Reading Envy: economics

As promised, I am back with another round of book speed dating, and all of them are galleys. Most came out in April so you can read them right away if they are up your alley but one will wait until June. I think even the books I didn't love might be perfect for someone else. I also have an announcement about summer reading.

Jenny sits down with Bryan Alexander (from Reading Envy Episodes 002, 011, and 019) and Steen Hansen at the Reading Envy Pub to discuss books. It should be said that until we sat down, we had not known the books would fit so well together. Just a normal day of reading serendipity!
