I am back after a few crazy weeks. How did I get into trouble?
- Well I accepted to schedule way too many reviews, but really, with so many great new books out there recently, how could I have refused?
- I also had a very busy October month on France Book Tours with many tours together. By the way, have you seen the exciting tours we have coming up in 2015? I just launched a tour with M. J. Rose yesterday! France Book Tours is proud to feature her for the 3rd time already!
- I also had to translate for work a 40,000 word book into French in a very short time
But all these nice things being other, it’s time now to share with you some of my recent exciting book life

Innovators sounds really good!! Glenn Beck just came out with a book about the heroes and villains who made America. You should check it out as it sounds similar 😉
I hope to see you around my blog,

thanks for the recommendation, I’m not sure which book it is though. Also, I may be wrong, but I suspect Glenn Beck’s writing style may not be as high quality as Isaacson

sounds like a common blogger disease, maybe we should call it overschedulosis, lol. I have also 6 reviews scheduled for Jan, but fortunately, I already have 4 of them on my shelf, so we’ll start in December…

I wholeheartedly agree with you that no matter how many books I have, I can’t pass any new ones up. 🙂
When I saw Shadow of The Wind, my heart went YEAH. I loved that book, and loved it so much I “had” to go to Barcelona to find all the places mentioned in the book. 🙂
I hope you like it as much as I did. ENJOY Shadow of the Wind and all your books. You definitely have a nice selection.
