This week's haul!
I have decided to start including my nonfiction acquisitions, as well. Although I have created a second blog, meant strictly for nonfiction books, I haven't been able to dedicate much time to it. That's because I have two jobs, so my time is pretty limited....

This is a novel based on the life of a
little-known Renaissance artist, named
Sofonisba Anguissola. Unfortunately, female
artists have until very recently not
received their due in the history of art.
Anguissola's story is riveting!
She becomes court painter to King Felipe II
of Spain, and is reluctantly drawn into
court intrigue.

I've been wanting to read the novels
of this very talented young author
for some time now...
I might very well begin with this one.
This mermaid story sounds
like a different take on the traditional type
of story. It has a scary atmosphere...
I'm intrigued!

I had never heard of this author before,
but that cover drew me in.
It looks very intense, as well as romantic!
Of course, I love the plot, which
features vampires, my favorite
paranormal creatures!
I have already put the first four books
on my Amazon wish list.
