Since I can’t consistently participate in The Sunday Salon because Sundays are generally pretty hectic, I thought I would pipe in today with a couple of book piles.
I made a little trip to the library yesterday and came away with more books than I can possibly read in the next three weeks. (Typical. At least I managed to avoid purchasing any books from the book sale.) Good thing there is a liberal renewal policy. Anyway, to the right is a picture of my loot. I already cruised through The Invention of Hugo Cabret yesterday and am looking forward to devouring the rest of the stack. Stardust and Heart of Darkness are both books I’m reading for the Novella Challenge. The Post-Birthday World and Diary of a Bad Year are both books I picked up because of reviews I read on book blogs here and the sidebar here.
This second picture is a medley of books I’m currently reading and/or recently acquired. I recently purchased and am slowly making my way through Dracula. I’ve been reading one poem a day from the Billy Collins collection as part of my Poetry Tuesday resolution. Pictures from Italy and Farworld: Water Keep are both ARC’s I need to get through so I can post reviews. The rest of the stack is the loot I ordered from Amazon last week.
I love books!

I’ll be interested in what you have to say about Pope Joan. I was prejudiced against ever reading it years ago when, whatever book forum I happened to be on, someone would shill that book. They never stuck around to mention anything else they were reading so I came to the conclusion it was the author herself touting her work instead of a real reader who happened to love the book.
I read Pope Joan a while ago… the book itself is good. BUT, the author is full of her own self-importance (I can say this confidently because I used to work for the literary agent who represented her). But that said, Cross did an amazing job of doing her research and writing the book.
