Friday Finds-March 6
Should Be Reading asks you to share what books you discovered this week that interest you!
One of the books that caught my eye this week was The Lost City of Z by David Grann that I found over at A Bookworm's World:
This book is described as a true story of an expedition to the Amazon. In 1925 Percy Fawcett headed an expedition to the Amazon and was never heard of again. David Grann was so interested in this story he went on his own expedition and followed Fawcett's route. It sounds like a fascinating and intense novel that will keep me on the edge of my seat! Luanne also mentioned that Brad Pitt may be starring in a movie based on this book. Ok, so that may have helped to pique my interest!
Another book that caught my attention was Keeping Hannah Waiting by Dave Clarke, that I found at Diary of an Eccentric.
Here is a what Hologram Publishing has to say about Keeping Hannah Waiting:
Keeping Hannah Waiting, the new novel from bestselling author Dave Clarke, makes a poignant plea for tolerance and forgiveness of the past, but above all, it is a tribute to the power of everlasting love.
Anna also had a wonderful interview with Dave Clarke that made me even more interested in this book. You can read the interview here.
So what new books did you find this week?

The Lost City of Z sounds really, really good. I am going to add it to my TBR pile which is a bad, bad thing since I am so far behind.
Anaa's review of Keep Hannah Waiting caused me to add it to my wish list too. I think the cover's great too.
I really liked reading The Lost City of Z, and I hope you enjoy it too (when you get to it - I know how big the TBR pile can grow).
The Lost City of Z does sound good. I have Keeping Hannah Waiting-just need some time to read it.
Hey Jo-Jo - I'm glad you enjoyed my review of The Lost City of Z. Thanks again for the award and I've passed it on today.
Thanks for linking to my review and interview! I hope you get a chance to read the book soon.
