Ellie's New Books
What more proof do you need? Ellie is in want of an intervention program. There's no way she's going to read all the new books she's accumulated over the last few weeks.
(I may have to help her out a bit.)
The Lagoon and Other Stories. Janet Frame
Henrietta's War. Joyce Dennys
Fantastic Night and Other Stories. Stefan Zweig
So Many Books. Gabriel Zaid
The Children's Day. Michiel Heyns (review copy)
Wait Until Twilight. Sang Pak (review copy)
The Shooting Party. Anton Chekhov
The Blind Side of the Heart. Julia Franck
The Life All Around Me by Ellen Foster. Kaye Gibbons
The Man Who Was Thursday. G.K. Chesterton
The Collected Stories. Amy Hempel
The Sentinel. Rebecca West
The Owl Killers. Karen Maitland

Lovely. I've Henrietta's War on my tbr, too, and waiting for Sang Pak's book to arrive. The Stefan Zweig title particularly interests me.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo and book selection. Sadly, I have not read even one of those in your pile. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteEllie, you are ADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteAnd because you are so adorable, I am going to suggest that you skip that one Chesterton book altogether. I read it and could not make hide nor hair o'it!
Ellie looks like she'll share. Besides all that reading surely will cut into her sleeping time! Seeing such a respectable pile of books always makes me feel less guilty than I should. I'm looking forward to Karen Maitland's first book to come out in paper soon. And I have Henrietta's War all ready to go, too!
ReplyDeleteI might need to have the same intervention program. When I post this Monday....I definitely need help.
