This weekly meme, hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren, is a great way to take a look at the books we received in the past week, either for review, those we bought, those we borrowed from the library, or those we won. I love it as it's a great way to keep track of the ever-growing TBR pile of books. This is what I got this week.
Books for review:
Wintergirls
by Laurie Halse Anderson
I was thrilled to get this in the mail this week from Penguin Group Canada. The author explores the struggle of anorexia and the painful pressure to be thin.
Books I won:
Slip of the Knife
by Denise Mina
Books I bought:
Betrayed (House of Night Series, Book 2)
by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast
Books from the library:
Murder Has No Class (Bellehaven House Mysteries, Book 3)
Rebecca Kent
I am always intrigued by a ghost story.
Snow Job
by William Deverell
I am a staunch supporter of Canadian Fiction. This novel is nominated for the 2010 Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal of Honour.
Wintergirls is on my to-read list!
ReplyDeleteSometimes, I feel like I'm never going to make a dent in that list!
I've heard wonderful things about Wintergirls, so I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome haul, happy reading!

ReplyDeleteSlip of the Knife sounds really good and I've heard that Wintergirls is fantastic. I like Laurie Halse Anderson's writing. I hope you enjoy all your books.
ReplyDeleteWintergirls looks really good!
ReplyDeleteI got one book this week, not something I would normally read, but it's something to review.
Slip of the Knife is a book about murder and intrigue and a lot of suspense. That is all I know about it at this point. As soon as I read it, I'll post a review and some info. It sounds pretty interesting.
