This week I received two books in my mailbox.
From PaperBackSwap I received The Russian Concubine by Kate Furnivall. I have been wanting to get to some of her books for awhile now and there is no longer an excuse.
The other book was something I bought off of Ebay and will be a huge factor in an upcoming event toward the end of April - The Circus Fire by Stewart O'Nan. I listened to this non-fiction on audio a couple of weeks ago and loved it and knew that I needed to get the book because there were lots of pictures in there (which you just don't get on a cd). Beyond that, as this is going to be the focal point of my event, I wanted to have the physical book to refer back to. Get excited for Circus Disaster Week!
Did anything exciting arrive in your mailbox this week?

ReplyDeleteI cannot wait!!!
Audra - I'm super excited about it too! It seems that I have had a thing for disasters lately - Triangle Fire, Titanic, Circus - I don't know if that should be telling me something! lol.
ReplyDeleteI remember hearing The Russian Concubine was good so I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to be including the story of Mary the elephant who was hung in TN?
ReplyDeleteLibrarypat - I actually hadn't heard about that one, and I don't think it was mentioned in the book. I will have to go research it - thanks!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading your thoughts on Russian Concubine. I received 3 books.
