New books!


Barnes & Noble is having a sale and I couldn't resist. Between their sale prices and my B&N membership, I got 7 books for $20! And all but 1 are hardback. Here's the newest additions:


Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra

Dear Pussycat: Mash Notes and Missives from the Desk of Cosmopolitan's Legendary Editor by Helen Gurley Brown

Appointment with Death by Agatha Christie

Dog Days: Dispatches from Bedlam Farm by Jon Katz (I've read several of his other books, highly recommended)

Daughters of Britannia: The Lives and Times of Diplomatic Wives by Katie Hickman

Get a Life by Nadine Gordimer

About Alice by Calvin Trillin


The only problem now is where to put them -- my bookshelves are already bursting at the seams. There's got to be someplace in my house for a new bookcase...
