What's New on the Shelf 8/24

 Just a couple of new things this week! But I've been reading like crazy, I have, so it's okay, right?

I want to read all the Elena Ferrante I can get my hands on in preparation for the release of her next book, My Brilliant Friend, this fall. So I was glad to be able to order Troubling Love from work.


I also picked up Flann O'Brien's The Dalkey Archive at a used bookstore in Boston, Pazzo Books. This is a comic novel about a village in Ireland; I was curious about it because the Dalkey Archive Press is named for the book and I love them!

That's it for me this week. Still working on my fall-galleys post. Just been lazy! That could change any minute now.

The Flann O'Brien book looks like something that I would like, so I am glad that you got your hands on it and will be able to tell us all about it. Nice new additions! They look exciting!
