Happy Friday, everyone!
I hope you have a great weekend planned, and that there's plenty of sunshine in the works. I'm heading down to D.C. to see (what's left of) the cherry blossoms. But honestly, I'm just so glad the snow seems to be over, it could rain the whole time for all I care.
But when I have a free moment, I'm going to pick up George Mann's "Ghosts of Manhattan." The book is set in a steampunk version of the Jazz Age, in which Queen Victoria was "artificially preservered" to the age of 107, and the U.S. is in a cold war with Great Britain. The back of the book boasts superheroes, monsters, flappers and rocket boosters(!) I can't wait.
Meanwhile, we've got a new winner! Congratulations, Rachel, you've won "Beatrice and Virgil." I hope you enjoy it!
And next up, we've got Anna Quindlen's latest, "Every Last One." The novel follows a family on the verge of some very tough revelations -- including depression, violence and, ultimately, hope. So if you're a sucker for a good story about family, you'll want to pick this one up.
Or, you can tell us what you're reading, and you just might win it! Good luck, everyone!
Every Last One, by Anna Quindlen
