I have one more in the post (mail is slower than usual ATM because EVERYONE is sending rather than delivering Christmas presents) but that'll be the last (most probably) book of the year.
Hope you're both well!
That's true - this has never happened since I started posting this. Yikes! I have had such a steady stream of books to pick up from the library, but now of the three holds I have left two are not published yet and one I am 12th on 6 copies, so maybe next week or the week after? We did use curbside pick-up this week once, at our fave branch and we let them know Eleanor and I were both in quarantine. But our fave librarian and good friend came out to the car to bring us our books and we got to chat with another human for a bit NOT through a phone or tablet screen, so that was nice.
DeleteMargaret Beaufort is SO intriguing. I have that book on my TBR, and I appreciate your stunning haul this week.
I too made a modest addition of one after last week's haul:
ReplyDeleteThe Killer by Tom Wood, first in a CIA thriller series. I learned about this author from CyberKitten!!
[grin] I *do* hope I don't regret recommending it to you!
DeleteJudy - hope you enjoy the new series!
DeleteCK - you've not steered me wrong yet, so I think you are safe. I think it is so cool how we have all 'known' each other long enough here that we can really recommend books to one another that we know we will all enjoy - all without ever having known each other in "real life'.
DeleteYikes! I'm kinda between books also...
ReplyDeleteI am also trying to finish up these ARCs that have been on my 'reading' list for months. I have three books left on hold at the library. Two still have not been officially published yet and one I am like 12th on 6 copies or something. But I am making progress anyway, even without new treasures.
Deletei don't "acquire" books like you all do. i just get them from Gutenberg or from my own stash, mostly, but i have been dithering for several weeks over future posts and what exactly to do to participate in Howling Frog's old-SF challenge... exciting times, haha...
ReplyDeleteGutenberg counts! You are acquiring a new book you did not have before!
