Books bought and brought back

Here is the stack of books I bought in the US:

• Paul Park, A Princess of Roumania


• Holly Black, Tithe


• Gail Giles, Shattering Glass


• Uzodinma Iweala, Beasts of No Nation


• Joan Didion, The Year of Magical Thinking


• Michael Cunningham, Specimen Days


• Justina Robson, Living Next Door to the God of Love


• Paul Mandelbaum, ed., 12 Short Stories and Their Making


• John Green, Looking for Alaska


• Chris Lynch, Inexcusable


• Gail Mazur, Zeppo's First Wife


• Tim Pratt, The Strange Adventures of Rangergirl


• George Saunders, In Persuasion Nation


• Lucia Perillo, Luck is Luck


• Michelle P. Brown, Understanding Illuminated Manuscripts


• Hal Duncan, Vellum


• Octavia E. Butler, Fledgling

Books I meant to buy, but the booksellers didn't stay set up at the Nebulas weekend for long enough:

• anything by Carol Emshwiller


• Kelly Link, Magic For Beginners


• Eileen Gunn, Stable Strategies and Other

And if I were to list the books I nearly bought but managed to restrain myself from buying, we'd be here all day.

Plus, Denise Hamilton, who chaired the panel at the LA Times Festival of Books, gave me a signed copy of her crime novel, Savage Garden. Thanks, Denise!
