MATRIMONY
Joshua Henkin
Earlier this week, Jaime from Confessions of a Bibliophile surprised me with the fact that I won a signed copy of Matrimony! Being that I had a desire to read this book, I haven't fully read any reviews (I don't like to know too much about a book before I read it). I do know that it has a connection to college, is well-liked by bloggers, and that Matrimony made the New York Times Notable Books of 2007 list! Also, this is Joshua Henkin's second novel - the first being titled Swimming Across the Hudson.
Thank you, Jaime and Joshua! I'm really looking forward to reading this book.
Jaime's review can be found here.
Congrats, Joy!
ReplyDeleteThat book seems to be absolutely everywhere these days. Hope you enjoy it!
Debi ~ Thank you! It has a lot going for it, so I'm thinking it'll be a good read. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Joy! I'll watch for your review.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I'm glad you managed to finally snag a copy. Hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Joy. I have a copy of that I need to read one day soon too. I look forward to your review.
ReplyDeleteI kind of skim through reviews of books I'd like to read as well. The less I know about a book--most times the better it is for me going into it.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, congrats on winning! I hope you enjoy it.
Mary ~ It won't be for a while. I'm trying to finish challenges and other books I've committed to, then I will read books off my shelves! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteTanabata ~ Oh . . . me too!!! I think I tried at least 5 times. :)
Dar ~ I hope we both enjoy it immensely!
Trish ~ There are times when I wished I knew more about a book, but for the most part I'm happy with discovering the plot on my own. That way is soooo against teaching strategies, though.
Joy, you are more than welcome to join the giveaway for The Professors' Wives' Club. It doesn't matter that you've just won. Are you sure you don't want me to enter your name for it.
ReplyDeleteJoy,
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! I won a copy of this book also! I can't wait to get it, I am anxious to read it.
Dar ~ Okay, Dar. You can add me in. (It didn't take much convincing, did it?) :)
ReplyDeleteBonnie ~ Congrats to you as well! It does sound like a good one.
lol Joy-you're in! Thanks for posting it also. I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI won a copy of Matrimony as well. Meant to only glance at it when it arrived yesterday (I was in the middle of 2 books) but it reads so well, so smoothly that yeah, I'm in the middle of 3 books now!
ReplyDeleteBybee ~ LOL Well that's a great testimony! I'm looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteLucky duck! I haven't read this one yet, but will be interested in your comments once you've finished. Might have to add it to my wish list.
ReplyDeleteLes ~ It took many attempts to win this one. I'm a happy camper.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win Joy! I won a copy of the book a few weeks ago too but just haven't gotten around to read it yet. Hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteIliana ~ I love winning books! I hope you enjoy it, too. It'll be a 2009 book for me.
