Subscription Disaster! Subscription Drive!

Oh no! While trying to update my subscription links to allow subscribing by email, I think I just deleted my original subscription link and blitzed all my subscriptions. For all those kind enough to subscribe to Rose City Reader, a sincere thank you and a request for a BIG FAVOR -- please sign up for a new subscription! I do not want to lose you and I really did not mean to delete you! For those who do not currently subscribe, please do! Now you can sign up with a reader or by email. You can also follow the blog through google -- use the "Follow Blog" button in the navigation bar above or go to the followers widget in the right-hand column. THANK YOU!

Mailbox Monday

I've been inclined lately to post my weekly book acquisitions because so many seem to be flowing in these days. This past week, most really did arrive in the mail, so this is officially part of The Printed Page's Mailbox Monday feature. Wall Street by Steve Fraser (I am reviewing this for the July edition of the Internet Review of Books) The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer (a late, but much appreciated, birthday present) Women in Their Beds by Gina Berricault (winner of the National Book Critics Circle and PEN/Faulkner prizes) A Bromfield Galaxy by Louis Bromfield (including three novels: the Pulitzer-winning Early Autumn, The Green Bay Tree, and A Good Woman) Au Revoir to All That (from the LibraryThing Early Reviewer program) The Year of the French by Thomas Flanagan (another National Book Critics Circle prize winner) Birds by Jeffrey Fisher (my favorite cover of all of them) When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro Atget's Paris, part of the Icons series published by Taschen Panoramas of Promise: Pacific Northwest Cities and Towns on Nineteenth-Century Lithographs by John W. Reps The last four did not come in the mail. I got them at Ampersand when I went in to spend the $25 gift certificate I won in the April contest on Reading Local. The monthly prize is now up to $100 in gift certificates.
