An embarrassment of riches

[jmc_bks]

Over the past couple of months, I have pre-ordered a variety of books, most of which were to be released sometime this fall. And being frugal (or trying to be, at least), I chose to have each order shipped as a group rather than as each individual book became available.

Over the weekend, I received an email notification that Bujold's The Sharing Knife: Beguilement had shipped.

And this morning, I received more notices. I'm going to have many, many books to choose from by the end of the week:

Bread and Roses, Too (YA)
Terror Timeline (NF)
Pink Ribbons Inc. (NF)
Warrior & Witch (SFF/P)
For Matrimonial Purposes (Chicklit)
1491 (NF)

If I could roll around with the books gleefully a la Demi Moore in An Indecent Proposal, I would. Except the spines of the hardbacks would poke more than dollar bills, I'm sure. So instead I'll be clutching them and calling them Preciousssss.

Oh my god! I feel like that too! And now I don't feel stupid since someone else has admitted it. It's perfectly natural. :)

I've had For Matrimonial Purposes on my shelf for a long time but haven't gotten to it. It looks really cute.

Can you please review Warrior And Witch, JM? I read the first one, but I'm not sure that I want to read the second.

Sure. I'm bump it up to the top of the TBR pile and try to get to it this weekend.

What did you think of the Terror Timeline?

I appreciate the detail and the very clear mapping of what, why and how, but I must admit that I haven't finished it yet -- I read it in small sections. Lately, I've set it aside for Chalmers Johnson's trilogy on American empire and Jeremy Scahill's book on Blackwater. Both of which feed back to Terror Timeline thematically, so I'll be picking it up again soon.
