Mailbox Monday




Mailbox Monday is 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 follow the links to other blogs to see what books are finding their way to mailboxes. Caveat: participation in MM can cause your tbr list to grow exponentially. *Penguin at mailbox image used with permission from Penguin Club.* Here's what showed up last week:

Monday: The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen from Mary (bookfan). Thanks, Mary, I'm looking forward to it!

Little Black Ant on Park Street by Janet Halfmann from Soundprints. Janet writes the most wonderful children's books; not only entertaining but educational.

The Map of True Places by Brunonia Barry from Harper Collins via SA.

Tuesday: War On the Margins by Libby Cone won at the WWII challenge. Thanks, Anna & Serena.

Coming Home by Mariah Stewart snagged from LT.

Thursday: A Bolt from the Blue by Diane A.S. Stuckart won from Ariel at Mystery Suspense

Claude and Camille by Stephanie Cowell from Random House through SA. They sent an ARC so the cover below is not what I have. I just love Monet's paintings so I'm hoping this story will be well done.

Friday: Drood by Dan Simmons won from Debbie at Wrighty's Reads. Thanks, Debbie!

Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold won from Kim at Metroreader. Thanks, Kim!

    Lots of fun reads! I've been hearing a lot of good things about The Girl Who Chased the Moon. I'll be curious to see what you think of the Brunonia Barry book. I haven't read anything by her yet.

    OK - can I just ask...what is with all the books titled "The Girl...with/that..."??? I have no idea if this particular book here came out before or after the Dragon Tattoo series. But is everyone trying to ride the coattails of that series' success by copying the style of the title? I have seen sooo many different books emulating that title and was just curious.

    Enjoy The Lovely Bones - I found it to be quite unique and thoughtful.
