I have two weeks worth of library loot! Here's what came home with me:

I found this book on the librarian suggestion shelf.  I'll be reading Tigers in Red Weather by Liza Klaussmann for the 2013 Colorful Reading Challenge.








I read Kelly O'Connor McNees' The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott a few years ago, which I loved by the way.  So when I saw In Need of a Good Wife on the new titles shelf, I couldn't resist putting it in my bag.
Another book that was picked out of the new titles shelf. I love my cosy mysteries, and who doesn't love buttons?  I'm hoping that Hot Button by Kylie Logan will satisfy my inner sleuth.








I can't remember the last time I read a novel by Luanne Rice.  While I was browsing the paperback racks, I found The Deep Blue Sea for Beginners.  I'll be reading this book for 2013 Colorful Reading Challenge.









The Lady Most Willing, historical romance written by Quinn, James and Brockway.  Yep, automatic must read. 
I'm trying to catch-up with this series. It's one of my all-time favorite paranormal cosy mystery series.  Vision Impossible is book 9 of A Psychic Eye Mystery series by Victoria Laurie.
I've been seeing Splintered alot around the blog world.  I had to give it a try. Gorgeous cover, isn't it?
Finally! It's my turn to read The Casual Vacancy

Here are my goodies:


Jian Ghomeshi's memoir 1982.  I've been waiting ages for this book, really looking forward to reading it.
 This year I'm planning on reading all of the Canada Reads selections before the discussion airs, so next on my list is Jane Urquhart's Away.
 I'm going full Canadiana on you! Hehe... Sussex Drive is where our Prime Minister lives...Oh those walls... Anyway Sussex Drive by Linda Svendsen is novel where the focus is on the women behind the power figures.  Hmmm...can't wait.
Bella Fortuna by Rosanna Chiofalo. I couldn't resist picking this one up.  The cover is beautiful.  I'm hoping that the book will be good.
Another book that I've been waiting for a while now...Chris Colfer's The Land of Stories The Wishing Spell.
