Mailbox Monday
November 16, 2009
The nosy part of me just loves seeing what new books everyone else got, so Mailbox Monday is one of my favorite memes. Thanks to Marcia of The Printed Page for hosting it each week.
I actually made a dent in my TBR pile last week! This is what I found in my mailbox:
Tuesday
- Hummingbirds by Joshua Gaylord was a win from The Roaring 20′s
- Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser came from Harper Collins
What new books came into your home last week?

Congratulations on making a dent in your TBR pile that’s a great accomplishment. Hope you enjoy the newest additions
Fast Food Nation looks like a monster of a book
Wow, that is one ginormous book! Great news you’re making progress on the tbr pile! Wish I could say the same…
That’s a lovely cover design for Fast Food Nation. It’s a great book- horrifying, but great.
Looks like we both had a slow week! Mine was much needed. I am so excited to read Hummingbirds.
Fast Food Nation was an interesting read. Enjoy
Hummingbirds interests me!

I can’t wait to hear about FAST FOOD NATION! You’ll probably have a big week this week!
I still need to read Fast Food Nation. I know it ‘s going to disturb the to-go burgers right out of me, but I’m ok with that.
Oooh, I see a chunkster. I had no idea that book was so huge. I really want to hear what you have to say about that one.
A few years ago I read Fast Food Nation and found it to be The Jungle for our generation.
Congrats on making a dent in your tbr pile. I’m definitely trying to do the same. My mailbox has slowed down considerably and will stay that way until I can clear out some of the books I have piling up.
Very curious about Fast Food Nation! How will that hold up against your cookie recipes? Total opposite ideas, with similar, hip-widening effects! Thanks for taking the time to comment on my blog!

Progress on the TBR pile is always good
I am slacking behind
I bet FAST FOOD NATION is interesting (scary/interesting!). I read SUPER SIZE ME several years ago; what a wake up call!
Enjoy your new books, Kathy.
I wonder why Fast Food Nation looks so large, the copy I had was not even close in size to what you have there. I enjoyed it though. It was a real eye opener.
I’ve heard Fast Food Nation is really good. I’ll be curious to read your thoughts on it, Kathy.
I received hummingbirds as well.
Both of those books look good, and it’s nice to have slow mail weeks once in a while in order to catch up.
Wow, that edition of “Fast Food Nation” is incredibly huge. Is it a large print edition, or something? I ask because the first edition paperback isn’t nearly so large. In any case, it’s a great book. You’ll never look at fast food the same way again.
Slow weeks are good. Enjoy your new books!

I am like you, I just love to see what everyone else has got during the week. I feel like we all meet at the post office with our bag of books!
Congrats on getting through your TBR pile a bit.
yowza – I didn’t know Fast Food Nation was such a THICK book.
Yeah Fast Food Nation is huge.

Looks like a couple of good ones. Enjoy!
Fast Food Nation is one thick book! They both sound good. Congratulations on making progress on your tbr pile! Mine just grows and grows….
I got Hummingbirds a bit ago as well. I think it will be my next read and I’m looking forward to seeing what you think of it as well. If it’s ok with you, I will link to your review on my site.
No books for me this week, but I did get a few books to give as holiday gifts.
Enjoy your new books and happy reading!
Yay on making a dent in your TBR pile, I’m still working hard on mine!
Happy reading!
Hummingbirds looks like a good one to me Kathy!
I hope you enjoy the Schlosser book. I read it a couple of years ago and it’s a favorite!
I look forward to reading your thoughts on Fast Food Nation.
Looking forward to hearing about Hummingbirds. Have a good week!
Love that Hummingbird cover
Hummingbirds sounds interesting! Enjoy your books, Kathy!
