Words from the Well, and more

UPDATE: Come Monday-ish I'll be posting a new review and a giveaway - in one!  Can't wait.  These things make me excited.  But until then you get some ramblings about where I'm at.  I've recently revamped the site a little bit (fonts! colors!) and added a couple of new widgets, with more of those to come once I decide on some I actually like.  Suggestions are welcome, as always.  I must admit I'm good with the reading lately, so after this review comes out, I'll have a new one for you very soon, of another Goodreads acquisition from earlier that I just never had time to read - and that would be The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly which came out in 2009 and I've been excited to read for... a good month or two, the poor thing sitting on the shelf that whole time while I struggled with my own plantlife.

Anyway, here's a recap of the past 2 weeks with a long-awaited Words from the Well:

From Paperbackswap:

(the rest of Yasmine Galenorn's awesome Chintz 'n China series):
Legend of the Jade Dragon
Murder Under a Mystic Moon
A Harvest of Bones
One Hex of a Wedding

Prodigal Summer - Barbara Kingsolver (can I love her w/o ever having read 1 book of hers?)
Garden Spells - Sarah Addison Allen (see my review of The Girl Who Chased the Moon)
Tithe (Modern Tale of Faerie, Book 1) - Holly Black (the 3rd acquired free from local library)

That's all for now - keep your eyes peeled for Monday next, when I'll have Calpurnia Tate up and some notes on what's up after that. My new plant class is treating me surprisingly well so far, and I am just more and more hopeful and excited about this blog's future.  So as always, suggestions and comments always welcome and encouraged, and I also want to say thanks for following, all you folks who do so.  Stay tuned!
