Even without the carry-overs from the prior week, you had an amazing book week! So many good ones! I know because I got a lot of them too!
I’ve never read any of these authors before. I do have a copy of one of Sarah Strohmeyer’s books though. Happy reading!!!
That shelf is going to cave…LOL…. Enjoy them all. Fragile is on my list to read soon.
Great week in new books!
A few of those were in my mailbox over the past few weeks. Enjoy!
WOW, sounds like you’ve really got some reading to do. There are some great titles there.

Golly Bermudaonion, have you picked yourself up off the floor? Wonderful mailbox. I’ve read The Pennypincher’s Club by Strohmeyer. I had so much fun with that book. I didn’t know about Adam & Eve by the author of Ahab’s Wife. I have a book, a novel, about Adam and Eve. I’m going to read it for one of the challenges. Well, what can I say? Pick yourself up off the floor and enjoy your books.
The Penny Pincher’s Club should be a fun read. Strohmeyer is a riot! You had a fabulous week, Kathy. Enjoy all your new goodies.
My mail is in the sidebar. http://readwithtea.blogspot.com
WOWIE — it is like Christmas every day at your house
Happy reading – and I look forward to the reviews.
Crikey, it must have felt like Christmas in your house. I didn’t realise there was a second Holly’s Inbox book out. I must read the first one soon.
Oh my, there are tons of great books in your mailbox for the past couple of weeks! I hope that you enjoy them all! I actually just finished Baba Segi’s Wives and will be interested to hear what you think of it!
Your mailbox was over worked last week lol. There are a lot of books in that pile that look interesting and will wait for your reviews to see if they go on my tbr bucket list.

Great books! I am adding the Elephant Keeper and Promise Bridge to my wish list. I hope the library gets them. Enjoy
I got “Holly’s Inbox 2″ as well and can’t wait to read it! I really enjoyed “The Penny Pincher’s Club” when I read it a while back. Enjoy!
Here I make my confusion: I do not know any of those books. I can never keep up. Even reading seven books last week, and buying more this week, I. Can. Not. Keep. Up.
I’ve been wanting to read Fragile…I love Lisa Unger’s books.
Also, I’m intrigued by Holly’s Inbox.
What a lot of great books! Enjoy…
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Holy cow you got a lot of books! Happy reading!
Wow! That’s quite some week you had there!
Every time I come here and read your Monday list, I’m amazed at the number and variety of books you have coming in the mail. (Your mail carrier is probably amazed, too.)
Holy smokes that’s a lot of books…are you going to need to add on to your home? lol lol
Just kidding…enjoy all of your new goodies!
what an incredible mailbox!!
hope you enjoy all of your books! if i were you, i wouldn’t even know where to start reading them.
These are all new to me! Don’t you love coming home from a trip and finding that big stack of packages waiting for you? Have fun choosing where to begin! LOL
Wow, you’ve got some great ones! I really want to read Fragile.
Goodness that’s quite a stack! Hope you like all your new books! My mailbox is at The Crowded Leaf.
Wow, exploded is right! Where to start?
I hope you have a gigantic mailbox!
wow, wonderful mailbox
enjoy!
WOW!
Interesting ones. Enjoy your books!
Here is my post!
You had great books! City of Veils sounds good!
You blog, you comment, how do you have time to read so many books?
Christmas in July Kathy. You got alot of great books. I think the only one we have in common is Holly’s Inbox.
Enjoy the goodies.
Kathy, your mailbox says that you’re a very successful book blogger. Enjoy your new books!
I’m just about to finish City of Veils, and it’s been an excellent glimpse into a totally alien culture. I’ve just added A Small Death in the Great Glen to my PBS wish list. It’s a mystery, and I’ve been in the Great Glen a few times, so it sounds like something I would enjoy. Happy reading!
What? Nothing on Friday or Saturday? lol!
I’m impressed..you got a lot of books and several of them are ones already on my wish list.
Holy sagging mailbox, Batman! You received a ton of books, and I don’t think I’ve heard of any of them. I’ll look forward to your reviews.
Enjoy!
I am totally amazed at the vast quantity of books working their way onto your shelves…they do not trickle in for you…they pour into your mailbox. Have a joyous time exploring them!!!
They all sound delicious, but I’m most interested in How to Buy a Love of Reading! Sounds like something I’ll have to get my hands on.
That is an incredible mailbox Kathy! And so many great titles! I’d have a hard time deciding which one to read first. I’m off to investigate some of these titles. Looking forward to your reviews on them!
Wow! I just got 5 books today and it’s only Monday. My list may look like yours next week. I got Adam & Eve and enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy it.
I received The Secret lives of Baba Segi’s wives too – I’m excited to read this book.
I can’t believe how many books you received this week – that’s months of reading for me!!
Have a great week, Mari
That had to feel a bit like Christmas to open all of those packages!!
That is one incredible stack of books! Have fun reading each and every one of them.
Wow, you’ve a great mailbox! Happy reading!
Wow, what a great selection of books! There are quite a few I’d love to read too. Enjoy!
Oh, my goodness!! Your mailbox DID explode!! Your poor, poor, mail carrier!! LOL!! With all of those great titles, my goodness, I would have to do an eeny meeny miney mo to figure out which one to read first!!

Oh my! I can’t decide whether to be jealous or worried that you might become buried in books!
Enjoy your reading.
Oh my! That is quite the load of books Kathy. I can’t imagine where you’re putting all of these already. lol.
Wow, that’s quite a stack. Enjoy!
WOW! Now that’s what I call an incredible Mailbox Monday! The list of title never ends and I am utter green like my avocado now
All I can do is stare at the picture with my mouth open. I hope they are all enjoyable.
Holy Caloley. I’d love to see your bookshelves, Kathy!!
So many books! I’ve read lots of good things about Commuters.
Wow, that is a stuffed mailbox. Hopefully no room for bills. LOL!
Wow, that is one busy mailbox…happy reading.
Wow! I just finished the new Holly’s Inbox yesterday. I really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to hear what you think of it.
It is so worth being away for a week or two just to see that stack of books come in! I’m glad to see that you got Baba Segi’s Wives – sure looking forward to what you think. I also got Tanya’s book last week (didn’t get to do a post this week.)
Holy cow! You’ve had a fantastic week. Enjoy your stash.
Wow, you got all sorts of fun things! That is amazing.
That’s quite a stack even for you! Is your house sinking yet? Enjoy!
Wow! That’s alot of books. The Penny Pinchers Club is a good read. Have you read Sweet Love by the same author? It’s really good. I highly recommend it if you haven’t read it.
I’m waiting for She’s Gone Country. I’ve enjoyed Odd Mom Out, Mrs. Perfect, and Easy on the Eyes. I’m curious to read about Shay’s story.
Enjoy your loot! =)
My gosh–that’s a lot of books in one week! What are you doing on the web–you’d better get reading!
Oh my! What fun! I can only imagine your mail people say.
I didn’t know there was a new Holly’s Inbox.
Wow, I LIKE this week’s mailbox! There are so many interesting books in your pile I don’t know which one to pick out in particular. Happy reading, Kathy!
