Mailbox Monday - September 7th

It was a very good week at my house, with several visits from the Fed Ex and UPS men. From the publishers, I received "The Man Who Loved Books Too Much" by Allison Hoover Bartlett, "The Evolution of Shadows" by Jason Quinn Malott, "Bending Toward The Sun" by Leslie Gilbert-Laurie and "The Way Home" by George Pelecanos. I'm hoping to have dual reviews for a couple of these. From the author, I received "Intimations of Austen" by Jane Greensmith.

I have definitely got to pick up my reading because I've also recently been to the library and still have the challenges to complete! At least my family is all on the mend, so my nursing duties seem to be at an end.

Mailbox Monday - August 31

Only two books in the mail this week: Julie and Julia by Julie Powell and The Imposter's Daughter by Laurie Randell. I'm looking forward to reading Julie and Julia immediately followed by Julia Childs' My Life In France.

Mailbox Monday and Library Loot - August 24

Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page. Very excited to be joining in on this for the first time. Last week I received in the mail for review: "Night of Flames: A Novel of World War Two" by Douglas W. Jacobson and "Circle of Souls" by Preetham Grandhi. Also in the mail was "Home Front" by Kristen J. Tsetsi which I won from Heather at Age 30+...A Lifetime of Books.
I also hit up the library this week (after paying off a fine that would have bought me a hardcover novel!). I brought home on CD "Death In A Village: A Hamish MacBeth Mystery" by M. C. Beaton, "Netherland" by Joseph O'Neill, "The Uncommon Reader" by Alan Bennett, and "Bridge of Sighs" by Richard Russo. And I'm very excited to have found "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett.

As if all of that weren't enough reading to do, I also bought this week: "The Wednesday Sisters" by Meg Waite Clayton and "My Life In France" by Julia Child with Alex Prud'Homme.


What did you pick up to add to your nighstand?
