The Arab of the Future by Riad Sattouf -- I decided to ask for a book in the last moment and won it. :)

I'm getting It Ended Badly: Thirteen of the Worst Breakups in History by Jennifer Wright! Thanks LT.

I won Devotion by Adam Makos. Yay!!!

After reading some heavier or more depressing books, I won Scents and Sensibility, something light and fun. I've read others in this series, and enjoyued them.

Yay! Thanks, LT and all the publishers who participate.

Secondhand Souls by Christopher Moore, the sequel to A Dirty Job which I just re read in anticipation of winning this one.

I will be getting "A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail" by Bill Bryson ~~ Delighted to be sharing the territory with such an interesting person!

An e-copy of Dogland: a journey into the heart of America's dog problem. We have 2 rescue dogs!

I got Flambé in Armagnac by Jean-Pierre Alaux.

>5 TooBusyReading: I was really hoping for Scents and Sensibility, but I think the one I got will be light and fun as well.

I'm getting Iron Rails, Iron Men, and the Race to Link the Nation: The Story of the Transcontinental Railroad by Martin W. Sandler.

So excited to win We Never Asked for Wings by Vanessa Diffenbaugh. Her earlier novel, The Language of Flowers, was a 5-star read for me.

I'm getting A Better Way to Die by Paul Cornell. Very pleased - I've enjoyed several of his other books.

Remarkable Minds: 16 More Pioneering Women in Science and Medicine should be an interesting read.

Very excited to have won Black-Eyed Susans, by Julia Heaberlin!

Woo hoo. I was one of the 15 out of 594 to win M.T. Anderson's Symphony for the City of the Dead. We're doing the WW2 time period on the Reading Through Time group's quarterly (July-August-September) read, so the Siege of Leningrad will fit in nicely with that, assuming I get the book from the publisher in the next month or so. Now I'm going to have to figure out which performance of Shostakovich's "Leningrad Symphony" is the best to listen to.

YAY! Food Whore by Jessica Tom. I can't wait to read it. Thank you so very much LibraryThing.

I won Tenacity by James Law. Looking forward to reading it. :)

On the last days of July 2015 it is Out on the Wire: The Storytelling Secrets of the New Masters of Radio by Jessica Abel . Intriguing: a comic book about another medium written by a comic book theoretician.

I wondered if I should just request that since I luv Christopher Moore but then I didn't want to be bookless either so I requested other books...

I won Black-Eyed Susans by Julia Heaberlin. Looks like a good one!!

I got Oswald: Return of the King. Very excited to be reading the second one in the series. Especially as I got the first from LTER too!

The Secrets of Blood and Bone by Rebecca Alexander Fantasy take me away! :) nothing better than the great escape from reality. :)

WOO-HOO!!! I'm going to receive a copy of Food Whore, which is doubly exciting since I've been on a diet! ;P

I have been selected for an Early Reviewers copy of The Big Bad Book of Bill Murray: The Man, the Movies, the Legend by Robert Schnakenberg from the July 2015 batch. Looking forward to reading and reviewing this book which also appears to have the alternate or final title of The Big Bad Book of Bill Murray: A Critical Appreciation of the World's Finest Actor.

Disappointingly I never received the above Bill Murray book and instead was sent Pop Sonnets Shakespearean Spins on Your Favorite Songs by Erik Didriksen in error.

I won nEvermore! Tales of murder, Mystery, and the Macabre: (Neo-Gothic fiction inspired by the imagination of Edgar Allan Poe) by Margaret Atwood, Kelley Armstrong, and 8 more from the July batch. I cannot wait to read it. I will be writing a "chilling" review of this book.

I have been selected to receive an Early Reviewers copy of The Locket: Escape from Deseret. I am looking forward to reading and reviewing this book.

Yikes! I better get busy and read A Dirty Job which is on my TBR pile, since I won Secondhand Souls!

I'll be reading Marvel and a Wonder by Joe Meno. Thanks!

Yay!! I won After Alice by Gregory Maguire!! So excited!
Thank you!! :)

I'm a lucky winner of Marvel and a Wonder by Joe Meno, which is the one that I wanted the most. I'm always amazed at how LT's algorithm does such a great job in choosing just the right book. Thank you LT and publisher!

I won From Turnberry to Tasmania: Adventures of a Traveling Golfer by John Steinbreder! Thank you! I am looking forward to read it :)

>9 JackieCarroll: Yes, the Chet and Bernie series is a lot of fun. Squirrel!

I won Meatspace by Nikesh Shukla and I am looking forward to reading and reviewing it. Thank you!

I won Playing with Fire: A Claire Abbott Mystery by Gail Anderson-Dargatz, another new author for me.

I won Silver Linings by Debbie Macomber. I think it will be a great read as summer winds down.

Aaahhhh! Thousand Pieces of Gold by Ruthanne Lum McCunn, which has become (I guess) a modern classic originally published in 1981 and made into a well reviewed movie in 1991. The book purports to be based on the historical figure, Lalu, who became Polly Bemis after being sold as a sex slave from her native China to a saloon owner in Idaho in the time of the Old West.

I snagged A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. I love his stuff and, although this is a reissue of an old title, it is one I have not read yet. Thanks LTER and Crown Publishing!

I'm getting Secondhand Souls by Christopher Moore. Really looking forward to this one. I love his humor!

I won a copy of Food Whore by Jessica Tom. I have been reading Ruth Reichl memoirs lately so this will fit right in!

I'm getting Dataclysm by Christian Rudder.

I won A Place We Knew Well by Susan McCarthy from Random House. Looking forward to my copy to review.

I won and ebook copy of Fire by Alan Rodgers. Can't wait to dig in! Thanks LibraryThing as well as Chameleon Publishing and Amy who helped me in securing the copy.

I won Red Rose, White Rose by Joanna Hickson Very happy with this one!

I won Black Prophetic Fire by Cornel West. Thank you!

I'm getting 'Silver Linings' by Debbie Macomber and am thrilled. I have only read a few of Debbie Macomber books so I'm looking forward to this one!

I won the same book. I think it'll be a great read also!

I'm getting The Mystics of Mile End! Woohoo!

I won, Food Whore by Jessica Tom. for July

I won The Mystics of Mile End, but have not yet received it!

It doesn't look like anyone has received it. Noone has reviewed it yet.

The place to report that is at the top of the ER list. Go into the Books you've won. You can also post in https://www.librarything.com/topic/190584, but that should be as well as in the ER system.

>51 MarthaJeanne: Thanks! I'll do that now...
