A very, very slow week here in my mailbox. Only one book came my way. But it's a good one and one that I gave away here on my blog: The Girl Who Stopped Swimming by Joshilyn Jackson. Since I didn't get a copy for myself, I was tickled to win one from Amy at Chic Book Chick. She's always got loads of giveaways going on so be sure to check her out for the latest. Also, don't forget to check out my Cinco de Mayo giveaway for 5 copies of Robin Hemley's wonderful non-fiction work called Do-Over: In which a forty-eight-year-old father of three returns to kindergarten, summer camp, the prom, and other embarrassments. It's really worth the read and the giveaway doesn' end until May 27th so there's still time to throw your sombrero into the ring.
