Mailbox Monday: Beyond the Ripples and Howard Jacobson

Two new books came my way last week. What books came into your house?



Beyond the Ripples by Dede Montgomery. Described as "a multigenerational mystery," this new novel brings together a cast of small town characters connected by a note found in a bottle in the Columbia river. It sounds like a Pacific Northwest version of a Maeve Binchy book and I can't wait to read it!



Whatever It Is, I Don't Like It by Howard Jacobson. I've enjoyed a couple of Jacobson's novels, so grabbed this collection of his newspaper columns on a whim.
