"Leonardo's Swans" I just had to have because of Allie's amazing review of it over at Hist-Fic Chick, I got lucky in getting a hardback copy that is literally brand new.
Heather at The Maiden's Court also gave a great review of "Dark Angels" by Karleen Koen and it was the first book I requested.
Thank you Heather and Allie for cluing me into 2 new books that are a wonderful addition to my library. Both are beautiful books.

What a great haul! Sounds like an interesting program.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, LEONARDO'S SWANS is wonderful. I heartily recommend it, too!
I just could not resist it, what really drew me in was that Allie mentioned it has notes from his journal. It has beautiful cover, my daughter said "why is she NAKED'? LOL
ReplyDeleteOH, it explains even why the lady on the cover is naked. I really liked this book...so good!! I am definitely going to have to sign up for paperback swap for sure!!
ReplyDeleteI would have traded Breaking Dawn too its awful
ReplyDeleteI have the Gunievere trilogy and Dark Angels so let me know how you like them. If you like Arthur legends I highly recommend Queen of Camelot by Nancy McKenzie. Its the Arthur legend told through Guinevere's eyes from her childhood into old age (there is a sequel called Grail Prince dealing with Lancelot's son) I love the relationship between Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot. There is love there but a bond of brotherhood between Lancelot and Arthur thats so wonderful as well. Its truly a gem. I know I havent posted a lot since my big news but I hope to get something up this week in the form of reviews.
Oh and I have leonardo's Swans on my bookshelf waiting for its turn on my never ending TBR list too.
I'm glad you joined! Looks like you got some great books! All of the Plaidy novels they have on there I already have :(
ReplyDeleteI love paperbackswap too. I have gotten some books I have really wanted and gotten rid of some books I could have easily done without. I'm glad you got Dark Angels - I hope you like it. I too am very interested in Leonardo's Swans.
ReplyDeleteGosh Allie now you make me want to read it even more!
ReplyDeleteI hate the Twilight books, sorry but I do. I tried to read the first one and it was a snooze. If I want to read about vampires I really like Anne Rice. At least in her books the vampires are really old and each book focuses on one time period. Vampires through the ages are more appealing to me than ones that only live modern day.
I have had Queen of Camelot by Nancy McKenzie on my list since you first told me about it. Well I have a whole post going up soon with a list of TBR books.
I wish I could say I have them all Christen Trent is an avid Plaidy collector she has many first editions, I am so envious!
Thank you Heather I am dying to read it but have to finish review copies first, poop. But it is giving me incentive to to get them done. My reward is Dark Angels.
I didn't like Leonardo's Swans and couldn't finish it.
ReplyDeleteIt's shame that paperbackswap isn't international.
An international swap would be nice, that stinks.
ReplyDeleteI love paperbackswap! The Guenevere trilogy is wonderful...I got the first novel at a bookstore near the Putney Bridge tube stop when I was in London in 2001. Its really is great.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul you got!
Lucky dog, I can not wait to read it. Once I get through the others in line.
ReplyDeletebookmooch is int'l, just not as easily navigated as Paperbackswap is.
ReplyDeleteBut it's there for Int'L =)
