Friday Finds: 5 June 2009

Friday Finds is a weekly event hosted by mizb17 at Should Be Reading. Participants are asked to share with other bloggers about the new-to-you books found during the week – books you either want to add to your TBR (to be read) list, or that you just heard about that sounded interesting.

Just two new finds this week. I think I may have first read about the Aldridge book in last week's New York Times Book Review. Not sure where I heard about the Waters.

The Man with Kaleidoscope Eyes: The Art of Alan Aldridge. This one really takes me back. Alan Aldridge's book, The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics was a favorite of mine back in the day. I remember spending hour upon hour just pouring over the artwork, picking out all the references. Great meditation material. Better than drugs.

The Little Stranger, by Sarah Waters. A novel of psychological suspense. I've already got one of her other novels (Affinity) on my TBR list, and this one looks good, too.

  1. I love the cover of that Sarah Waters book. I've never read her before but if it is psycological suspense, I ought to take a look.
    Thanks for the reco

  3. I agree with Kaye, the Sarah Waters cover is lovely. I love psychological suspense novels, so I'll be adding that to my TBR list.

  4. I saw The Little Stranger somewhere else recently but totally forgot about it until just now, the internet is HUGE! I am forever seeing interesting things and then don't know where to find them again, I'm so happy we do Friday Finds ;)

  5. I also love the cover of that Sarah Waters book. I don't think I have a Friday Find today...but I haven't had much time for blogging this week.

  7. I just discovered "Little Stranger" at B&N the other night and meant to tell you about it. I almost picked it up but really feel like I need to work on what I have piled up already.

Welcome and thanks for leaving me a comment. I love to hear from visitors.

Also, please note that while I appreciate the thought, I don't play the blog awards game. I think you all deserve awards! But you might think about becoming a follower of my blog -- that would really be the best award.
