That’s a lot of books! Wow! I’m envious of a few!
What a week!! Hope you enjoy Kingdom of Ohio.
Wowie – Zowie! So many wonderful books in one week. How will you know where to start?
I hope to read both of the new releases of Read, Remember and Recommend sometime soon.
Great list. Reminds me that I have Secrets of Eden on the tbr shelf (also a win) and need to move it up the tbr list.
I really, really want to read I Am Nujood book. It’s been on my wishlist for some time now. I’ll look forward to your review! Congrats on all of your wonderful new books.
Secrets of Eden is on my “faves of 2010″ list…enjoy!!!!
Holy Moly! What to read first will be hard to pick since you got so many really good ones. Enjoy!
Holy smoke, woman! Fifteen books! I used to get that many in a MONTH — and that’s how I wound up with such a big TBR mountain range. How do you manage all this?
And it seems I’m a few books behind in the Chris Bohjalian world. Figures. I just can’t read fast enough!
Wow, you definitely had an awesome week! I am Nujood is on my wishlist! Waiting to hear what you think of it. Enjoy the books!
Wow, busy week in books for you. Happy reading. Gross is another of my mom’s favorites.
Looks good! I like the look of BEACH WEEK and AFTER THE FALL. Have fun with them all!
Amateur and Damaged interest me!

Kathy you had another great week. Wow you got the book of awesome super fast. Hope you like it.
See you soon
I don’t believe I’ve read any of those but I’ve heard of a few of the authors before. Happy reading!
I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced sounds good…actually, you have many that do. Have a good week!
You get so many books! You must have the most fun opening the mail!
You have some really great books this week. I can’t wait to read some of your reviews about them!
So many great books- enjoy them all!!
Wow you had one busy mailbox this week. Happy reading!
WOW – that’s a lot of reading
Enjoy!
My mailbox is HERE.
I have a copy of The Kingdom of Ohio as well, and am really looking forward to reading it! The others are all new to me, so I will be relying on you to hear how they are. Great mailbox this week! I hope you enjoy them!
It looks like you won the lottery. I think you are going to have to take a retreat and do nothing but read, read, read. Not a bad idea.
I also have to review “Damaged” and “Higher Education” and will find interesting what we both think of these 2 books.

I think The Kingdom of Ohio looks good. I also got Damaged. Happy reading! My mailbox is at The Crowded Leaf.
I am late in my rounds today!!! I used to read alot of Alex Kava, but have not recently. I think it was probably a series, if I’m not mistaken. About a woman who sculpts heads from skulls to ID dead bodies? I don’t know. Too many of those to keep track of!
Wow! You received a ton of great books!! I also have After the Fall and am anxious to get started. Enjoy all of your goodies and I will be anxious to hear your thoughts on them!
You had a full mailbox this week, wow! I have none of these books and look forward to your reviews.
Great mailbox this week! Mine was empty alas, but I’m looking on the bright side of things. It means that my TBR pile didn’t grow at all last week.
What a great stack of books. Enjoy!
Goodness you had a great week! Beach Week sounds like it will be a nice summertime read! Enjoy all your new books!
Happy reading!

Wowza…looks like you will be a busy gal! Enjoy your new books!
Kingdom of Ohio – so envious!!!!
You had a nice week! Haven’t heard any of those before. Enjoy your books!
Wow! What a week. I would love to see a picture of your shelves!
I love Chris Bohjalian and didn’t realize he had another out! Very exciting.
Have a great week Kathy!
I have no clue how you do this…I am lucky if I get one tattered copy of anything in the mail…boo hoo hoo…it is easy to tell everyone what I got in the mail…nothing…not one thing!!!
When I first saw the picture to your post, the word “wow” escaped my mouth. You’ve gotten so many books, and the spine of the book all the way to the right looks especially colourful. I wonder what your thoughts are for The Book of Awesome. I’m thinking of getting myself a copy. Happy reading! =)
You always get so many books! How do you find the shelf space?
I always love looking at your picture of books!! Looks like a piece of heaven!
I can’t even imagine getting that many books in a week. I’d never keep up with reading all of them! Have fun, though.

Wow, such great books you got this week again! “I am Nujood” is definitely one I’m curious about, I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it. “Beach week” sounds good, too. Happy reading!
Wow , you had an overflooded mailbox lol..very interesting combination of books, I will be looking forward to your review of “I am Nujood, 10 and divorced..
Wow, what a great pile! There are several I’d love to read. Enjoy!
Wow, Kathy, what a great haul! I can’t imagine how big your TBR pile has become… LOL!
Oh my goodness, your so lucky! Look at all those awesome books. Ok, adding more to my wish list. I’m going to have to get Nujood book asap, that story just tore my heart! Have a great week,

Wow! What a haul! Enjoy your books.
‘I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced’ caught my eye. Happy reading!!!
You always get the best books! I think Beach Week and The Lies We Told look especially promising. Hope you enjoy all of your books!
Great mailbox! You have a lot of books there!
Happy reading!
I give the Nujood book the award for funniest and most intriguing title!
i really have no idea how you manage to do so much reading, reviewing, and commenting! you must have more hours in your day than i do…or you must NOT sleep!
enjoy the books.
Out of all of the books on your list, the ones I am most interested in seeing reviews for are the Nujood book and The Kingdom of Ohio (because I love time travel stories, but haven’t read this one yet).
Secrets Of Eden is on my wish list! Looks like you had a very bookish week
Now that’s a shelf of books–enjoy!
Oooh – hope you enjoy Kingdom of Ohio!
Wow, you had a great mailbox week! Jealous….
Hope this week has been great for you.
Wow, what a week! Enjoy your new books!

Look at that pile of books! I’ve been coveting some of the titles…
Some of these titles are great and bring up wonderful images: The Book of Awesome and The Secret Keepers are two that make me thing wonderfu things are inside those covers.
Wow, you got a lot of books! And there were some good ones there too.
