This week's book haul includes a book I've already read, some review copies and some serendipity.You or Someone Like You, by Chandler Burr, came out last spring; I reviewed it and interviewed the author. I bought the paperback because I'm in it- my interview with Burr was excerpted and published in the P.S. section at the back, along with an interview by fellow blogger Carla Castelar of Bibliolust. Thank you Chandler & HarperCollins for this honor and congrats to Carla!
Yosl Rakover Talks to God, by Zvi Kolitz, is a Holocaust novella I found at a local used bookstore. Looks fascinating.
The Wrong Blood, by Manuel de Lope, comes out in September and came to me in ARC form courtesy of Other Press.
Wherever You Go, by Joan Leegant, came to me for review from the author.
The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, by Aimee Bender, and Blue Nude, by Elizabeth Rosner, are two recent releases I picked up this week at the bookstore.Have you read any of these? What did you think? What's new on your shelf?

I'm so excited that your interview is in the paperback version of Burr's book! I'm really interested in The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake.
ReplyDeleteSo very cool that you were featured in the book!! I will have to try to grab a copy of that and give it a look. I am also excited for you that you got a copy of Lemon Cake. I remember you saying that you really wanted to read it. I am going to be grabbing that one as well.
ReplyDeleteThe Wrong Blood has caught my attention too. And The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake is everywhere but that always makes me think twice about picking it up. I should feel shame for my book snobbery. :) Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on having your interview included in the paperback version - what an honor!
ReplyDeleteI can't help but think the title The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake is amazingly intriguing.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to be quoted on a book jacket - AWESOMEness times 10.
I look forward to reading your thoughts on Lemon Cake. It sounds like such a great read but seems to be getting mixed reviews.
ReplyDeleteHow cool that your interview made it into the book. I'll definitely have to check it out!
