It was a busy week this past week for incoming books, with, it seems like, a little bit of everything. I’ve already mentioned some of the books that arrived this past week, in last week’s Friday Finds post, so I won’t mention them again here (including some romance/chick lit – I just noticed there’s none in the list below).
Essays: Fear Itself: The Horror Fiction of Stephen King, edited by Tim Underwood and Chuck Miller
Children’s Mystery: Doppelganger, by Pete Hautman and Mary Logue (review is here)
Paranormal Mystery: An Ice Cold Grave, by Charlaine Harris (just finished it, review coming soon)
Thriller/Mystery: Raven Black, by Ann Cleeves
Children’s Fantasy: The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey, by Trenton Lee Stewart
Paranormal mystery: Casting Spells, by Barbara Bretton
Mystery: Lovelace and Button (International Investigators Inc.), by James Hawkins
Mystery: The Suspect, by L.R. Wright
Children’s Fantasy: Savvy, by Ingrid Law
Children’s Novel: Clementine’s Letter, by Sara Pennypacker
Essays: 13 Ways of Looking at the Novel, by Jane Smiley (I had already read a copy of this from the library, and loved her list of 100 classics so much that I decided I needed my own copy)
Memoirs: Born Standing Up, by Steve Martin
Lots of great reading coming up!

I love memoirs, so the Steve Martin title caught my eye!

I love that you all like the sound of Steve Martin’s memoirs! I always think of him as a quiet, intelligent and brilliantly funny man. I can hardly wait to read this!
Catching up on all your posts.
Casting Spells, by Barbara Bretton looks good! I’m going to do a Google search to learn more.
Thank you for stopping by the ‘mailbox’ this week. Another mystery/thriller lover. I gave my nephew the Steve Martin book for Christmas last year and he really enjoyed it.
