Friday Finds (hosted by Should Be Reading)

What great books did you hear about/discover this past week?
Share with us your FRIDAY FINDS!

Since I haven’t listed Friday Finds for a while now, I have been accumulating book titles. After culling through that list, here are my favorites of which I am most excited to get my hands on. They come from a variety of sources (many of which are now lost in the sands of time) and so I’ll dispense with that part of this and just give some blanket thanks to one and all. (Though, if I had to pick … I’d have to say that the one on this list that tickles me the most is Jeff Burk’s Shatnerquake … the premise is just too funny, and c’mon … how can you resist a cover like that?)
