Books Some Nifty Books Are Coming to Slog Happy

Seattle author G. Willow Wilson was raised by two atheists, but as a student at Boston University, she eagerly slipped into Islam's orbit. In the opening pages of her new memoir, The Butterfly Mosque, after admitting that she "was in the market for a philosophy," Wilson makes a bargain with God: If he alleviates her intense allergy to the Depo-Provera birth control shot (symptoms included chronic sleeplessness, dizziness, and pain), she'll become Muslim. God does not help her. She becomes Muslim anyway.
We're also bringing some sci-fi books, including new ones from Robin Hobb and Brom. We've got a couple of comics on the way, too. And there's much more, including literary fiction, a new translation of The Tin Drum, and one book that I wrote about earlier this week. They're first-come, first-served, kids, so come and get 'em.
