Mailbox Monday

Mailbox Monday is kindly hosted each week by Marcia at the Printed Page. Anyone can play along. Just leave a link to your MM at Marcia's blog and visit listed links to see what others received in the mail. It's always fun to see what books are making the rounds of mailboxes around the world. Hope you had a good week. Here's what showed up at my house.


Tuesday: This book was a win from Karen at Bookin' With Bingo. Thanks, Karen. I read it immediately and it's a really scary thriller. I couldn't put it down. Hubby just finished it today and liked it too.





Friday:
South of Broad by Pat Conroy is a book I have been anxious to read. Thanks to SA and Random House for an arc of this one.

So, what showed up at your house that got you excited?

    Great books Kaye. I have just bought my first James Patterson. How does he write so many.

    I read Swimsuit and I agree it was great. I had a hard time putting it down.

    I am always amazed whenever I read James Patterson that he still has IT after writting over 50 books. He can suck you into a book.

    I am most excited about my White Queen book.
    I resisted requesting Pat Conroy's new book but I will look forward to your review!

    I won Swimsuit from Bingo too. My hubby grabbed it as soon as it came in, so I haven't had a chance to get to it.

    Good week for you. So Patterson is scary, yikes, perhaps too scary for me then.

    I've only read one book by James Patterson and that was Suzanne's Diary to Nicholas. I don't think I would like this new one! I don't do the thrillers. I'm a chicken :).

    Happy Monday!

    I am hopping from MB to MB and every time I discover something new...the warning that the wishlist/TRP would grow dramatically wasn't an understatement :D

    I have the hard copy of Swimsuit. My mom recently read it and I have a review from her for the blog, but I want to read it myself as well.
