A big thank you to Marcia for originating Mailbox Monday<\/a>. This weekly meme is now on tour with a new host each month. May\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s host is Martha\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Bookshelf<\/a>.<\/p>\n I went to B&N this week to pick up Erik Larson’s new book, In the Garden of Beasts,<\/em> since he was in town to do an author reading for the Thurber House. I miscalculated his popularity and the event was sold out. I didn’t get to go but I kept the book since I knew I’d read it eventually.<\/p>\n While there, I picked up Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children<\/em> by Ransom Riggs. It’s received a bit of buzz the last few months.<\/p>\n Lastly, I picked up ebooks of most of\u00c2\u00a0Mur Lafferty’s<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0novellas. Earth, War, Wasteland, Hell, Heaven, Marc and the Red Granny<\/em> and Playing for Keeps<\/em>.
