Mailbox Monday (March 15)

Mailbox Monday button
Two books made their way to my mailbox this week. First, inspired by a giveaway (which I won!) at Jeanne’s blog, Necromancy Never Pays, I ordered The Children Star by Joan Slonczewski. Don’t be put off by the cover—this is the third book (of four) in the Elysium Cycle, which started with A Door into Ocean, one of my favourite books of all times. (The Children Star was the only book I was missing from the series.)

Second, I received The Girls from Ames: A Story of Women and a Forty-Year Friendship by Jeffrey Zaslow from Penguin USA for a TLC Book Tour in April.

    It's so funny that you said "don't be put off by the cover" - I saw the cover and IMMEDIATELY wanted the book, without knowing anything about it! :--)

    More Slonczewski is on its way to you, and there's a surprise! I've been reading Brain Plague, the last one in the Elysium Cycle, and been interested in re-discovering how it all fits together.

    I hope you enjoy The Girls From Ames. I read it a few months back and really liked it. It also made me realize even more how valuable my women friends are!
