I still haven’t read any of Lori Lansens books. I’ll be looking for your review of “Great House.” Happy Reading!
Under the Mercy Trees sounds like an emotion packed story (thanks for including the links). I’ve had Rush Home Rd on the shelf for a while. You’ll probably read it before I get around to it so I’ll be looking for your thoughts. Have a good week and enjoy reading your new books.
Looks like oyu have some fantastic reading ahead of you!
Some nice books there! I’ll be looking for your thoughts on Great House too. I’ve had it in my hands a couple of times…
Good books, enjoy each one.
Oh, wow. Rush Home Road looks really good. I’ll be waiting anxiously for your review!
I enjoyed The Wife’s Tale by Lansens but I haven’t read her other novels. Hope you enjoy Rush Home Road!
I never got around to reading Nicole Krauss’ The History of Love, but I have heard good things about Great House.
hope you enjoy all your books
I was hoping to listen to The Great House as I have it on my iPod. Hope you enjoy all of your new books.
I am going to check out these books, as I never heard of them. Happy reading to you.
I loved Nicole Krauss’ The History of Love. Can’t wait to hear how this one is!
I’ve heard good things about Great House. Enjoy your goodies! Thanks for stopping by!
Great House looks intriguing…you have interesting titles this week. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Can’t wait to hear what you think about GREAT HOUSE.
These sound great. They’re all unread by me so far, which means my TBR list is getting longer LOL You can see what I’m reading this week here: http://blog.juliealindsey.com/
These all sound very good.
Enjoy.
All look good!! Hope they are!!!
Oh so excited for you that you got Great House!! I have been hearing excellent things about that book! Your Library Thing book looks wonderful as well and I hope that you enjoy them all!
Enjoy your new books Kathy. I haven’t read anything by Lansens yet but I’ve heard great things about her books!
All these titles are new to me. Going to look them up next.
Enjoy the reads and holidays cheers with the snow
I have read any of these but look forward to your thoughts on them! Here’s my Mailbox: Coffee and a Book Chick — Mailbox Monday…
All new titles for me! Have a great reading week…
Here is my Monday: Mailbox/Whereabouts post!
I have Under the Mercy Trees as well and I’m really looking forward to it. Happy reading
Enjoy your books
Slow week for me, and have been waiting for a parcel some time now
Looks like you got some great books! Enjoy!
All new titles for me. Enjoy your books.
I’m so jealous you Great House! Happy reading! My mailbox is at The Crowded Leaf.
Under the Mercy Trees is one I’ve had my eye on – enjoy!
I received for review The Job by Craig Davis from the author.
Joe B. enjoys the sweet life as a vice president at a huge conglomerate, Universal Whirligig. But along with the Big Boss’ favor, he has also gained the notice of a bitter human resources manager, Luci Fernandez. Hateful of any success but her own, Luci manages to get him demoted to the mail room! A rollicking comedy of errors follows as Joe B. tries to figure out what’s happened to him, and attempts to get a meeting with the Big Boss. Joe B.’s great expectations have taken a dickens of a twist. His family is forced to make a series of hard adjustments, and he gets only lame comforts from a string of the worst friends anyone could have. Will he finally track down the cause of his frustrations? Or will he only learn a lesson about what it is to be the boss, and that what is apparent is often only a shadow of a greater ongoing good? “The Job: Based on a True Story (I Mean, This is Bound to Have Happened Somewhere) is a modern parable of ancient troubles and truths.
looks like a slow week for you…that must have been welcomed.
I have The History of Love but haven’t read it yet. Enjoy your new books, Kathy!
Sound good. Enjoy.
What a great group of books. I look forward to reading the reviews. Happy reading.
All of those sounds interesting. Enjoy!
These all sound good and all are new to me titles. I will have to go check out the descriptions. and I’m sure add them to my growing wish list. Enjoy!
Heather Newton is wonderful, so I can only imagine her book will be too
Great mailbox. I’m going to be reading When We Were Strangers as well. It sounds great.
What a great stack. Enjoy!
I hope you enjoy the new Nicole Krauss book! I think it looks great!
You received some great books, Kathy! I read Rush Home Road last year and enjoyed it.

I’ve heard good things about Great House — I look forward to your review. Enjoy all your books!
I’m interested to read your thoughts on Great House.
Great House is now on my radar!! Enjoy your books
I will be curious to read your review for the Krauss title. I listened to the Slate book club discussion last week, I couldn’t tell if they liked it or not (they picked it to pieces loving parts and not so much for other parts). I haven’t read it.
Have a great week!
What a great mailbox! Under the Mercy Trees sounds fabulous! I’ve read quite a few reviews on Great House, and it seems to be one of those love ‘em or hate ‘em books! I hope you love it! Enjoy!
Enjoy your books.
What a great-looking stack! Enjoy your books!
Goodness, I have had my eye on Great House. I hope you enjoy it.
Happy reading!
I haven’t heard anything about these books. I got Starless Sky though
I haven’t heard anything about these books either but I have heard of the first author (I think). Can’t wait to read your reviews on them.
I so want to read Great House! I took it from the library a couple of months back but had to return it unopened, because of lack of time! Enjoy your books!
i’ve been reading about great house all over the place! i hope you really enjoy it. i had trouble with her last novel, though the rest of the world seemed to love it. happy reading!
Rush Home Road is one of my all time favorite books! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Rush Home Road caught my eye, looking forward to your review.
I rec’d GREAT HOUSE, too, and can’t wait to read it! Did you read her previous novel, THE HISTORY OF LOVE? I haven’t, but want to read that as well.
I haven’t heard of any of these, so I’m looking forward to your reviews. Enjoy!
I heard loads of good things about the Krauss book. I look forward to hearing what you think about it!
