Weekly Discoveries #1
Ok, so I've stolen this idea from other bloggers, but I like the idea of posting my book discoveries for the week. Many come from other bloggers' book reviews, but others are my own finds. I'm going to try to make this a regular Sunday addition to my blog. I'm aware that there is already a Friday Finds meme, but for now, I'll do it my way!
So, in no particular order here's what I've come across this week:

Hey, Beth -- I don't mind you doing your own thing, but I do find your WEEKLY DISCOVERIES to be very similar to my FRIDAY FINDS meme...
I always get my book lists from reading other people's blogs, or from surfing the net, or from browsing the local library. The books on my lists are usually new books I'd never heard of prior to that week, that look like something I'd want to read in the future. They're almost NEVER books that have come into my possesion, already.
Anyhoo. I'm not upset, and I don't feel that you're trying to 'step on toes' or take away my readership... but I just thought I'd clarify what I mean when I say "what great books did you hear about/find this week" every Friday. ;)
