Mailbox Monday (July 21)

Marcia at The Printed Page is hosting a new weekly book blog event entitled Mailbox Monday, so although I didn’t get much in my mailbox this past week, I thought I would mention the two new books that came my way...

The first I received is So Long at the Fair by Christina Schwarz, which is an ARC that came directly from the publisher. I requested it because I enjoyed Schwarz’s first book, Drowning Ruth.

I also met up with a fellow LTer, Nitestar, aka Tina at Bookshipper, who gave me her ARC of The Girl in Saskatoon: A Meditation on Memory and Murder by Sharon Butala. I’ve loved Butala’s non-fiction in the past, so although this doesn’t seem like my usual cup of tea I’m intrigued enough to give it a try.
