Friday Finds: August 12, 2011

Friday Finds (hosted by Should Be Reading)

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

Okay … I’m working to get back in the swing of things. In my heyday, I was posting 12-14 books under my Friday Finds. This time, however, I’m going to be scaling it back and starting with five that have me really excited. Here they are, and yes, some are old but I’m catching up here. Hope you enjoy them too!

The Fallen Sky: An Intimate History of Shooting Stars by Christopher Cokinos
Nerd Do Well: A Small Boy’s Journey to Becoming a Big Kid by Simon Pegg
The Pirates of Somalia: Inside Their Hidden World by Jay Bahadur
The President and the Assassin: McKinley, Terror, and Empire at the Dawn of the American Century by Scott Miller
Shock Value: How a Few Eccentric Outsiders Gave Us Nightmares, Conquered Hollywood, and Invented Modern Horror by Jason Zinoman
