Often, our dear Assistant Editor Irene Messina has the problem of having far too many books sent to her than our writers can review. Typically, we at the Weekly make an effort to do something constructive with them for the community (donations to charity, leaving them in bookstores to confuse the employees, etc.[note: only one of those is true],) but we’ve decided that we’re going to be sharing the latest batch with our lovely readers.
Therefore, we’re giving out four sets of four books, including a number of works by William W. and J.A. Johnstone, as well as books by Matthew Flynn, Elif Shafak and Matthew Parker.
If you’re interested in having some extra reading material, send me a note at dmendez@tucsonweekly.com with the subject “TW Book Giveaway!” The first four emailers will get their claim in the grab bag.
Update: Sorry folks, but the books have all been claimed by quick-fingered, voracious bibliophiles. Better luck next time.

Whatever that means. Any e-books available so the people don’t actually have to go there, the Hemisphere Loop?
Sorry Red Star, we’ve only got dead-tree versions to give out–and they’ve all been snapped up.
Good job with the corrections!
I do my best.
@Red Star: It’s hurtful that you wouldn’t come by and say hello.
Matthew Flynn the Seahawks quarterback or a different guy?
@Dan Gibson: Not quite ready for “A Stop at Willoughby” not really close, but, hey, who knows?

Red Star
