Me on This Week's Book Week (72)

This Week's Book Week is rather similar to Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga's Reviews only with far more rambling and a less witty title. ;)

More rain. It's times like this I wish I had a big over-sized chair for reading. And it gets dreary after a while.

My sister's looking so sleepy right now. She's in grad school now, working on her Master's degree, and her class schedule is messed up. Classes 5 days a week, and 4 of those days start at 8:30am. And she's had papers due this week and group work with control freaks and she really needs some sleep. Of course, with her back to school, I'm back to spell-checking and proof-reading her papers. Which I'm happy to do. Sometimes she buys me sushi or chocolate as a thank you. :)

I'm a little surprised at how bookish this week became. Of course, when some are e-books, and some are comic books, it doesn't seem like a lot.

The finished copies care of the wonderful Raincoast Books are sort of from the meet-up from a couple of weeks ago. At the end there was some prize-drawing done, 1 of which was a signed Eleanor & Park (which I didn't win) and 1 of which was $100 worth of books from publishers that they distribute (which I did win). And so Crystal told me to send her an e-mail with which books I wanted. And I did. And these are 2 of them because the other 3 aren't out yet.

Reviews for the coming week will feature Audacious by Gabrielle Prendergast (Tuesday) and Never Fade by Alexandra Bracken (Friday).
