Wonderful batch of books this week. I'm insanely excited to read
The Tiger's Wife which for some reason I still haven't managed to so I definitely plant to get to that soon. Didion's
The Year of Magical Thinking broke my heart when I read it (
review here) and
Blue Nights deals with the death of her daughter so I imagine it'll be just as tragic and I'll have to make sure I'm not already feeling down when I read it. As somebody doing their masters with plants of course I am excited about a plant book-
Untamed Garden. World War II fascinates me and I especially love a story about inspiring women so I was really excited about
A Train In Winter, so excited I apparently got it from two sources!
The Chronicles of Harris Burdick looks absolutely gorgeous, as does the
Fred Herzog photography book and overall I just can't wait to dig into these gems.
