Books I need to read

I love books and I love to read! And most of the time, just checking them out from the library is not enough. I have to own them and have them in my collection. But I seem to be falling behind in my reading. Here are some recent purchases that are in my "to be read" stack!
1. The Host by Stephanie Meyer. Since I loved all the Twilight books, I figured I would like this too.
2. Bringing Home the Birkin by Michael Tonello. It is the story of a man who figures out the Hermes Birkin handbag system for getting the purse. the book is so cool with the cover actually looking like a Birkin bag. Here is the book's website.
3. The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon. This one just caught my eye.
4. Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer. I have read the first two books in the Twilight series and this in the third. AND I will be seeing the movie this evening - YEaH!
5. A Charmed Life by Liza Campbell. This is the true story about the life of a girl raised in Macbeth's Castle.

From the top:

1. Wild Rose: Rose O'Neal Greenhow, Civil War Spy by Ann Blackman.
2. The Daphne du Maurier Companion - I really want to learn more about this lady.
3. The Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maugham - I finally saw the movie and now I want to read the book.
4. Black Dahlia Avenger by Steve Hodel - This former detective believes his father killed the Black Dahlia. I love to read true crime.

As you can see, I have lots to keep me busy. I just need to find the time!
