Susan’s Book Talk: Mail Call!
I forgot a book in last week’s Mail Call!
I got a super duper copy of Rebecca Cantrell’s A Trace of Smoke — from the author, herself. She even signed it!
I won it from… I want to say Number One Novels. Really. You should think I’d keep better track of these things. One thing I WILL be keeping track of is this book. It’s going to go into my Book Club bag, which has been looking a little empty of late.
I know where The Jewel Trader of Pegu came from! Paperbackswap.com, thankyouverymuch. I’ve read really good things about it, and then the Tour Manager’s mom raved about it to me and … that did it. I brought the synopsis to my book club and … it’s on our list.
And if you remember this post, I’ve got a VERY cool update of it.
Ms. Olivia Brynn herself saw my post — and sent me her one and only print copy so I can review it!! Wasn’t that amazing of her??? The book is called Falling Star and I am DYING to get reading it. I’ve got a few in the queue in front of it (go figure), but I’m trying!!
I swear, when it rains, it pours. Lots have been showing up here for my two passions: Jewish lit for my book club, and rock and roll lit for me.
Life is good.
Be sure to look at The Printed Page and The Story Siren for other good lives and better books, eh?
Oh, and those of you looking for the links, pictures, and tales of the weekend writer’s retreat, stay tuned. It’ll come during the week, I promise. I need sleep and processing, in that order. It was quite the adventure…
Both books sound really good. Enjoy them!
