HAPPY FRIDAY!
I read a review of Carnival by Elizabeth Bear recently and it sounded so good that I immediately went out to Paperback Swap and ordered it. It came in and is still sitting on my desk while I read other things! hehe. I'm such an impulse buyer.
"A planet like this," Michelangelo said, "and they're wearing nonrenewables and doing who-knows-what to the ecosystem. Haven't seen forests like that--"

I too am a terrible impulse buyer. Books sound good so I add them to my TBR stack.
This one arrived and I started reading immediately: Waking the Witch by Kelley Armstrong. Happy reading!
Love your quote... tell us more!

Scary quote...I, too, have such a huge TBR pile - but it's fun!
Mine is Agatha Christie!

Nice tease and it says so much about the book too!
My teaser is up too, and not so teasing...

I love the bookswap sites! I have huge wishlists on PBS and Bookmooch and am able to clear off my shelves almost every week. Such a good idea!

Kah Woei - I would love to tell you but, I haven't read it yet! I don't think so though.
Buffy - if you mean Michelangelo the painter no, I think it's another character.
Gaby - You just created a monster! I didn't know about BookMooch til just now...
I think your Blog if awesome - if you stop by mine, you can pick up a Versatile Blogger Award I want to pass on to you!
I really enjoy the Friday 56 meme. I see another blogger has already nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award. Please accept my nomination as well. Obviously one set of lists should work for both nominations. Congratulations! I have nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award. Please access it at your convenience and be sure to pass it on to other deserving bloggers. Enjoy!
I am an impulse buyer too..LOL
