new to the bookshelf

Despite the fact that the Book Fair is about a week away, and the backlog of things to read on the shelves and bedside continue to grow, I couldn't resist buying books.

The Hummingbird's Daughter by Luis Alberto Urrea
Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill
The Geographer's Library by Jon Fasman

Also new: Philippines' Best Restaurants 2007, and a smattering comic book trade collections.

This year, at the Fair, I'm hoping to get more collections and anthologies of Filipino short stories. There's still a lot to read, enjoy and learn from.
