The book Gods have been smiling down at me recently, as bunches of free books have been steadily arriving in my mailbox over the last two weeks. Since I’ve tried to take some nicey nice pictures of my stash, I figured that I will post each of my newbies, one at a time, over the next few days. So bare with me while I show you guys all the goodies I’ve gotten. Kind of like being a kid in the candy store…
Just keep in mind though, with the exception of one of the books, I haven’t actually read any of these yet, although it looks like I’ve got my summer reads all lined up!
First up is Love and Biology at the Center of the Universeby Jennie Shortridge.
As described on the author’s website- Mira Serafino can see the headlines now: Girl-Scout-Leading, Homeless-Feeding Science Teacher of the Year Goes on Wild Rampage of Sex, Drinking, and Drugs. Well, let her small town of Pacifica, Oregon, think what it will. Forty-five-year-old Mira, the obedient daughter, the supermom, the loyal wife, has left the building…
When she learns that her college-sweetheart husband has been seeing another woman, Mira’s perfect world is shattered and she wants no one, least of all her big Italian family, to know. She heads north—with no destination and little money—stopping only when her car breaks down in Seattle. She takes a job at the offbeat Coffee Shop at the Center of the Universe, where she’ll experience a scary but invigorating freedom, and meet someone she’ll come to love: the new Mira…
OK, I’m totally in love with the book cover (although I have to say it is a bit type heavy) and since I secretly want to work in a coffee shop I figured this looked like a book I could sink my teeth into. Sounds like an interesting read, don’t you think?
