The top two are Jane Green books I haven't read yet:
Dune Road, which I remember wanting to read when it came out and
Second Chance, which I know nothing about, but Jane Green is always a good chick lit read
The Fourth Bear by Jasper Fforde - I've read it before and it was just as good as Fforde always is - it's the second of the Nursery Crimes series
The Secret History of the Pink Carnation - don't know much about it but have heard it's good, I think
Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer - LOVE the author and haven't had a chance to read this one yet
Light on C.S. Lewis - and old anthology of essays on C.S. Lewis, which obviously I couldn't pass up
The Wordy Shipmates by Sarah Vowell- I kind of think I already have this one, but I had to get it just in case I don't
Gone Baby Gone by Dennis Lehane - love his writing and I've got the sequel, but needed the first. It was providential.
Two huge reference books: Encyclopedia of American Poetry, both the 19th and 20th Centuries
Some old books: a collection of stories by Du Maupassant, something by Thackeray, and I can't remember the other. The one that looks different is a 1937 volume of The Rubiyat of Omar Khayam. I don't think any are particularly valuable, but I will use them in decorating the library at home.
And this is me. Today I made the enormous mistake of laying on the couch and calling Chief to me. My head on the couch was right at the level of his paw when he takes a step and my face was stepped on. I planned to do a vlog with my Scar imitation, but I can't find the webcam...
Oh! Your poor face! :-(

Woo, looks like a good haul!
ReplyDeleteHope your eye feels better soon (ouch!).
