An embarrassment of riches

jmc_bksOver 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.

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