Mailbox Monday

Thanks for joining me for Mailbox Monday! MM was created by Marcia, who graciously hosted it for a long, long time, before turning it into a touring meme (details here).

Jennifer at Mrs. Q: Book Addict is hosting in July.  Please stop by her fun and pretty blog to see what she has been reading.

I got two books last week.

Even If I Am by Chasity Glass.

This is an interesting book for me. I got a paper book because that is what I read. But the e-book version (on Apple's iPad and the Kindle Fire) is enhanced with pictures, audio interviews, music, and web links that, as the author explains, "permit a truer and more personal telling."

Please visit Rose City Reader this Friday, July 27, for the "launchette" of Even If I Am.  I will share the opening sentence(s) on my Book Beginnings on Fridays post and announce the details of a GIVEAWAY. Please check back for an opportunity to win your own copy of this amazing new memoir.

Winter Journal by Paul Auster. I have his New York Trilogy on my TBR shelf. This memoir keeps popping up on my radar, so I am going to try to read it while it is still au courant.
