blood, bones, and butter showed up today. I'm pretty burnt out on the whole memoir genre right now, but for some reason I still get excited about food memoirs. :)

I'm totally jealous of the HP book, DoB!!
Today A Widow's Story by Joyce Carol Oates showed up. I love her fiction, so this one should be interesting.
Ever since most publishers started making ARCs a "contest" it seems like I get fewer and fewer each month. Blech.

New stuff:
The Uncoupling by Meg Wolitzer
The Forgotten Founding Father by Joshua Kendall
Winter Bloom by Tara Heavey
Waiting for Snow in Havanna by Carlos Eire
>10 GondorGirl: It is possibly the most amazing book I've ever seen.
Also, about the 'contest' aspect, a couple of things:
1) They sort of had to do that to get around the FCC regulations. This way books aren't being provided as payment and any reviews, etc. are just a bonus for them, so they don't have to worry about making sure people disclose.
2) If you want to books other places than SA and LT/GR, I think it helps to have an active blog. Although posting reviews on LT is quite clearly a great help for publishers, they are much more likely to actually seek out people with active book blogs because their reviews are
a) easier for publishers discover the existence of, and
b) easier for people Google searching to find
