The Book Page

From "The Literary Hub." 

This is really pretty good. 

Every day a great series of essays, book reviews, excerpts of new books arrive in my electronic mail. 

I scan through the list and usually find one to three essays, reviews, or excerpts that might be worth reading. 

For the second time in about six months, a book popped up that intrigues (intrigued) me.

This time, at the link, "a Cape Cod book." Just in time for all the Boston Brahmins headed for Cape Cod for the summer. It's really quite clever how the publisher must have arrived at this "release" date.

With a couple of clicks, it's now on its way to my little hovel. It will be here this Friday. Wow.

 

What a great country.
