Hope everyone had a lovely Easter! Mine was great (even if I ate too much). The weather had turned colder, but it was a lovely day with plenty of sunshine.
Today was busy, busy, but I did, finally, get all books and packages in the mail. Kimy should be getting the Barry Miles Peace: Fifty Years of Protest soon, and Raych, your copy of Immortal will take a little longer to get way up North, but it, too, is in the mail! Erin's package with a couple of books and stuff for the grandkids also made it out, after some minor difficulties finding a box, tape, waiting in the P.O. line. Everything in it may smell like coffee...which wouldn't be a bad thing.
Also stopped by the library on the way home and made a good haul; I was quite successful with the library for a change. Well, I guess I'm always successful to some degree (we do have a great library), but this time they had many of the books I wanted for the Once Upon a Time Challenge.
Finished Christine Falls this weekend, and today in just a few hours, knocked out the YA novel Zel by Shannon Hale so they will need to be reviewed. One will be a pleasure and the other a puzzle. A couple of books are still in progress; there are the new library books, and some excellent ARC's waiting.
Yay! Books in the mail! I can hardly wait! Although, there are a dozen or so books on the holdshelf at the library, and if I don't pick them up today they're going back into circulation (yikes!), so I suppose I'll have something to tide me over until Immortal gets here. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading your thoughts on Zel!
ReplyDeleteI just finished River Secrets by Hale and knew there was a new book soon to be released. Guess I'll check my library for Zel. My daughter will be excited, too.
ReplyDeleteWhoops - Zel is by Donna Jo Mapoli not Shannon Hale. Tho, Hale does have a book coming out in Aug titled Rapunzel's Revenge. Zel looks like one I'd like to read.
ReplyDeleteWhew! I've been able to make a couple of comments lately!
ReplyDeleteraych- I hope you enjoy Immortal more than I did! I was really glad to be able to send it on, since almost everyone else who read it liked it.
Nymeth - Oh, I enjoyed Zel very much and will review it soon.
Booklogged - Yes, I knew Hale had written one about Repunzel as well, and I'm eager to read and compare. I think Napoli did an excellent job.
