Good week! I've been curious about Wild since it was announced as Oprah's first pick for her book club ... it does look really good!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good week for you! Wild sounds like it could be an interesting read!
ReplyDeleteA nice haul Alison! I have only read Lisa Desrochers 1st book..
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!

Ahh!! I need to read the Personal Demons series so badly!! I've heard such great things about it!
ReplyDeleteHere's my StS
OOh, a book on the queen. Cool!
ReplyDeleteNice haul! I have yet to read Hilary Mantel but the reviews have been really great. Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteI have heard really really great things on Bringing Up The Bodies!! I hope you like it :)

Great haul! I've been wanting to read the Personal Demons series for awhile now, so thanks for the reminder! (:
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your books!
Never heard of these books, but I hope you enjoy them :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
I really need to finish the Personal Demons series! Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely haul, I haven't read non-fic in ages, but those sound like two excellent ones for 2012. I loved the opening ceremony of the olympics and the fact that everyone did a double take with the real Queenie featuring in the bond snippet! Jubilee celebrations were of course wonderfully rainy, but my only gripe is that I didn't win one of the 100 millionaire tickets on Friday...I mean,come on! Anyway, to the books, thanks so much for popping over earlier, I'm now really excited about The False Prince. Wild looks really good.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the Lisa desrocher books but I read some mixed reviexs so I finally still wait to know what I'll do about this series. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteNice haul. Last Rite sounds like a good one. Happy Reading!

ReplyDeleteVery interesting set of books there. I hope they're epically awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my haul.
Love all the interesting books you have this week! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteA book about Queen Elizabeth, nice! I haven't read any of Lisa's books but I've heard they're good.
ReplyDelete~Kailia @ Reading the Best
Thanks for stopping by. I'm very excited about the Olympics. I think my reading will definitely suffer....Never considered reading books to "put me in the mood!" Great idea!
ReplyDeleteThe book about Queen Elizabeth looks really interesting. Last Rite looks good too, is this series good?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
To End All Wars looks really good!
ReplyDeleteWhat a rockin' week, hope next week is just as awesome :-)
Great haul! I still have to read the first Lisa Desrocher book.

Great haul! I actually haven't heard of any of those books but they all sound really amazing and I hope you enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog earlier! :)
Great haul! Bring Up The Bodies looks really good. I read Wolf Hall last year and can't wait to read this one.
ReplyDeleteOmigosh, great haul and recap! <3 It's nice that you're stepping out of the YA world for a while. That book on her Royal Highness looks niiiiice (I always like a good royalty book, haha!). And can't wait for more of your Skip Beat! manga reviews ^_~
ReplyDeleteI've heard such great things about that Queen Elizabeth book! It's definitely one that I'm hoping to pick up soon. And since it's not YA and I know you won't be reviewing it... what did you think about it?
ReplyDeleteWow, great haul! Skip Beat is such a popular manga--I really need to read it!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my IMM
Awesome haul. These all look really good. I hope that you enjoy everything you got this week :)
