy and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas book looks like a good one!
ReplyDeleteNice books! I hope you enjoy Bellman and Black!
ReplyDeleteBellman & Black read by Jack Davenport? Oh. My.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't handle stacks that big - good luck!
