New Books! New Books!

I'm super excited about two new books. Actually, one is an old book that was just published.
A Father's Law is a book that Richard Wright was working on when he died in 1960. His daughter has just published the unfinished novel, as is. Wright's first novel (Native Son, published in 1940) is one of my favorites. I can't wait to read his "new" one!
Another new book that I am axiously awaiting is Francesca Lia Block's Quakeland. Most of this amazing writer's works are YA, but this will be a collection of adult short stories. If you are saying, "Who is this writer with three names??" then go to your library and take out Dangerous Angels. Read it, then you too will count the days until Quakeland's April release.
