August 9, 2010
It’s Monday, and that means the weekend’s over. It’s a good thing we have the fun meme Mailbox Monday to help us start the week off right. Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of The Printed Page and is now going on tour – the host for this month is Chick Loves Lit – click over there if you want to join in the fun or see who else is participating this week. I found these books in my mailbox last week:

- Trio: A Corpus Christi Trilogy came from Meryl Zegarek Public Relations
Tuesday
- Emily the Strange: Stranger and Stranger by Rob Reger and Jessica Gruner came from Harper Collins
Thursday
- The Hundred-Foot Journey by Richard C. Morais was a win from Jo-Jo Loves to Read!!!
Friday
- Dogfight, A Love Story by Matt Burgess came from Random House

Emily the Strange looks cute, I hope you enjoy it!
Oh, we’re going on a trip today. Fun. I like your books because those titles are all new titles for me.

Didn’t receive any, but picked up one from the library….not sure that counts.
Picked up To Kill a Mockingbird….book club read.

Wow! I only have one of those books! Looks like you got some interesting ones.
I also won the book by Richard Morais….enjoy.
The Hundred-Foot Journey is the only familiar title. Enjoy them all!
Another week of interesting looking books. Emily The Strange and The Wave are the reviews I will be waiting for.

I also got Dog Fight and Keep the Change. I’ve started Keep the Change and it’s interesting. Hope you enjoy all your goodies.
Looks like more interesting books to read. Looking forward to reading your take on these.

Great titles you got here!
Here are my Monday: Mailbox/Whereabouts and Musing Mondays posts!
Lots of great reading ahead for you.
I am curious about Emily the Strange. Will look forward to your review.
Enjoy your books!
I just got a copy of The Wave last week too. I am hoping that it’s as good as everyone says it is!! All your other books look great too and I do hope that you enjoy all of them!
The Hundred Foot Journey and Emily Stranger and Stranger look good! Actually – they all look good! I need to be reading!
Have a super week Kathy!
A great selection of books, though I hadn’t heard of them yet! Look forward to your thoughts and I hope you enjoy them. My mailbox is here.
I have only one of those books — can’t wait to learn about some new titles.
You’ve got a great selection there. Emily the Strange sounds like a fun title. I hope you enjoy all of your books : )
I’ll have to go look up the Corpus Christi trilogy since Corpus is not only close by (3 hours) but my husband grew up there.

a lovely book of short stories by Amy Bloom – Come to Me.
What an amazing group of books for you!! I’m eager to hear your thoughts on these, I’ve kept my eye on a few of them before!
Almost all of these books are new to me! I’m glad to see you received the book you won from my blog. Enjoy all your new goodies!
These look like really fun and literary books! Hope you enjoy them. My mailbox is at The Crowded Leaf.
So…where does everyone win the books?
I usually win on LibraryThing.com
How is The Crowded Leaf, Alayne?

i read about ‘the 100-foot journey’ and am eager to read it! hope you enjoy it.
happy monday.
Started reading Star Island by Carl Hiassen. It’s actually my first Hiassen book, even ‘though I’m from Florida.
Oh you have lots of titles here I’ve never heard of before! I’m excited to see what you think of them!
Well, that’s an eclectic mix! Congrats on your win from Jo-Jo — that’s one I’d really like to read!
So many books, so little time.
Some good books! I’ll be looking forward to your reviews, especially for Emily the Strange.
Oh…I totally agree, irene.
You always have such great stacks. Enjoy!
Love your header. Beautiful.
The Hundred-Foot Journey looks like a good one! Enjoy all of your new books!
notice I just got Dogfight myself this week…I totally forget what it is about…lol
I received Keep The Change here too. I never know exactly what to tip so I thought it was a good guide to have. I hope it answers some of my tipping questions.
I am always impressed by the wide subject material in the books that you read…my scope is so narrow compared to yours…
What a great mailbox again.
These books are new to me so I’ll run through Goodreads to get a quick synposis.
Have yourself a great reading week
Keep the Change should be interesting.
Happy Mailbox Monday! Happy reading, Kathy!
Great group of books! Can’t wait for your reviews!
I’m curious about those Emily the Strange books… I feel like I know more about the merchandise than I do about the books themselves!
great mailbox as usual. I like the title of ‘keep the change’
Enjoy all your new books. I’m happy to be back to blogging again!
Blue color attracts my attention immediately so when I saw the book spine of THE WAVE, I was attracted to it immediately. Enjoy your books and happy reading, Kathy!
another great week for you! hope you enjoy all of your books!
You always get such interesting books!
You had a great week. A nice mix of fiction and non-fiction but I have to say I am particularly interested in reading your review of Dogfight.
May I ask what it means that you get books – does that mean ones you bought, ones you won, or ones you got at the library?
THANKS.
These are all new to me–I suppose that means that I’ll have add at least some of them to my wishlist.
great books as always. The wave looks intriguing
I don’t think I’ve heard of any of these. I look forward to seeing what you think of them!
I hope you enjoy all of them! I haven’t received any book for the last couple weeks but it’s a good thing. Really!
Wow.. you got some exciting books! The title of Hundred-Foot Journey is intriguing. I need to look at what that book is about.
Thanks for stopping by my mailbox yesterday! Oh my gosh, are you blogging from Bermuda?
I *love* Bermuda! I’d love to get back one day.

Oh boy — I’ve had The Hundred Foot Journey in my TBR pile for a while and really need to read it!
As usual you got a pile of good books. Enjoy!
looks like you got some great books. I didn’t get any new ones this week.
You always get so many wonderful books every week. Lucky you!
I’m wondering about Dogfight. Enjoy your mailbox.
Dogfight looks good. Enjoy your new books!
