I have sooooo many books!
The This or That Giveaway! feature that I post every Saturday is a way for me to cull my collection and to share some of the many books I have. I get to clear off some of my shelves to make room for more books and give someone else the chance to enjoy these treasures.
Good luck and be sure to stop back next week!
*****************
by Sherman Alexie
Paperback ~ Published January 1998
A serial murderer is terrorizing Seattle, hunting and scalping white men. And the crimes of the so-called Indian Killer have triggered a wave of violence and racial hatred. Seattle's Native Americans are shaken and confused, none more so than John Smith.
Born Indian, raised white, Smith desperately yearns for his lost heritage and seeks his elusive true identity. He meets Marie, a stormy Indian activist particularly outraged by people like Jack Wilson, the mystery writer who passes himself as part Indian. As a bigoted radio personality incites whites to seek revenge, tensions mount, Smith fights to slake the anger that engulfs him...and the Indian Killer claims yet another life.
Lauded as a poet and author of exceptional lyricism and humor, Sherman Alexie now dips his pen in something stronger-and offers a gritty and eye-opening novel of alienation and justice.

The fall is the best season where I live. Lower temps and ideal walking weather.

ReplyDeleteNot to be mean, but I look forward to all the tourists leaving our beach town. Don't get me wrong: I love having crowds in the summer. But I also love the Fall, when it's still nice weather and the beach is so open and quiet...the perfect place for sitting & reading & listening to the waves!
ReplyDeleteI love all of these things everyone mentioned - the colors, the cooler temps, sweatshirts and sweaters. Walking on the beach in the fall sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeletei look forward to seeing the leaves fall.
ReplyDeleteSeptember for me is the beginning of football season, cool evenings and apple cider!
