Books and travelling with Lynn 
Didn’t you get Captivate today as well?!
Hah! Yes, I did – doh! The old grey matter is in slow decline…. will go and amend the list. BTW Poison is such a beautiful book. The cover is gorgeous. I’ve started it already. That other book you told me about looks very interesting. Definitely one that I’ll probably like! (Also, Alice has taken my Rot and Ruin – you can’t leave anything around in this place!)
Lynn 😀
I’ve had Rick Yancey’s Monstrumologist series on my to-read list for probably over a year, though now I have my eye on The 5th Wave. ARC reviewers have been showering it in praise. Makes me rather excited for it (: I loved reading Bardugo’s book and have the sequel pre-orderd — can’t wait for it. Enjoy all the books!
I get so excited when I have a good book haul like this! Can’t wait to read them all! The 5th Wave looks really good so I hope it lives up to all the praise.

‘A Natural History of Dragons’ by Marie Brennan
Oh wow!!!!
And my library has it!!!
Of course, last time there, I brought home 4 books and had to leave 5 there, for later….. And said I’d not request another, till I got through these piles. -grin- But what can I say????
Why I say is, it’s all your fault Dear Lynn!!!!! :-)))))))))
“Auntie”
My library doesn’t have A Natural History of Dragons – I’m bursting at the seams to read it though. I read a really good review for it from somebody who’s taste in books I really trust. I hope you enjoy it and I fully accept responsibility for your mountain of books! *grins*
Lynn :D:D
I love a A Midsummer Night’s Dream I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Out of all the books and classics that I’ve read I’ve never picked up Shakespeare – I’ve tried on a couple of occasions but never continued to the end – I think I have some sort of mental block because they were originally not written as novels. Anyway, it’s positively criminal that I’ve not read them so I’m going to set that to rights with this book – plus I think Carl is reading this at Stainless Steel Droppings as part of his Once Upon a Time event so that should give me the added impetus!

Is your bday in May?
Nope, just treated myself! Some books you just can’t wait for.
