Three books showed up in my mailbox last week, so this is a legitimate Mailbox Monday post. In addition, I used some of my Reading Local contest winnings at Annie Bloom's Books for three other great finds.
IN THE MAIL:
Paul Newman: A Life by Shawn Levy (from the Internet Review of Books)
Homer & Langley by E.L. Doctorow (from LibraryThing's Early Reviewer program)
Good for the Jews by Debra Spark (from my friends at the University of Michigan Press)
FROM ANNIE BLOOM'S BOOKS:
The Naming of Names: The Search for Order in the World of Plants by Anna Pavord
Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman (recommended by my buddy Laura at Artscatter)
Rereadings: Seventeen Writers Revisit Books They Love, edited by Anne Fadiman
