    There's so many books here I'd love to read, but number one would be Royal Mistress. I've read and loved all of Anne Easter Smith's other books, so I'm sure I'll really enjoy this one as well.

    All of those books and we only have one in common - Antonia Lively Breaks the Silence. I have to say Chocolate For Breakfast sounds good to me.

    Nice-looking batch of books this week! Love and Lament looks especially interesting - it's nice to find historical fiction set in my home state. :)

    Woohoo! I have The Illusion of Separateness on my stacks and can't wait to get to it. I downloaded Orphan Train for book club this week and also ordered myself a copy of Food: Vegetarian Home Cooking. :D

    Didn't know that Kirino has a new book out. I enjoyed her previous noir novels.

    Oh wow, so many wonderful titles, where to begin? Ones that have particularly caught my eye are Antonia Lively Breaks The Silence, The Bookman's Tale and that collection of stories from Connie Willis (love her work). Enjoy!

    That's a lot of books. By covers only, several catch my eye. Read about the Simon Van Booy book on another site a week or so ago. Hope you have time to get them all read, in time.

    Great list, a lot to read. Usually I find those sorts of covers weird because it looks like some of the book is missing, but I really like the one for Building Great Sentences. And I love the title Chocolates for Breakfast. Yes please!

    Most of the covers are so visually appealing. I'm looking forward to Lullaby for Polish Girls --sounds a bit different for me.

    Yay for Lady of Ashes. I really hope you'll like that one.

    A Spear of Summer Grass was pretty good. I haven't read any other books by the author so I don't know how it measures up to her other work, but it's solid.

    I also received Royal Mistress -- how awesome does that one sound? I'm pretty excited to get to that one.

    Great haul, Audra. I hope it's all happy reading :)
