This year sure has some awesome books, right? I have an egalley of A Widow’s Story and a library copy of Shadow Tag to read. Shadow Tag is definitely pricking my interest. I did read that it is not as great as her previous books, but I still can’t seem to pass it up!

I have heard that too. Her other books have been pretty darn good, so it’s hard for me to think that this one won’t be as well. I can’t pass it up either.
I wasn’t planning on reading them! But I want to now! Did you have to show such tempting books?? LOL
vivienne´s last [type] ..Angel Time by Anne Rice
I just had to share Vivienne, and happy to lead others astray!
Ack! I’m in pain – I am wanting them all. I REALLY need to read that one about the video games though, because my son is an extreme gamer. I need to reassure myself that he isn’t going to be warped for life by playing them all the time.

LOL. I’m sure he is fine, but it is so interesting to see the way games have become so much more realistic and relevant to every day life. i remember playing Candyland, so this is all a whole new ball game.
There are quite a few I want to read in there, but high on my list are Learning to Swim and The Other Life.
The Other Life sounds absolutely fascinating. I haven’t heard of Ellen Meister before, so I have no expectations, but that would be an awesome read if done well.
Learning to Swim is supposed to be on the way to me, and I can’t wait. I’m also hoping to rescue The Paris Wife and The Other Life from my shelves, but I’m very intrigued by some of the other books you have. Particularly The Philosophical Breakfast Club, The Sweet Relief of Missing Children, Fortunate Sons, and Instruments of Darkness. Most of those weren’t really on my radar.
Jen – Devourer of Books´s last [type] ..I is an Other by James Geary – Book Review
There is so much good stuff out in February. i am glad to hear that you have a couple of them. Ahem. It’s so hard. I am excited about all of them really, but I am really intrigued by The Philosophical Breakfast Club too.
Yes, I want all of them. There really needs to be an extra day added to the week for reading. There are just so many wonderful books out there and it would be cruel of me not to read them.
Martha´s last [type] ..Teaser Tuesday
I’ve got a few of these on my shelf to read, but you have a few more that I’m going to have to pick up. There is a lot of temptation in this post!
Oh holy cow.None of these are ON my list but they’re going to be. I need to go through them and add a few. Nice stack!

I so can not wait to read the Union Quilters!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the Visconti House is one that I have on my library cart to process
Staci´s last [type] ..When We Were Strangers by Pamela Schoenewaldt- TLC Book Tour Stop
Really, I hadn’t heard of ANY of these books! Fortunate Sons definitely caught my interest, though.
Emily Jane´s last [type] ..Dubliners- by James Joyce
Your bookshelf looks a lot like mine! I have Madame Tussaud, the Oates memoir, The Sweet Relief of Missing Children, and Shadow Tag all on my stacks for this month! uh oh – time is slipping by!!

Great picks! I really want to read the Paris Wife and Union Quilters too but now I am drooling over some of these others too!
Amused´s last [type] ..Three Little Women
I’ve got A Widow’s Story and Madame Tussaud on my shelf right now! I’m really looking forward to both of them!

I read Shadow Tag recently and really enjoyed it, though it was the first book of hers that I’ve read, so I can’t make comparisons. A Widow’s Tale sounds particularly touching.
Dave´s last [type] ..Borders bankruptcy – store closings list
Madame Tussaud and Shadow Tag await me on my shelves! Many of the others you’ve listed here I’ve not yet heard of, but a few of them in particular look great.
Erin´s last [type] ..CRP- “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Bronte
I’m curious about Learning to Swim. I’ve been seeing it pop up more frequently lately. Fortunate Sons sounds really interesting. I hadn’t heard of it.
I read A Widow’s Story’ a couple of weeks ago and really liked it (warning: it’s a total downer!). She’s such a great writer.
Melissa´s last [type] ..Updates
I read and reviewed Reality is Broken. I think you will find it an interesting read. So many of the other ones that you have here are on my future list too. It seems like lately every time I turn around I am finding another book that I want to add to my list!
