Happy July!  It's starting out very happy over here @ Art @ Home!  I was paired with the very sweet Wendi from All Who Wander for the swap, and she nailed it, let me tell ya!

First of all, she noticed my love for iced tea on my blog and sent me some yummy Tazo Iced Passion. YAY!  It's been 100 degrees here today, and I can't wait to try it.  :D

Here are the books she sent me *drumroll, please*:






The House at the End of Hope Street and Love Letters to the Dead are both on my Goodreads Wish List.  *squee*  I can't wait to read them!


I'm very intrigued with the short story collection, Pretty Monsters.  From Kelly Link's website:

Perfect for readers of George Saunders, Karen Russell, Neil Gaiman, and Aimee Bender, Magic for Beginners is an exquisite, dreamlike dispatch from a virtuoso storyteller who can do seemingly anything. Kelly Link reconstructs modern life through an intoxicating prism, conjuring up unforgettable worlds with humor and humanity. These stories are at once ingenious and deeply moving. They leave the reader astonished and exhilarated.

Since I read and enjoy Karen Russell, Neil Gaiman, and Aimee Bender, I feel confident I'll enjoy these stories!
