Monday Mailbox

An embarrassment of riches for me This past week's mailbox arrivals:

About a Girl by Lindsey Kelk came from Harper and TLC Book Tours for a blog tour.

This tale of a woman who takes on a persona not her own when her own life is in the dumper only to find herself in over her head sounds like a lot of fun.

Head Case by Cole Cohen came from Henry Holt and LibraryThing Early Reviewers.

I thoroughly enjoy memoirs about unique situations and this one about a woman who looks for answers to her struggle with learning disabilities and finds that there's a hole in her brain sounds like a fascinating one.

The Year My Mother Came Back by Alice Eve Cohen came from Algonquin.

A memoir about a very difficult year in Cohen's life, one which brings her mother, dead for thirty years back to her, this really appeals to me.

My Chinese-America by Allen Gee came from Santa Fe Writers Project and Poetic Book Tours for a blog tour.

I did an independent study on Asian-American literature way back in graduate school after taking a fascinating class in college so this collection of essays should bring me back to that time and offer me a window into how the writing about being Asian-American has changed in the past twenty years. I am terribly curious and can't wait to dive in and see.
