Another Monday and another week of books. I found two books in my mailbox last week:
Matrimony, by Joshua Henkin. I won this signed edition during the 24 Hour Read-A-Thon and was very excited to have it arrive in my mailbox this week. Thanks, Josh!
Right Livelihoods, by Rick Moody. This arrived Thursday from Little, Brown and Co. – I believe I requested it though Shelf Awareness…I think I asked for it as a step outside of my normal reading. It is a collection of three novellas. I have not read anything by this author – he is supposed to be one of the up and coming writers who are on the cutting edge of what makes the world tick; so I’m going to give this one a try. Anyone out there read anything by Moody?

I’ve never read any of Rick Moody’s work, but can’t wait to see what you think of it.
Congratulations on winning *Matrimony*!
Congrats on winning Matrimony. It’s on my nightstand too.
Your description of Right Livelihoods makes it sound very intriguing.

Serena: Thanks
Kathy: I have seen very few reviews of this one…
Dawn: Thanks!
Darlene: Thanks! I’ll look forward to your thoughts on it.
Shana: I hope it is good – it is really outside of my usually reading material, but I’m always open to expanding into new areas
Matrimony certainly has been making the rounds. I received it a couple of weeks ago, but haven’t had a chance to read it yet. Looking forward to your review.
Guess I missed that one on Shelf Awareness – looks good though!
Thanks for stopping by the ‘mailbox’ this week. Matrimony is on my Raved-About Reads challenge list.
Anna: Josh has been doing a great job marketing this book to the book bloggers!
Lenore: I am not sure if it came from Shelf Awareness…I cannot honestly remember where I requested it from; but I request most of my ARCs from there, so I made a guess!
Marcia: Matrimony has been getting nice reviews.
