That stuffed book should be interesting. Nice batch!
Wow! You did alright. Some of these books look awesome. I’m amazed by how many different ones we received this week.
nice list!
That is the nice little haul Kathy. I am still waiting to see if I will get Unpolished Gem and Age of Orphans. The Towering World of Jimmy Choo hasn’t come in yet.
You got some great books? I am pretty new to this but I was wondering how you got those books from the publishers? Thanks. The Towering World Of Jimmy Choo sounds awesome.
What great books you received. A nice variety.
Another person reading Jimmy Choo and the Age of Orphans! I cannot wait to see what everyone thinks.
Happy Reading.
I’ve never heard of these so I’ll be watching for your reviews. Nice haul this week.
I received stuffed too!
Lots of good books to read for you!
Can’t wait to read the reviews.
You had a great week. I’ll be looking forward to your review of Age of Orphans. That one certainly sounded interesting.
Happy reading!
I also got The Age of Orphans but I was able to keep myself from requesting the others. I am sure I’ll regret it when I read your fab reviews!
Enjoy reading your stack of books!
A lovely pile of books.
‘Unpolished Gem’ by Alice Pung looks really interesting. I’ll be watching for the review!

Great collection. I received Age of Orphans also..really looking forward to that one.
We both got Unpolished Gems – will be great to compare notes!
I just bought The Outliers and The Associate – looking forward to reading with a glass of wine and toasty fire.
I hope I get Unpolished Gem too!
I love that you added a picture of your books. Great idea!
I tagged you for a meme. I hope you don’t mind. It’s short and fun.
What an interesting bunch of books! Interested to see what you think of them. And I’m particularly interested in “Stuffed.” I wonder if there is someone to blame other than myself for those 20 to 30 extra pounds I can’t get rid of!
Stuffed sounds really interesting – I can’t wait to hear if you agree with them, or how you like the book! I can still remember when I saw Super Sized (the dvd) – I still rarely eat at McD’s!

Seems like a nice variety. Enjoy your new books!
Looks like you had a good week
I’ve read Undress Me In The Temple of Heaven, and it wasn’t what I expected in a travel book, but it was honest and real and that made me like it a lot.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!

I wanted Stuffed! I didn’t seem to get it though. I can’t wait to see what you think of it.
Oh, yes, I got *Unpolished Gem* as well; I love a memoir!
This is truly sad, but I don’t recognize one of those titles. I need to get out more often.
Any thoughts yet on where Stuffed originated? I still can’t think of where ( or if ) I asked for it!
Looks like you’ll be busy! Happy reading!
I’m looking forward to your thoughts on the Jimmy Choo book. I love fashion, but don’t claim to be very fashionable. I also can’t afford to own any Jimmy Choo’s..but boy do I love some of those shoes.
Thank you for stopping by the mailbox this week. We’ll see who reads ‘Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven’ first.
