Book loot and a few thank yous

Since many bookstores in the metro had their sale for the past few weeks, I decided to take advantage of it and buy new hardbacks. Here are some of my recent purchases:



Wright's The Moral Animal will always be my favorite. I just hope that his most recent non-fiction, The Evolution of God, is just as good. I also can't wait to read Grant's Hunger, the sequel to Gone, which was a very satisfying read. Duey's Sacred Scars, her second installment of the wonderful A Resurrection of Magic series, is also one of the YA novels I've been eagerly anticipating. And, thanks to Melvin, a fellow book blogger, I finally have a hardback of Bolano's 2666.


This week, I'm also fortunate to receive a few awards from my fellow book bloggers. Ryan passed on to me the Lemonade Award. Thanks, Ryan! Check out his blog for his no-nonsense book reviews. Also, Sheila gave me the Your Blog Rocks! Award. Head on over to Sheila's blog, for she has lots of giveaways and she features book and reading groups. Michael also has given me the Zombie Chicken award. I can't wait for the Around the World in 80 Days thing!












Lisa at Book Blab gave me a Your Blog Rocks award. Thanks, Lisa! Jenny at TakeMeAway sent me a BINGO award as well. And to those of you who nominated me for a few BBAW awards, thank you! I really appreciate it.

Do check out these blogs whose owners were gracious enough to send these awards my away. I always have a jolly good time checking out what their entries.
