Noticed you liked White Oleander, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a dysfunctional family (and also a bit dark). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more before you commit:

Thanks,

Hi there! Okay, Lamb was absolutely great so you can rest easy about your recommendation. I hardly ever laugh out loud when I read and I must say I embarrassed myself several times with this book! I see you've recently added other Christopher Moore books. Have you read them or do you plan to? I read them both. Not quite as good as Lamb, but the same warped humor carries the day. Later.

Hey--

So I just got Lamb (per your suggestion) and added it to my nightable TBR pile. Both of the clerks at my favorite bookstore laughed when I asked about it -- I take that as a good sign. Just finished the Book Thief and thought it was absolutely great. Also, I signed up for Early Reviewer. We'll see if they send anything my way!

I loved The Shack, so put it on the top of your Yet To Read pile! And it sounds like I have to go get Lamb. I mean with a description of LMAO, how can I not?! LOL

Hey! Thanks for checking out my library. I just started a month ago, so I am still getting the hang of this. What is the "early reviewer" you do? I look forward to Lamb after I finish How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accent and then An Omnivores's Dilemma (bookclub). Did you read The Shack?
