A book I ordered from Chapters arrived today:
- Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits » Laila Lalami
I also stopped at the Annex BMV while I was downtown and picked up four more books:
- Midnight at the Dragon Café » Judy Fong Bates
- A Sunday at the Pool in Kigali » Gil Courtemanche
- A Recipe for Bees » Gail Anderson-Dargatz (because my aunt says it’s really good.)
- English Lessons and Other Stories » Shauna Singh Baldwin (to replace my old copy of this fabulous short story collection, which is falling apart.)
By some coincidence, all four are from the Can lit section. Even though I also browsed the literature, mystery, and SFF sections, I didn’t find anything else I wanted. I considered a couple of Tanya Huff mass market paperbacks, but the covers were just too hideous.
I do love the Annex BMV, though. It isn’t better than the downtown BMV, but it may be its equal. And it’s certainly bigger.
