Lately, I've been in a book shopping mood. Part of it was actual book shopping, part was getting a box of books from my mother, and part are books from my own personal library that I had my husband bring up when he went home for an appointment. It's a bit of a memory exercise trying to remember exactly what books you have and where they are located. It showed me I need to drastically reorganize!
1. The Amazing Mrs. Pollifax by Dorothy Gilman - This came from my personal library and I knew I had to have a Mrs. Pollifax brought up here.
2. The Summoning by Heather Graham - Another personal library book and one I'm looking forward to reading since I've been swearing up and down I was going to read it for at least a year!
3. A Paris Apartment by Michelle Gable - This book was on my TBR from the moment it came out. It's a time capsule of an apartment in Paris! How could I resist? I was thrilled when I finally picked up a copy not that long ago and it had to make the move.
4. The Bookshop by the Shore by Jenny Colgan - Another personal library pick up and one I've really been looking forward to reading. I love Jenny Colgan and this one sounds delightful.
5. Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katarina Bivald - I've been wanting to pick this one up so when I got a gift card from a very kind friend I knew this was one I'd be buying.
7. Missing, Presumed by Susie Steiner - This is another one from my mother and it does look really good.
8. Molded 4 Murder by J.C Eaton - This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series but I realized that even though I did read this last year I remember absolutely zero about it so I decided to go on and buy a copy.
9. Dressed Up 4 Murder by J.C. Eaton - This is the latest book in that series. I have an eARC of it from NetGalley but just haven't gotten to it so I decided just to go buy it.
10. Blue Dahlia by Nora Roberts - I ordered this book (and the rest of the trilogy) on a whim because it takes place in Memphis, TN where we are currently living. It's a reread but it's been awhile so I thought it'd be fun to revisit fictional Memphis and see if I could identify any places.
What books have you picked up recently?
I don't know what the Emily's Ghost book is about but I am loving that cover!
ReplyDeleteBookshop By the Shore and Emily's Ghost sound likes ones I might like.
ReplyDeleteA lot of those sound good and Yay for the Sophie Kimball series books...lol. :)
ReplyDeleteThey all sound like great reads. Yes very difficult remembering whats on your shelf when you aren't in front of it.
ReplyDeleteI've bought a few for my Kindle and probably a few were free:
ReplyDeleteA Vampire Bewitched, The Brothers Three, Throne of Sand, The Vampire Knitting Club.
I love the Mrs. Pollifax series, I own them all and reread them every few years. They just make me happy. I recently watched a movie starring Rosaline Russell (she actually wrote the script under a pseudonym) based on the first book, The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax. It is called Mrs. Pollifax - Spy and is free on Amazon Prime.
ReplyDeleteIf you like her, you might want to try the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books set in Botswana. That set of books has a lovely TV series based on it, which lasted for 1 season (7 episodes).
Thanks for mentioning the ____ 4 Murder series. That series is new to me, and as a Minnesotan I am looking forward to trying it.
I'm finding I'm picking up too many books at the moment! There seems to be a ton about Donald Trump that I want to read, new releases by favourite authors, political and royal books in the UK...I need to reign myself in a bit!
ReplyDeleteOoo... Emily's Ghost has something to do with the Bronte sisters. I hope you get a chance to read and review it. I'm curious! 👍✨
