Loot list!

[megwrites]

I went to the Book Barn today and since we have a little wedding money to spend after bills and what not, I splurged on some really great looking books.

I list my finds for you so you can be jealous of my new reading material. I have a little more money held back so that I can buy a few newer books that I've had my eye on and that I knew I would not find at the Book Barn. So with no futher ado:


Naguib Mahfouz - Thebes At War
Libba Bray - A Great and Terrible Beauty*
Noga Arikha - Passions and Tempers: A History of the Humours
Antonia Fraser - Marie Antoinette: The Journey
Stanley Wolpert - A New History of India
Tan Twan Eng - The Gift of Rain
Alison Weir - The life of Elizabeth I
Nathaniel Tarn - Neruda: Selected Poems
Pamela Freeman - Blood Ties*
Tobias Buckell - Crystal Rain*
Freda Warrington - Elfland*
Jay Lake - Mainspring*
Patrick Rothfuss - The Name of the Wind*


My only dilemma is which of these books to dig into first. So do I jump right into a genre read or should I get my historical fix first?




*Starred books are SF/F genre finds.
