      Oh, you must read 84 Charing Cross Road.
      I read it for your themed reading challenge, books about books, and it was lovely.

      My new book club just recommended “84 Charing Cross Road” the other night as something we could read together, as a group. I’d heard of it before, but hadn’t really looked into it. It’s starting to sound really appealing. :)

      I’ve been reading the Krasikov book this week- it is very good. I hope you get your copy from SA. I’m going to buy a copy for my library.

      I want to read One More Year and The Secret Scripture!

      I love requesting titles from Shelf Awareness but it drives me crazy not knowing if I will get them or not. I’m that way with Guernica!

      84 Charing Cross Road is SO VERY lovely. I read it a year or so ago after I happened to catch the film on Turner Classic Movies. I think you will adore it.

      *One More Year* is on my wish list, too. A lot of great short story collections have been coming to my attention lately, since I blogged about our book group’s trouble with discussing them.

      Christopher Meeks (his new collection is *Months and Seasons*) wrote a great guest post with some suggestions.

      Marie: If SA doesn’t send it, I’ll probably end up buying the book.

      Shana: I know what you mean - I hate the suspense! Once in a while a publisher will email and let you know they’re sending the book, but more often than not you just have to wait and wonder!

      Andi: I think I will too!

      Dawn: I love short story collections but I admit to not always making the time for them. I’ve tried to change that this year. I’ll have to check out the Meeks collection.
