Dykstra, Lenny. House of Nails: The Construction, the Demolition, the Resurrection: A Memoir of Life on the Edge. New York: Morrow, 2016. As I have said here before, I am obsessed with the 1986 Mets, so I buy every book I can find about them.

Hall, Donald E., and Annamarie Jagose, eds. The Routledge Queer Studies Reader. London: Routledge, 2013. I recently had a friend recommend this anthology to me, and I have been wanting to read queer theory in a more systematic way than I have in the past, so thought this book would be a good place toContinue reading “Books Acquired Recently”

The rundown of these books is below, with the books separated into sections based on where they were bought. The sections are listed inContinue reading “Books Acquired Recently: Mostly Vacation Edition”
Books Acquired Recently: Dallas Wiebe Plus One
Morrison, Toni. God Help the Child. 2015. New York: Vintage, 2016. I was browsing at the Green Toad Bookstore last weekend and saw that the paperback of Morrison’s latest novel is out.

Barker, Elizabeth Jackson. Poems in Passage. Utica: North Country, 1988. There was a stack of new copies of this book on the free table at school earlier this week.

Funk, Wes. Baggage. Regina: Benchmark, 2010. I was very excited to be able to track down a copy of this rare book, which I found for sale on the Read Saskatchewan website. While all of Funk’s books are now technically out of print, his others are available as ebooks (which of course I eschew), soContinue reading “Books Acquired Recently”

My recent book-buying binge has included a number of Mennonite authors. Aside from the Wes Funk books, which I ordered from Laird Books in Regina, Saskatchewan (and who provided excellent customer service), I acquired all of the Mennonite-related books from amazon.com’s network of independent sellers. Birdsell, Sandra. Agassiz: A Novel in Stories. Minneapolis: Milkweed, 1991.Continue reading “Books Acquired Recently: Mennonites Plus One Edition”
