Another set of books that I brought from the Miami International Book Fair.  This time I did not buy the books.  Author Solutions had a booth at the fair and they were giving away books at author signing events.  I snatched up a few that caught my eye.

One of my most favorite events in Miami is the Miami International Book Fair.  It's a truly amazing week long event that I have taken part in every years since I arrived in Miami in 2009.  I enjoy the author presentations and especially the book buying.

One of the booths that I always buy from is the Friends of The Library Booth.

The sad truth is that even though I have not been reading as much as I should.  I have been acquiring new books at an alarming rate.  One of the reasons is a used books store in my area that is awesome.  I have been to Biscayne Books twice and each time I leave with something.  I love this little books story.

This week I will show off the Non-Fiction Titles:

I was walking in Barnes & Nobles the other day.  I had to pick up a technical book that I had purchased.  I wasn't suppose to buy anything else.  But somehow I ended up in the clearence section and somehow I ended up buying two books that I wasn't suppose to buy.

Both books were from authors that I have read before and whose books I enjoyed.

From Audrey Niffenegger:

I read The Time Traveler's Wife and cried like a baby at the end.  I also passed it on to my roommates.  One in which also cried and the other could not get into it and gave up.  I don't know if it is fair, but I have high expections for Her Fearful Symmetry.

From Yann Martel:

I read the Life of Pi and even though it did not make me cry and I did not enjoy the end.  I did enjoy the journey enough to remember the authors name and to pick up Beatrice and Virgil without hesitation.
