This Week in Books

This Week In Books is all about great bloggers and the books they are reading! We are trying to support each other by sharing posts from the previous week. I invite you to take a look at some of these posts. These blogs are all wonderful, and promise some great reading!

Stop by Devourer of Books and read the review Jen wrote for The Tory Widow by Christine Blevins - I've got this book at the top of my tbr pile and can't wait to read it. . . I LOVED Christine's first book Midwife of the Blue Ridge.

Amy at My Friend Amy's has written a post about a chain of one dollar bookstores in Southern California, adding that she plans to make the post a regular feature.

Kathy of Bermudaonion's Weblog has written a review of Zig-Zagging, which is a memoir written by Tom Wilson Jr, the son of the creator of Ziggy!

Shelley over at Write for a Reader has written a review Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson. After reading this review, I understand more about the book, and can see why it is getting good reviews. Sounds like the author is tackling a tough subject (eating disorders) in a very readable way.

Trish over at Hey Lady! Whatcha Readin'? has a post that she talks about the possibility of an upcoming book blogger retreat in Portland, OR July 18-19th. I'm hoping to go, stop by and read about the details. . . also let me know if you would be interested in meeting near Seattle, WA June 22nd!

Marta of Marta's Meanderings is sharing information on the Cheerios Helping Hearts and cholesterol, and she gets to give away two freshwater pearl bracelets!

Stop by Beth Fish Reads and check out her review and interview of Zig-Zagging by Tom Wilson. Any fans of Ziggy out there? Be sure and check out this post!

Carrie over at Books and Movies has shared some great information about her favorite mystery series, and what she likes about mysteries in general! After reading this post, I think I'm missing out on some great books.

This morning, Kelly over at Enroute to Life has some great posts up this week: a (new to me) meme called Thursday Thunks, a book review of Deadly Charm by Claudia Mair Burney, and some great giveaways, including three copies of Drood on audio cd, which I would LOVE to get my hands on!! :)

Well, that is all for this week - I hope you will stop by and visit a few of these posts!
