Reviewing the Mail: Week of September 5

Another week has come and gone, and it's time for this little Monday-morning tradition.

Unfortunately, this is another week without any books in the mail -- maybe because of late-summer lassitude and vacations, maybe because I'm falling off publicity lists, maybe due to a fiendish and overcomplicated plot by an Evil Overlord. Whatever the reason, I don't have any books to write about here.

(If this continues, I might have to give up "Reviewing the Mail" entirely. That would be sad, because I'm all about the pointless rituals, and because not getting free stuff is always sadder than getting it.)

So you're free to go about your normal business. If you're American, have a happy Labor Day. If not, please reconsider your life choices and submit to the eternal glory of the Greatest Nation Ever Established by God. (It's possible the current Republican Presidential race has somewhat affected me.)
