Filling the shelf – 14
Filling the Shelf is basically Mailbox Monday (created by The Printed Page) or In my Mailbox (created by The Story Siren ), but with a title that suits my blog 🙂 If you’re interested in joining the fun or seeing what other bloggers added to their shelves, I invite you to visit those two awesome bloggers!
As I mentioned in my last Filling the Shelf post, I’ve had a lot of books entering my house recently. I think my prediction that 2010 will see a return to adult literature is getting confirmed by my recent purchases. Not that I won’t read YA anymore, but maybe less of it.
This recent selection includes :
The Girl with glass feet by Ali Shaw
Alice I have been by Melanie Benjamin
Through a Glass darkly by Karleen Koen
While I’m falling by Laura Moriarty
World War Z by Max Brooks
The Believers by Zoe Heller
All books for which I have read good things, enough to make me curious of reading them.
Also, you might remember how I enjoyed Too Good to be true by Kristan Higgins, even though I’m not a huge romance fan. Anyway, I ordered her other novels and the last of them arrived this week, among which The Next best Thing, her most recent one. I can’t wait to jump into those, I think they’ll be perfect to go through the mid-terms!
Fools rushed In, Catch of the Day, Just one of the Guys and The Next best thing by Kristan Higgins.
Now that you know what I got, it’s your turn : what was in your mailbox?
I really want to read The Girl with the Glass Feet!
I’m currently reading The Girl with Glass Feet and absolutely love it!
World War Z is awesome! I’ve helped circulate through my family.
The Girl With The Glass Feet sounds interesting. I’ll be curious to see what you think of The Believers. Happy reading! My MM is here
Great haul! I LOVED Alice, I Have Been and Through A Glass Darkly and I hope you do too!
Have a good week!
Here’s my mailbox: http://www.passagestothepast.com/2010/02/mailbox-monday.html
Nice variety of books! I enjoyed While I’m Falling and have heard wonderful things about Alice I Have Been.
WOW..you got some great ones this week. I have The Girl With the Glass Feet from the library (doubt I’ll get to it), and I did enjoy Alice I Have Been – happy reading Kay!
Nice loot.

First three books have fantastic covers! They arouse my curiosity already! I hope you’ll be reading and reviewing them soon.
I’m so envious of The Girl with Glass Feet and Alice I Have Been! Hope you enjoy them. My mailbox is at The Crowded Leaf.
It looks like you have some fantastic books there! I really enjoyed Alice I Have Been. I keep thinking about picking up all the Karleen Koen books to read. I’m going to one of these days-they sound so good. Enjoy your books!
I plan to read more adult lit this year too. I kind of got imbalanced last year. I love YA, but it helps to mix it up a bit!
You received a nice batch of books this week! I can’t wait to hear what you think about the KH books you ordered. 🙂
