As you may have noticed from yesterday’s post I am back in Toronto, and I already had items waiting for me at the library! (I also had a $3 overdue fine since I wasn’t expecting to be away from the city so long). The book sitting prettily on the holds shelf is none other than: Continue reading “Books In My Mailbox (Nov-1)”
Thanks to Jen Armentrout and hannahelt who inspired this meme. They claimed I get excited over the simplest things, so I decided to post something “simple” that I get excited over just to prove that the smallest things really do make you smile :0)

In last week’s IMM post I mentioned that I was ill and my mum went to the library to randomly pick up some books for me. This week, I still have pneumonia and am not up to leaving the house, so my wonderful mother yet again stopped at the library for me but this time for a book I chose.
Shut Out by Kody Keplinger
This novel is by the same author as The Duff, a book that I really loved, so I assume that I will like this one just as much. For those of you who are familiar with mythology and have read Aristophanes’ Lysistrata, there is a nod to the tale with the femmes boycotting their boyfriends until they smarten up.

Some of you may recall that one of my professors last school year was also a novelist. I am currently waiting for her second novel to become available at the library:
Love Struck by Chantel Simmons
This book sounds even more comical than Chantel’s debut novel, Stuck in Downward Dog, as it has secret affairs, amnesia, and human-seeking lightning.

Mistress by Midnight by Nicola Cornick
She liked words but she did not like this one with its overtones of suspicion and disrepute.
Meryn thought she looked like a very reluctant Cinderella with two beautiful fairy godmothers smiling behind her.
