Monday Mailbox 6/4/12: Playing Giveaway Catch-up
June's Monday Mailbox is was going to be hosted by Alternative-Read.com, but I guess there's some confusion. There will be someone else hosting for the rest of June, but for this first week it'll be hosted by the true home of Monday Mailboxing.
This week I received one book, an ARC from Plume titled
by Joey Green
This book was released by Plume on May 29th.
From the press release:
We all make mistakes. However, the next time you make a truly dumb error, take heart--it doesn't hold a candle to the tremendous blunders made throughout history by remarkably smart people--including novelists, rocket scientists, and world leaders. Bestselling humor author and former National Lampoon contributing editor Joey Green shares a collection of surprising slip-ups spanning civilization in Dumb History: The Stupidest Mistakes Ever Made.
