I went book shopping today! (And I'm totally gonna brag about it!) The haul:
Charlie Jane Anders:
All The Birds In The Sky
Genevieve Cogman:
The Burning Page (I have the first two books in this series, but haven't yet read them.)
Joanna Trollope:
Sense & Sensibility (A modern retelling of the Jane Austen novel; I was curious and it was remaindered.)
Jim Butcher:
The Aeronaut's Windlass (Recommended by a fellow Butcher fan; also remaindered, so I got a lovely hardcover)
The following books I actually bought for my grandmother who is in assisted living and reads
a LOT. (My aunt and I supply all her books.) I will probably also end up reading them at some point; since Gram doesn't have a lot of room, I take books away when she's finished with them.
Rhys Bowen:
A Royal Threesome This is actually an omnibus of the first three Royal Spyness mysteries.
Vicki Leon:
Uppity Women Speak Their Minds.
John L. Allen, Jr.:
The Francis Miracle: Inside the Transformation of the Pope and the Church (I'm not sure if she'll like this; she'll probably complain that she's not Catholic, but she'll read it, anyway, probably.)
Malala Yousafzai:
I am Malala I have no idea if she'll be interested in this or not, but she'll probably still read it.
Anne-Marie O'Connor:
The Lady in Gold
Gram complained to my aunt that all of the books we give her are about The War, which is...more or less true. We've concentrated on giving her WWII-era books because that was when she was a young woman. She lived in Oklahoma and worked as a secretary for the Red Cross while my grandfather was deployed...somewhere. I'm not actually sure where Grampa went; all I know is that the ship he was bound for was later torpedoed and sunk near Alaska and if his orders hadn't been changed at literally the last second, I probably wouldn't be typing this. Or if I were, I wouldn't be me. You see.
So that's why I picked up Malala and the Pope for her, as well as the Uppity Woman book. Something completely different.
