Mailbox Monday



Mailbox Monday is kindly hosted by Marcia at the Printed Page. Please visit her blog and leave a link to your MM post and visit other blogs to see what exciting books made the journey to their new home. Last week was a very good week.

Here's what arrived on my doorstep:

  • Monday: Trail of Crumbs by Kim Sunee and TheRichest Season by Maryann McFadden both won from Bingo at Bookin' with Bingo. Thanks again, Bingo.
  • Dork Diaries by Rachel Renee Russell arrived from the author in the most unique packaging I've seen yet ! Thanks, Rachel. I'm so looking forward to your upcoming interview. Rachel will be featured here mid May with an interview, a review of her book AND a giveaway. So, mark your calendars for May 14th. (More about that packaging with contest details.)
  • The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon with a card inside saying it is a gift from Double Day and the author for international book day. A big super thank you for this lovely surprise. The book looks fabulous. Who doesn't just love a surprise?
  • Tuesday: Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult, won from Jennifer at Book Club Girl's blog. Thanks again, Jennifer. I can't wait to read this one.
  • Girls in Trucks by Katie Crouch won from Bridget at Bridget3420 blog. Love the cover! Thanks again, Bridget.
  • Wednesday: Janeology, a writing journal & some New England fudge. Wow, how cool is that? This was a win from Karen at Scobberlotcher. Thanks again, Karen. Hubby is enjoying the fudge! He's even let me have a piece.
  • Friday: Saints in Limbo by River Jordan from Liz Franklin at Waterbook/Random House for book tour June 1st - 5th. Thanks, Liz.

    Eight books in one week plus fudge sounds like an extremely lucky week to me. Happy reading.

    Gee, what happened to Saturday and Thursday? No books on those days, must have been a slow week! :D I'm just teasing because you had an awesome week!! I am so envious. Every single book sounds great and I hope to read all of them. I can't wait to hear your reviews and find out what you think. I hope you have another great week. Tell that mailman to get in shape!

    Oops! Forgot to mention those surfing penguins! We've had surfing weather in the 80's the last three days after having snow last week. It's scary to see all of those winter white bodies out in short shorts and tube tops though. I'd rather look at a naked penguin any day!

    I hope you got more than one piece of that fudge! Sounds like you got some good books this week -- I especially want to read Trail of Crumbs. Enjoy your books!

    I though Trail of Crumbs was a unique book - but it left me feeling like it was unfinished. I will be curious to read your review!
