ReplyDeleteEsha@ Readaholicme
Henrietta Lacks is a book that I've heard the title of a million times, but have no idea what it's about. I'll wait for your review to educate me :-)
ReplyDeleteIn Zanesville is a book that I've wanted to read for a while, but with so many other books on my shelves waiting to be read, I never to get it. - That's probably a good thing. You mentioned that it is for your book club, do you think that it would be something you would have read otherwise?
ReplyDeleteInzanesville looks really interesting! I haven't heard of that one before. The Immortal Life looks really good, I have seen it around but I haven't ever checked to see what it's about.. I really should LOL I hope you enjoy all of your books and have a fantastic week! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog :)

Hi Alison! Nice IMM, although I haven't read any of these books but I've seen them around the web and they seem to be very popular. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteMadame Tussaud is somewhere in my reading pile...hopefully I can get to it soon. I love the cover and it sounds interesting. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOoh I want to read Henrietta Lacks! I hope you like it! :D
ReplyDeleteAs for the Hanklerfish, Hank Green (John's brother) signed only 5% of the books with an anglerfish doodle, so a lot of the people who follow their vlogs really wanted to get one. I was really excited! haha Did you read TFIOS?
Great mailbox this week, Madame Tussaud looks really interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my mailbox!
I really want to read Dengeki Daisy. I've heard of Madame Tussaud, but I'm usually not a big fan of historical fiction. I hope you'll like it, though.

ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to read Dengeki Daisy for a while. I need to get on that!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a wide selection you've got there! I've had Henrietta Lacks for the longest time and still haven't managed to read it. From what I've read about her, it's a fascinating story.

ReplyDeleteI am so curious to read your thoughts on Madame Tussaud. I've been meaning to read a Michelle Moran book for so long, and that one looks really good.
