What a fab pile of books! I’ve read The Beach House by Jane green (was quite good), but the others I haven’t heard of so will go and look them up. See if any take my fancy. Don’t be embarrassed – I am a bit of a bookaholic myself and seem to be adding to my pile of tbr list every week! Enjoy!

Holy Cow!! You’re gonna be a busy lil bee! Can’t wait to read your reviews!

Wow! You got some books
I LOVE that bookmark!
July 20, 2009 at 7:58 am
Lordy, the books are flowing at your house. It’d be hard to choose which one to read next. Are you a one-book reader or a multiple-books-in-progress, all at the same time reader?

Great list of books. I’ll be reading Lace Makers soon. Enjoy all the books!
July 20, 2009 at 9:21 am
From looking at your list, I think Monday must have been a holiday. Or maybe just a day off for delivery people. lol I like that you have lots of new books. It means you are going to introduce me to some great new stories.

Oooh, I love the July bookmark! Can’t wait to get mine.
