Nice week. I really want to read a Ian Rankin book — I bet I’d like them. I have some copies of his earlier books here and I swear I’m getting to them this year.
I look forward to your reviews on The Danish Girl and The Gin Closet–both look good!
Very nice haul last week! I just got another book by Thrity Umrigar. I keep seeing her around the blogosphere and I wanted to give her a try!
Everyone in high school loved The Things They Carried. I hope you do too.
What a week! I received many of the same ones! I think I’m going to pick THE WEIGHT OF HEAVEN for a future book club meeting.
Your mailbox had a really good week!!
I have The Danish Girl on my list, am definitely waiting for your review!
Great books, can’t wait to read your reviews. Have fun!
Great Week! I have heard very good things about the Weight of Heaven (and the author in general!) I am considering reading one of her books for South Asian Authors Challenge.
Have a great week!
Wow, another fabulous week for you. I hope you enjoy all your new books. I’ll be interested on your take of Rankin’s book.
Here’s my MM
The Things They Carried is a wonderful book. I hope you enjoy it! Happy reading!
I’m so looking forward to The Gin Closet…jealous!
You sure are going to be busy..can’t wait to see your review for Doors Open

Nice set of books! I’ll be reading The Danish Girl for the tour as well – can’t wait!
Wow – what a great list of books. I am looking forward to reading your reviews!
That’s a lot of good books…enjoy!
What a great mailbox! Mine is at The Crowded Leaf.
Kathy you had another great week. Nothing in common, but then again my mailbox has been very quiet lately. Enjoy your books.
Oh, those looks like great books!
The Patterns of Paper Monsters is a GREAT title!! I’m intrigued.
Kathy, you had a great week. Enjoy your reading. I look forward to your reviews as always.
I’m finishing up The Weight of Heaven for my tour with TLC tomorrow. Its a great book. Happy reading.
Nice loot.

Another wonderful book week! You have several titles that I am interested in. Enjoy the reads!
Another great haul! Enjoy all your new books
Not long ago I bought The Things They Carried on my Kindle for the Vietnam Challenge. I’ve heard it is excellent and I can’t wait to read it.
The messanger of Athens comes across as a different kind of read. As I love anything Mediterranian, it intrigues me.
Only two picture books in my mailbox this week.
What a great stack of books. Enjoy!
I received The Danish Girl as well and look forward to the TLC book tour. I read and reviewed The Weight of Heaven and was so impressed with Ms. Umrigar’s writing. I hope that you like it. It’s not the most uplifting book but the writing is beautiful. I am hoping to be part of the Blog Talk Radio discussion as well.
Very nice crop – but then again you always have a nice one
. I’m curious about Rankin’s book. I loved Rebus.
WOW!!! You received a nice batch of books this week!
If you’d like to see mine, my mailbox is at: http://tweezlereads.blogspot.com/2010/02/mailbox-monday_08.html
Very nice mailbox! I’m looking forward to your review of The Danish Girl. Enjoy all your new reads!
I’m envying you for the Ian Rankin book. He is on my list of new-to-me authors to read this year. I hope it’s good. I look forward to your review.
I just went over to amazon to check out The Danish Girl. It looks very engrossing, so I ordered a sample for my Kindle. I also just finished The Weight of Heaven for a book tour and thought that it was a very haunting read. I think you are going to like it and am looking forward to hearing what you have to say about it.
Wow! So many good books! I haven’t read any of these yet so I look forward to hearing what you think of them. Hope you have a great week! Enjoy!!
Great week! I am seriously jealous of all of your awesome loot! Happy reading!
Nice haul! Enjoy your books!
What great books! Several I haven’t heard of, however a few I have. I really want to read Black Hills!!
Wow…look at all the loveliness that showed up in your mailbox!!! Enjoy!
Well, I’m so jealous! These books all look really good. The only one of these that I’ve got is Black Hills. Happy reading!
You got some fantatstic books, I think I’m really going to enjoy The Danish Girl. Can’t wait to read your review.
Great books you have there, Kathy! I seem to be seeing BLACK HILLS every where I go. Happy reading!
Well, I don’t think you got nearly enough books
You have quite the hook up with Hachette, don’t you?
The Weight of Heaven!
I love the cover and title for the Pattern of Paper Monsters, but I can’t find a summary of it sadly.
I’m a part of the Danish Girl tour too. It looks great!!
What a great selection. I’m looking forward to your reviews.
I loved The Weight of Heaven, I can’t wait to see what you think of it. I have The Danish Girl from the library right now-I really hope I get to it before it’s due, I have quite a stack to get through. That’s a lot of books in one week. Enjoy.
Fun books! I’m thinking I need to make some time in my schedule to be part of some book tours again. So many books – so little time.
I haven’t heard of any of these before. I hope you enjoy them!
