I think owning books is another pleasure besides reading them. I tried to behave but I just got delivered...

The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict
Diary of a Hapless House-husband by Sam Holden
Dear Evan Hansen by Val Emmich

..... Oh! Off topic and quite weird. I got in the mail today a letter from a Val (????) that says she's so glad she's joined the group (???) and learned about Louise Penny's book series. Who the hell is Val?

13 Little Blue Envelopes and The Last Little Blue Envelope by Maureen Johnson

I have so many books I can't wait to dive into.

I tried Still Life (Louise Penny) on Audible.com and I couldn't get into it. I think I was getting so distracted with other things that I had to keep playing the first chapter over and over that I gave up. I was thinking to try again with the book.

Dear Evan Hanson was a book that I kept picking up but putting down. Now I'm glad I finally got it.

Monica | 19 comments Im about to start reading Lore by Alexander Bracken. I'm exciting about this one because I love Greek mythology. I hope it lives up to the hype.

I have heard great things about that book. I was close to picking it up, but I have so many others I want to start. That's on my future To-Read list.

I have been eagerly waiting for the release date (according to Amazon) of The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams. I pre-ordered it and cannot wait until Tuesday. I walked into Barnes and Nobles tonight and there starting at me was THE BOOK!!! I grabbed a copy and cancelled my pre-order. I DON'T HAVE TO WAIT ANY LONGER!!!

I am finishing up the book I'm in the middle of but this one has gone straight to the top of the pile.

Dad treated me to a few books this weekend. I am now the happy owner of Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune, The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin, and The Lost Book of Adana Moreau by Michael Zapata.

Of course, he talked to me every time I cracked the book open so I'm only on page 28 in The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margo after 3 days. But he's a big kid and it's endearing.
