    Wow; I'm seriously blown away by the quality reads you received and bought this week! We'll compare notes on A Thousand Lives, I think! Enjoy them all!

    You're so welcome Diane, I hope you enjoy it. Glad to see you got Trick of the Light. I love her series but it's one that I think needs to be read in order. Have a wonderful week and happy reading.

    A lot of great books there, and I am really intrigued by that O'Connor that you picked up. Hope that you get a lot of time to enjoy them all!

    Hope you and Mr. Bib. are okay and your home is undamaged. I was thinking about you. At least you had lots of good reading to occupy you as you rode it out.

    Another great week for reading. Most are new to me. I also have A Thousand Lives which looks like it could be intense.

    Hope everything is drying out nicely now that Irene has left and things get back to normal soon.

    I've heard of Don't BReath a Word and have to say I'll be intrigued to hear your thoughts next.

    Have to say you have a great variation - that's what I love about you most :)

    You had a great week! I haven't read Flannery O'Connor since college, but I remember enjoying A Good Man Is Hard to Find. Glad to hear you're safe after the storm!

    Can't wait to see what you think of the McMahon -- it was scary (to me). Enjoy the O'Connor!

    The only one of your new selections I'm familiar with is Leisure Seekers, which contains one of my all-time favorite lines: "I'm sorry for worrying the children. But I've spent most of my adult life worrying about them so I'm going to call it even." :)

    A Thousand Lives has been in quite a few mailboxes this week and looks very intriguing to me. I hope you enjoy all your new reads.

    I didn't love Don't Breath a Word, the fairies were a little too much for my taste.

    You have a great bunch of books this week. I am SO ready for life to get back to a normal pace, I actually miss blogging and the blogging world. People who love talking about books.

    I'm off to read your hurricane post.
