Best wishes to both of you!<br /><br />Finished Marsden's Hamlet two nights ago (per your recommendation). Loved it.<br /><br />The Atwood is already on my shelves, and Wolf Hall is en route. My TBR pile finally got so overwhelming (again!) that Mr. M-mv bought me another bookcase. Every book is now filed, and space was left for those I preordered (e.g., the new Tyler and Irving). After those arrive, though (and, yes, I know I've said this before), I must limit myself to books purchased with gift cards and associate earnings. It's such a simple way to cut back, and I already own more than I could read in two lifetimes. I've got to get real, especially since we had to buy a new car months earlier than I had hoped. We're also planning/saving for a family vacation in San Diego (when Master graduates boot). So... I must. stop. buying. books.<br /><br />That said, the review copy of short stories on your pile looks great. Let us know how it is.<br /><br />MelissaMental multivitaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399560628858130962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861486.post-75295252216847185552009-10-22T11:32:48.525-04:002009-10-22T11:32:48.525-04:00Nice stack of books! congrats on your husband'...Nice stack of books! congrats on your husband's new job.

He was one of the first hired at the new DB in Cary, just a contract position starting out, though, but I should start being down your way in the next few weeks to check out his per diem digs. And I'll have to eat while I'm there, right?<br /><br />Diane, glad you won a copy, too! Lisa, I'm dying to read the Mantel as well, but it's so big and I'm a little afraid it's going to be like her French Revolution book--meaning I'm going to have trouble following it if I'm not careful. I want a dedicated chunk of time to devote to it.SFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439972994357205049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861486.post-31258655405123299082009-10-22T09:00:33.313-04:002009-10-22T09:00:33.313-04:00Congrats on the employment.
