After last week's epic haul, I don't have quite as much to report. I put myself on a book buying ban. Still, there are some things I had already ordered that are still trickling in:
Also, I'm taking a colloquium on James Joyce's Ulysses for my studies this semester. It's taught at the James Joyce Foundation here in Zurich by Fritz Senn, one of the best Joyce scholars there are, and I'm honored to have the chance to learn from him.
And that mug you see there at the bottom is a Soul Screamers 'Kaylee' mug I won from Rachel Vincent :D
Also won: Dreamwalker, by Andrea Heltsley.
Finally, I'm readlly happy that I got approved on NetGalley for this one:
Death and the Girl Next Door, by Darynda Jones. I haven't read anything by this author before but what I've heard and also the description of the novel makes me excited for this one!
On another note:
I'm behind on the sequels challenge... I've finished Enshadowed, but that means I still have to read 3 books in 9 days, while I actually have a few NetGalley books that will be published very soon and/or are about to expire >.< I also find it very hard to resist the copies of Carnival of Souls, Origin, and Unspoken on my shelf...
What was in your mailbox this week? Link me up in the comments :)

I'm in the minority when it comes to Obsidian...didn't like it, but I hope you enjoy it :) That's great about the colloquium on Joyce. Two years ago we had a guest professor from Richmond University for a course on contemporary women's literature. She was such a delight to learn from.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Here is my STS post.
I'm going to get Obsidian next week; so curious to see what the hype's all about :) Enjoy!

Oooooo I hope I get approved for Jones' book. I love her adult series. Oh and I just read Obsidian and it's a good book. You should also read Shadows which is the prequel. It will explain Daemon's personality a little better.
