Either leave a comment with a link to your blog post about your Friday Finds, or share your ‘finds’ in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks!
My FRIDAY FINDS this week:
((roll your mouse over each title to read the Amazon.com description))
”SPEAKING OF BOOKS” by Rob Kaplan ~ I found this while browsing on Amazon.com for “books about books”. This one sounds good!
”NOTHING REMAINS THE SAME: REREADING & REMEMBERING” by Wendy Lesser ~ another that I found while browsing for “books about books” on Amazon. It was poorly reviewed, but the review made me want to read it just that much more! It sounds just like my kind of book!
”SHADE” by John B. Olson ~ I found this on one of my friend’s blogs, I think. It’s a Christian suspense thriller, and sounds interesting!
”EVERYTHING NICE” by Ellen Shanman ~ I don’t even remember where I heard of this one. It’s a chick lit about a woman who goes about “reinventing” herself. Sounds cute.
“THE GIFT OF RAIN” by Tan Twan Eng ~ I’m pretty sure I heard of this one either by reading someone’s blog, or when an online book group friend mentioned it. Either way, it sounded interesting, so I added it to my TBR list.
Thanks for playing along! 
The books I discovered this week are childrens/young adults:
Evernight by Claudia
Peter and the Starcatchers, Peter and the Shadow Thieves, and Peter and the Secret Rundoon by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson.
If you love the Twilight saga – you will adore Evernight. I received a review copy from the author yesterday and stayed up until 2:15 finishing it. I couldn’t put it down! I’ll have a review up later this afternoon.

*Speaking of Books* does look good! (Books about books … reminds me of a funhouse mirror with never-ending reflections!)

There are so many books about books these days, I’ll never get caught up! Oh well, it’s fun to try anyway. hehe

This is a teensy bit late. I’ve never done it before and decided at the last minute to do it!

Oops, I’ve had my post up all day but I forgot to come over her and link up. Here it is now!
Hi Miz,
Who’s the friend who wrote about SHADE? I can’t believe how many people have been talking about it — especially considering it won’t be released until October 1.
John — I do believe it was my friend Deena, of “A Peek At My Bookshelf” … click here: http://deenasbooks.blogspot.com/2008/05/shade-by-john-b-olson.html. Deena reviews books, so perhaps that’s how she got it early.
Late again with my post this week…I made one GREAT find, though!
