New Books
My latest order from AcmaBooks arrived this morning. Which surprised me a lot cuz I wasn’t expecting the books for another week or so. And I don’t remember getting an email from them to say the order’s shipped. Which they usually do. Oh well, it just meant I got a pleasant surprise this morning!
The books? Four of them. Three, I really wanted. The fourth, to qualify for free shipping. But it was something I saw in the bookshop and thought I might get. Well, now got already.
The books?
A Black Eye Isn’t The End of the World
Ray G Strobel (a book of Panda Principles)
Bird by Bird
Anne Lamott (yes, finally got my own copy)
Becoming myself – reflections on growing up female
Willa Shalit, ed
Peanuts Guide to Life
Charles M Schulz
The growing up female book offers a curious mix of contributors, but the article by Janis Ian alone was worth the price. Buying a copy also benefits four organisations – Equality Now, The Family Violence Prevention Fund, INTERSECT-Worldwide, and V-Day.
Other contributors include Maya Angelou, Lily Tomlin and Meryl Streep. The article by Tomlin is very funny.
