Sookie Stackhouse 1-3
by Charlaine Harris
A Vintage Affair by Isabel Wolff
Phoebe takes refuge in her work - restoring these wonderful old clothes to their former glory so that they can go on to have new lives. But what of the past lives these clothes have lived she often wonders? What stories would they tell if they could speak?
Myrrha - Ulrika Känrborg
Hannah Cillwick becomes the maid for the poet Arthur Mumby, together they are involved in an erotic affair.
The Library of Shadows by Mikkel Birkegaard
Imagine that some people have the power to affect your thoughts and feelings through books. They can seduce you with amazing stories, conjure up vividly imagined worlds, but also manipulate you into thinking exactly what they want you to.
The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
If you've ever wondered what your dog is thinking, Stein's third novel offers an answer. Enzo is a lab terrier mix plucked from a farm outside Seattle to ride shotgun with race car driver Denny Swift as he pursues success on the track and off.
So I did not mean to borrow any books this week. but it was the last day before school and I went to my old library that I only visit a couple of times a year and look at the goodies I found.

Aww, that last cover with the dog, he looks sad :(. But I don't think he's supposed to look sad. The description of the book doesn't seem so anyway!
ReplyDeleteMichelle,
ReplyDeleteI was so surprised that the library had them. Took all I found. I hope they get the rest
Amy,
He may actually do look sad cos he narrates the story i think. And sad things happen...need to check it again
Lots of good stuff! I just love the covers on the Sookie books. They're great.
ReplyDeleteA Vintage Affair sounds really good, pretty cover too.
Well done on getting the first three Charlaine Harris books. You will definitely want to read them in a row. I have The Library of Shadows too.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the Sookie books! There is always a queue for those books at my library as soon as the next book is added to the catalogue!
ReplyDeleteI only read The Art of Racing in the Rain but it was a great read. beware though, it is a little bit of a tear jerker, especially towards the end.
ReplyDeleteI've heard lots of good things about The Art of Racing in the Rain. Hope you enjoy your finds!

ReplyDeleteHi Blodeuedd!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy the Sookie Stackhouse series as much as I did. It's one of my favorites. Charlaine Harris is just good. It's a fun series! Her other series, the Harper Connelly series is fun too.
Happy Reading!
