Mailbox Monday


Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page. Anyone can play along. Just leave a link to your MM at Marcia's blog and follow the links to other blogs to see what books are finding their way to mailboxes around the world. Caveat: participation in MM can cause your tbr list to grow exponentially. Here's what showed up last week.


Monday: No Wind of Blame by Georgette Heyer from Caite at A lovely shore breeze in trade for The Water's Lovely by Ruth Rendell. Thanks for swapping, Caite. Much appreciated!


Thursday: Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter by Mario Vargas Llosa from JoAnne at Lakeside musing. Thanks, JoAnne for cleaning your shelves and sharing with me. Much appreciated!


Friday: The Angel by Carla Neggers from the author. Thanks Carla!

An Altar in the World by Barbara Brown Taylor from Harper One through Shelf Awareness. Thank you to Mark Tauber, S.V.P and publisher.



What excitement was in your mailbox this week?

    I haven't read any of your new books, but I'm hoping you enjoy them. It is always such a nice surprise to open one of the padded envelopes :)

    How cool to see you stopping in at my main blog, not just at Win a Book! You made my night!

    I LOVED Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter. My copy is still on my shelf, almost 20 years after I first read it; I refuse to part with it.
