I'm really excited about them all!<BR/><BR/>Jo-Ann, a flood indeed! The Oates book is almost 600 pages and the print is *small*. I hope I like it...<BR/><BR/>Les, thanks! I know what you mean, my reading has slowed down lately!<BR/><BR/>Danielle, I just love bookcloseouts, every 6 months or so I just find a big stack of books there that I need, I mean want!

I'm reading A Monstrous Regiment... right now (very good so far) and read Grange House years ago (the details have faded, but from what I remember I liked it). I'd like to read the Gregson, too and will look forward to hearing what you say about it. Love Minette Walters--another that I've read but too far back to remember again. The Vine book is one of the few I've not read either and doesn't the Birch book look great! Enjoy your new books!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415242678720695754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-88624489125291166952009-03-07T12:36:00.000-06:002009-03-07T12:36:00.000-06:00Nice haul!

Will be interested to see your thoughts on Crimes of Paris!<BR/><BR/>Ti, I know why - we are addicted, that's why! It could be worse ;-)<BR/><BR/>Melanie, oh good, I'm glad to hear you liked it! I requested it on a whim and then second-guessed myself. A Golden Age doesn't look very long....so perhaps I will read it soon. I've got the chunkster of chunksters going right now!<BR/><BR/>Lisa, don't I know it! It looks like I will be reading the Oates book in May.
