On to the books!
The most exciting new arrival is Caleb's Crossing, Geraldine Brooks' new novel, out next month. Like lots of readers I was a big fan of People of the Book and I'm enjoying this new one very much. I'm almost done- I should finish today- and I'll have a review soon. It's very different from People but I think this book will be very popular.
Last and by no means least is Sandro Veronesi's award-winning Quiet Chaos; I couldn't find a good picture of the U.S. cover so I used the French version. It looks like a great book and I can't wait to read it. I might have to put a month aside just for Italian books soon, I have so many appealing ones in the wings.
That's it for me- what's new on your bookshelf this week?

Congrats on your new job. Great finds. Have heard a lot about Brooks. I have had some interesting books would share it fully next week but it includes one from Nadal El Saadawi an Egyptian novelist. And another from Ghana's first president (Kwame Nkrumah), definitely a non-fiction.
Congrats on your new job!
