GRRR

And in today's installment of "my procrastination skills are way better than my planning skills" we introduce Shopping Bag #1 of Books I Checked Out and Never Got Around to Reading's contents:

The Shadow of the Wind, Carlos Ruiz Zafron, trans. Lucia Graves (2004)
Saw it somewhere?

Some Sing, Some Cry, Ntozake Shange and Ifa Bayeza (2010)
I think...one of the authors wrote something else I had heard good things about?

Hood, Emma Donoghue (1995)
It's the woman who wrote Room, I HAD to read her other stuff. But it's this sad-looking, beat-up library binding and never jumped off my shelf at me...

The Case of the Missing Servant: from the files of Vish Puri, India's 'Most Private Investigator', Tarquin Hall (2009)
I actually started this one, and never made it past the first few chapters. Oops.

The Birth House, Ami McKay (2006)
I think I picked this one up because I read something good about McKay's recent book, and it wasn't in the library, so I requested this one instead. Something about old-timey Canada.

Rebel Yell, Alice Randall (2009)
No clue. Maybe I just saw the title on the spine one day and thought it was funny?

The Last Brother, Nathacha Appanah, trans. Geoffrey Strachan (2010/2007 French)
No idea.

The Devil All the Time, Donald Ray Pollock (2011)
NO idea. Especially because, this sounds mean, but the author sounds like a hillbilly, so I don't really see myself being instantly captivated by the spine...
