Friday Finds {5-1-09}

Friday Finds is another meme hosted by MizB @ Should Be Reading. Visit this week's post to see what others have found or to add your own finds for this past week.

Here some of the books that have been added to my wishlist in the past month (I have had a FF post in awhile).


This is the second in Tamora Pierce's Song of the Lioness series. I read the first, Alanna and really want to read the rest in the series. If you are curious, you can read my review of Alanna.






Book 3 in the Song of the Lioness series.









Book 4 (the final book) in the Song of the Lioness series.








I feel I can justify these picks: There wasn't a lot of great YA when I was one! I now have a 15 year old daughter who loves to read and I'm actually getting some recommendations from her and her friends. =)






Now for some "grown up people" picks.

• Skippyjon Jones by Judy Schachner - found @ Alyce's At Home with Books (one of her Friday Finds from 11-7-08) - this sounds hilarious; I know it's for kids but I will be calling myself "Skippito Friskito" for days if not weeks!

• The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett - found @ Stuff as Dreams are Made on

Friday Finds {10-17-08}

The idea is to share, every Friday, about books that you’ve recently discovered (never heard of before) that sound really good!

Every Friday, those who have blogs will write a post at their own blog, and then come back and leave others a link to follow on that week’s “Friday Finds” post here at Should Be Reading. For those who don’t blog, you can just tell us about your “Friday Finds” in a comment on that week’s post.

Some of the books that have jumped out at me this week are all Teaser Tuesday books:

• misscz's- The Devil's Footprints by Amanda Stevens
  
• tanabata's- Grotesque by Natsuo Kirino
• Valerie's- A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth
• Dar's- The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran
