Pam: *laughs* Thanks for dropping by and reinforcing my initial thoughts of these books – that they are going to be really good!

Holy WOW!!! I rarely get jealous of other people’s book stacks because I have eclectic taste and that tends to be along different lines than a lot of bloggers but wow wow I’m SUPER jealous of the Doctorow and Pynchon!!! This is me taking ten deep breaths and being HAPPY for you. ;O) Have SO much fun reading!!!!

Michelle: I was SO stoked when I saw Atwood’s new book pop up on Shelf Awareness…there was no doubt I was going to request that one!

Icedream: I still remember Oryx and Crake – it was my first Atwood novel and I was hooked immediately on her writing. Re: In Hovering Flight…yes, bug your librarian!! *laughing*

Kelly: Oh, the Handmaid’s Tale is a classic Atwood novel….loved it!

Kathy: It’s a fun meme, isn’t it? Bundle of Trouble looks like a quick read!

Lisa: Thanks for the recommendation!!

Nicola: Oh, I hope you get them both…likewise, I look forward to your reviews

Anna: Funny how we share mailboxes sometimes, isn’t it??!?

Diane: It *was* a good week – thank you!

Staci: It looks interesting, doesn’t it?!?!?

Megan: Yup, some big name authors there! I was excited about them both!

Serena: *laughs* Looks like I did!

Nicole: I can’t wait to read your review of Year of the Flood! Glad to hear the first chapter is promising.

Vivienne: Oh, Atwood is superb…she has written such fantastic books. She is one of those writers who I think is just brilliant in every way.

Rhapsody: I don’t know if they all arrived via Shelf Awareness…I know the Atwood and E.L. Doktorow books did…

We have a few of the same books: Homer & Langley, The Year of the Flood, and Bundle of Trouble. Looking forward to your thoughts.

Good books! I’m expecting the Doctorow and Atwood too. Can’t wait to see what you think of them.

If you like this E.L. Doctrow, I highly recommend “Ragtime.” One of my all-time favorites.

I can’t wait to read The Year of the Flood but I want to re-read Oryx and Crake first. I also am intrigued by In Hovering Flight, it’s been on my wish list but my library has yet to order it. I may have to plant a suggestion.
