Monday Mailbox

This was a much subdued week for me on the book acquisitions front. I know I generally don't post books I've bought so you all have no way of knowing but usually my book buying trumps the numbers in the mailbox. Well, this week, I only found two books in my mailbox and I didn't buy a single book. But a much less acquisitive week is a good thing for me right now as I'm scurrying to meet a deadline that seems to be looming suddenly. Anyway, here's what I did find in the mailbox this week:

Ferris Beach by Jill McCorkle.
This came from the great folks at Algonquin Books. When I opened the package, I smiled as I pulled the book out. Not because I don't want to read the book (I definitely do). But because I am such a sucker for Algonquin books that I think I already own almost their entire backlist. And yes, this is one that I already own (in hardback no less!). This one is very pretty though and will ensure that I actually read it sooner rather than later.

The Resurrectionist by Jack O'Connell
Another one that came from the amazing Algonquin Books people, this one is likely to stretch my reading a bit. My husband read the back and thought it would definitely be up his alley, especially the comic book world aspect.
