The Books Arrive!

I don't know how they do it, but man, they do it good.  I ordered 9 longlisted books from amazon.com on Tuesday morning around 8am and they showed up on my doorstep Wednesday around 2 pm.  Fantastic.  I had a chance to read the dust jackets and know that I'm in for some good reading in the coming weeks.

I managed to make up for lost ground from day one and I'm back on track.  I'm enjoying "A Case of Exploding Mangoes" very much and can think of many people I'd recommend it to, especially Chris, my husband.  This is the kind of book that would make a good movie.  It's got action, adventure, twists and turns, romance, intrigue and it's funny too.  Too early to say whether or not I think it will get shortlisted.  I need to read a few more titles to get some perspective.
