Given my post about scaling back, it may be obvious to say that these acquisition posts are likely to be less frequent in future, but I will continue to write them when appropriate. As always I’ve left out books that I’ve already reviewed.
Ai Mi: Under The Hawthorn Tree – Monday’s post covered this quite extensively.
Andra Watkins: To Live Forever – When I saw the cover of this book, I couldn’t help thinking I’ve seen it on many blogs before. I don’t know if this is correct, and I’m not sure whether or not I’ll like the book, but agreeing to review it seemed the right thing to do.
Joanna Hickson: The Agincourt Bride – I plan to purchase a print copy so I’m seeing this free download as purely for earlier-than-would-be-otherwise review purposes. Thanks to Jessica for the head’s up.
Mingmei Yip: Peach Blossom Pavilion – This appears to be similar to Memoirs Of A Geisha, which I liked. Downloaded with my Asian lit plan in mind.
Raffaella Barker: From A Distance – My latest check of Netgalley yielded this. Another of my plans is to read more literary fiction as it’s fallen by the wayside.
Have you read/do you hope to read any of the above?

The one by Ai Mi is the only one I knew because it is also in Spanish, but I haven’t read any of them.
Hope you enjoy them!

Thank you for the mention Charlie. I hope you like your new books. I am looking forward to reading The Agincourt Bride and Peach Blossom Pavilion.

These sound like great choices, Charlie. I like the sound of Peach Blossom Pavilion. I’ll have to look for that one.
