Book jackpot


I worked on my project of putting clear Mylar covers on the more-fragile dust jackets I've got, over the weekend.  That included my set of the Wrinkle in Time trilogy, which I finally found in hardback, with matching jackets.  And as I was covering things, I noticed this:



Knock me over with a feather! That looks like a legit signature, based on the E and the g. 

That gives me, at rough count, one signed L'Engle, 1 Beverly Cleary, 2 Anne McCaffrey books (thanks to winning a trivia contest and having a friend with a sister who took her to conferences), three Marguerite Henry books, plus Tamora Pierce and multiple Doranna Durgin books.  That would be the kid-book Holy Trinity and a fantasy Trinity.

Amazon Prime First Reads - March - and Goodreads

For March, it was a toss-up between Zoo Nebraska and I'm Fine and Neither are You.  I ended up going with the second after reading reviews of Zoo Nebraska about the length.  I may save it for a print book from the library.  I did suggest Beyond the Shadow of Night to the library.

  1. A Lily in the Light - kidnapping, missing kid, ballet.  Sounds depressing
  2. I'm Fine and Neither are You - contemporary fiction 
  3. Wholly Unraveled - memoir about child abuse and religion. Ugh
  4. Beyond the Shadow of Night - WWII fiction
  5. The Rescue - thriller, not my thing
  6. Zoo Nebraska - could be interesting

In other news, I've discovered a bonus to Goodreads giveaways.  For some reason, the Kindle giveaways (or at least the two I've won so far) come with ebook credit at Amazon.  I don't know why, but I've got a few dollars to spend on ebooks now, so I'm okay with that.
