A couple of hours ago, someone returned a copy of Devil in the White City, which I'd been meaning to get my hands on for a while (a perfect mix of Chicago history and the macabre apparently). What's funny is, in the time I've been sitting here at the desk, FOUR people have noticed and commented on the book, having all read it (both students and faculty--I think it might be required reading at CC). I was blown away, since no one ever seems to read the things I do, and was thinking how excited I'd be if it were POETRY they were all so excited about. Alas...
In other news, you should check out a little remodeling at my etsy store--a new look and a couple new things (and one old thing reposted). Watch the space soon for more notebooks, collages, pencil boxes, and some little accordion books, to be added as I finish them. Today I finished work on the first set of galleys for Two Kinds of Arson, so it should be coming very soon after we make the corrections. Until then, we still have oven fresh books from Donora Hillard and Kristina Marie Darling available here.
