1. Beach Trip by Cathy Holton for review for August from Ballantine Books.






2. At the Threshold of Alchemy by poet John Amen, editor of Pedestal Magazine, for review.








3. 2 copies of The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire by C.M. Mayo, signed by the author at her recent appearance at The Writer's Center. Check out my review here.

    Agree about the Mayo book. I love Latin American stories.

    I have no idea what The Beach Trip is about, but I'd read it. I want to go on a beach trip 365 days a year! I've seen the Mayo book around, and it has gotten some decent reviews.

    Beach Trip sounds good. I'm very late with my review for The Last Prince but I have to say I'm really enjoying it.

    I hadn't heard of Beach Trip but had to look at the Amazon description. I wouldn't mind being on a beach myself right now :)
