Book Journey 
Wow that is an awesome stack of books!
Oh, I see several on that stack that I’ve been wanting, including “Flowers for Elvis” and “The Smart One and the Pretty One.”
Both of those books are ones I am really looking forward to reading Laurel. 🙂
OMG, what a book list! I hope you enjoy catching Fire as much as I did!
Wow, you got a ton of books this week! And I’m so jealous that you got Lucan, as I’m dying to read that one! *L*
Can just picture you curled up on the couch, in front of a blazing fire, reading while it snows outside. Guess because you mentioned the snow the other day. Enjoy!
Sounds like some wonderful reading ahead of you 🙂
What an awesome post! 🙂 And you have Lucan!?! That makes it perfect…lol!
LOL J Kaye – I do have Lucan… which is different from my reading styles so we shall see how Lucan and I do 🙂
You have some pretty cool books here Sheila!! You’re lucky too, to win all those contests!! I am lucky to win one every 3-4 months!!
Happy Reading my friend! Looking forward to your reviews!!
Holy Humongous! That is a ton of books and they all look awesome. And congratulations on winning so many.
I like several of the covers as well–the girl on the swing, the high heeled bright blue shoe–they know what they’re doing!
Snowing down here this a.m.!
Hi Julie – yes the girl on the swing really caught my eye too and Tell Me Something True
My, someone’s going to be busy. What a wonderful collection of books you have there.

Catching Fire is fantastic and I’m so eager to read my copy of The Last Song. Hope you enjoy your books!
Thanks Sophie – I need to get my hands on a copy of Hunger Games first then I am so getting into this book! 🙂

Great list of reads! I’ll be adding a few of them to my list : )
Here’s another suggestion for you! I think you’d really love a book I wrote called ‘Knickles and Dimes’. It’s a fun read, with laugh-out-loud characters and a great story. I hope you’ll check it out!

Thanks for the suggestions!
