This meme is hosted by Marcia @ The Printed Page. It is the gathering
place for readers to share the books
that came into their house last week (checked out library books don’t
count, eBooks & audio books do).

Remember I won quite a lot of books during
Armchair BEA week? Some more of those books tumbled in during the last couple weeks.
Wings by
Aprilynne Pike was a win at
Kai's Fiction State of Mind. I've not read any books featuring faeries yet (if you don't count the
Mortal Instruments series). So this will be a change from what I usually read, but one that I am looking forward to.

A couple of months ago, when I saw this book on at least half the blogs I follow, I was so envious that I wanted one for myself. Luckily for me, I won
Read, Remember, Recommend through a giveaway on the author
Rachelle Rogers Knight's blog,
Bibliobabe. Come back tomorrow, when I will have my review of this book up, but as a preview, I'll say that you should get this book!
The God of the Hive by
Laurie R. King was a win via Twitter. Right now, I need to hide a bit. Because I have to confess that I have not read this series. What's worse -- I had not heard about it either until I won the book. I was quite aghast and ashamed when I realized that this is the 10th book of the Mary Russell series. I should definitely go grab the preceding books, but I have a question for those of you who read some part of this series.
Is it necessary to read it in order?

I also received
Ann Putnam's
Full Moon at Noontide: A Daughter's Last Goodbye courtesy of
Pump Up your Book! book tour. The synopsis of this book interested me enough to want to request it. This memoir takes the reader through Ann's life and her relationships with her mother, father and uncle, and also talks of losing her husband to cancer. Definitely a tear-jerker, and I've read a couple of moving reviews.

Finally, I also received THE book I was waiting for -
The Passage by
Justin Cronin. Ever since this book was delivered, I've been staring at it and at my calendar, wondering when I can get to it. I do have a few books to read asap, so I may not get to it till July. But here's hoping that I get through my current reads as soon as possible, so that I can open up summer's much-anticipated read, before the summer if up! After reading the many reviews of this book so far, it's quite hard to keep myself off it.
Have you read any of these books?
