The Millions blog has a round-up of notable upcoming fiction. Give it a read to see how much time you have to clear your TBR stack.
The Guardian interviews Barbara Kingsolver at her farm in Virginia. They talk about her book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, and the interviewer is almost molested by a turkey. (BGB’s RaeRae reviewed Kingsolver’s latest earlier today).
If you’re an Atlantan interested in giving the local food thing a whirl, a friend recommends the Moore Farm co-op. They deliver a basket of whatever is in season each week at various points around town for cheap - well, cheap-ish.
Steven Hall is interviewed about his book The Raw Shark Texts.
BGB Mailbox: BGB reader Nicole (not to be confused with our Nitro Nicole), who clearly has superior taste, asked if I knew where she could find a copy of The Raw Shark Texts with the way cool Canadian cover (much cooler than the US cover).
Yes, I do. Right over here. (BGB reviews of Raw Shark - here and here.)

Lucy, I think it is a cover that you have to see to appreciate. It has thick boards (no dust jacket), and the shark on the cover is cut out exposing some text on the first page. My copy gets picked up by everyone who sees it.
