New Books, Spring Break Edition

The mail brought me lots of books this week, as did some shopping, and, between traveling and procrastinating on homework, I got a lot of reading done - I finished three books in three days (can't remember the last time I did that!) and started two others. It's been a great week.

For review:
Evangeline by Ben Farmer (Overlook Press)
Noah Barleywater Runs Away by John Boyne (Random House)
The Butterfly's Daughter by Mary Alice Monroe (GoodReads)

Won:
The Revenge of the Radioactive Lady by Elizabeth Stuckey-French (thanks, Autumn at From the TBR Pile)
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan (thanks, Scarlett's Scraps)
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon (thanks, Erin at Quitting My Day Job)
All the Lives He Led by Frederik Pohl (thanks, Suzanne at Preternatura)
Wildefire by Karsten Knight (Simon & Schuster Galley Grab)
The Fool's Girl by Celia Rees (Rees' Facebook page)

Bought (used, of course):
Grendel by John Gardner
The People of the Mist by H. Rider Haggard
The Land That Time Forgot by Edgar Rice Burroughs
