Welcome to my weekly update for February 2, 2015. It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.
I didn’t have too much going on this week. My grandmother came home from the assisted living facility on Thursday afternoon. Yay! Thanks for all your well-wishes!
I finally spent all my Christmas Barnes & Noble gift cards. I think I got some goodies!
From the bottom:
Trader by Charles de Lint (I used to own this one but I think I loaned it to a former co-worker and never got it back.)
The True Story of Hansel and Gretel by Louise Murphy
A Land More Kind Than Home by Wiley Cash (I loved Mr. Cash’s second novel, This Dark Road to Mercy, so I decided to order his first)
Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman
I read The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede ages and ages ago. My sister bought her own copy when we were both still at home but I never did. Until I found this box set.

How awesome to have met Sarah Addison Allen! I would love that! She needs to venture further north some time. Lol. It's always fun but slightly hard to splurge and use up those gift cards! Looks like you got a bunch of great reads!
The Enchanted Forest Chronicles sound interesting. I will have to check these out!
I understand how George RRMartin can keep you busy.
Enjoy!

What great finds! I really enjoyed Ex Libris. I read some of those Patricia Wrede books when I was a kid, too. It's fun to revisit those books we loved!
What fun! I love spending book gift cards…enjoy!
That is a lot of books! I love gift cards! I love author events as well! Good luck with your reading this week!

Am kinda intrigued by the true story of Hansel & Gretel! Is there really such a thing?

Just read your post of your Sarah Addison Allen author event and it sounded wonderful, so nice she remembered you and the food looks yummy!
