Hi Kathy,
What a fantastic selection of books this weeks, so many differing genres, a real eclectic mix.
All new authors to me, apart from the Andrea Levy, but I particularly like the sound of the Watson book ‘Before I Go To Sleep’, that’s a definite for the wish list.
There are just so many new books and authors out there, that it is difficult to keep up with them all!!!
What a nice set of books. Happy reading!
Book Dilettante
A good pile, as always. Enjoy your reading and happy Monday!
I’m pretty excited about The Ridge…I saw a review in my Bookmarks this month. Overall though, that is a pretty big stack of fun.
You do get such interesting books!
Wow Kathy….can we expect reviews on all by next week? LOL enjoy them all.
Nice mix of genres — great week.
I got a couple of those, but I really need to get back to Koryta. I didn’t even know that one was coming out!
Yeah, I still get a thrill too! You would think that they would get old, but they don’t.
Wow…great set of books.
I will be looking forward to your review of LONG SONG.
TEN BEACH ROAD sounds good too.
ENJOY!!!
Really good diversity in your MM this week. So envious of Ten Beach Road. Enjoy all your nice new books!
Funny but I don’t have barely any of those!!!! So excited about THE RIDGE!
I hope you enjoy In the Belly of Jonah!
What a great diverse stack!
Tons of great stuff there! I also got The Beauty of Humanity Movement, and am so excited about reading it. I have also heard that In the Belly of Jonah is a great read too, so I will be anxious to hear what you think of it!
What a great variety! Happy reading!
I always love to see what you’ve gotten, Kathy. I’m looking forward to those Sandra Brannan books too. And, you got the new Michael Koryta! Wonderful!
Gee, I’m excited when I receive one book in a week and look at the stack you receive every single week! How in the world do you keep up – or don’t you? At least you’ll never run out of reading material.
I got a few — some as real books (I’ll always think of them that way) and some electronically. I’ll be posting about Goon Squad soon. And then I’ll be onto the new Joanne Beard.
You really did get a little of everything, didn’t you? I’m waiting for In the Belly of Jonah and Lot’s Return to Sodom. I look forward to see what you think of them.
Oh, you have lots of delicious books today, as usual. I just read and reviewed Ten Beach Road at http://curlupandread.wordpress.com/
Original Sin piques my interest, along with Before I Go to Sleep. Hope you enjoy them all.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
You get books on Sat! Our Canada Post is closed as Fri so we have to wait until Monday! Plus it being Easter weekend our last mail delivery was Thurs and not back up until TUESDAY! Poor mailman must think I’m berserk to stalk him
Great mailbox Kathy!
That’s a lot of great books, congratulations!
Whoa … that’s a haul!
Thanks for visiting NotJustReading, Bermuda. I’m envious of your Andrea Levy. My mother and I read Small Island some time ago and loved it. I’ll be watching for your review
A very full mailbox!! Happy Reading!
I just got a sample of The Long Song for my kindle last night! Enjoy your books!
Wow that is a lot of books Kathy! Ten Beach Road is one that I have been wondering about…it’s always fun to read something summery when nice weather is just around the corner!
What a great selection of books! They are all new to me, except for Ten Beach Road.
I can’t wait to read your thoughts on the Camilla Gibb book. Happy reading!
wow what a great mailbox! that will definitely keep you busy for quite some time. hope you enjoy all of them!
Looks like you got some great books. enjoy!
Some great reading this week, enjoy all of them.
Come by and see mine and my giveaways.
You got some great books in your “mailbox”, including Dancing with Gravity , which I hope you’ll review at some point.
Lots of books
I would not know where to start
Some new titles for me to look up and few I’m hoping to receive copies of. I know what you mean, I’m always excited when a new book arrives.
Busy mailbox!!! And some that look quite interesting. My tbr list is already too big but thinking it is going to get a lot bigger after reading your reviews.
You have a lot of new to me books that I will be checking out. That’s what is so nice about Mailbox Monday…I can add to my ever growing wish list. Enjoy!
I feel the same sense of excitement when a book shows up on my doorstep. While my pile does not often look like yours from this week I feel most fortunate.
In fact, I have formed a first name relationship with post woman and UPS 6:00 pm delivery guy because of it. I think they wondered what was in bags until we chatted.
Such a lovely pile o’books! And mostly new-to-me. Enjoy!
An excellent assortment of books. Some I have read, some I just received last week and some I would like to read. Enjoy!
I feel that little squee of excitement every time a new book lands on my doorstep. Ten Beach Road and The Long Song are both books I want to read. I look forward to your thoughts on them. Enjoy!
Such an amazing pile of books! I am looking forward to your review of The Long Song!
I* think they all sound great…you always get the best books!!
Wow, great list. The Ridge intrigues me. And I really enjoyed Ten Beach Road.
i so loved sandra brannan when i met her at siba and her book did NOT disappoint! i still need to write my review…hopefully now that i have a 2-week break from classes i can get it posted! how in the world do you find time to read all of the books you get each week???
I get a thrill too, but I don’t get nearly as many as you. HAving that many arrive might cause me stress after too many weeks!
Those sound good. I loved Original Sin.
Nothing better than a full mailbox of books! I just started listening toMichael Koryta’s Lincon Perry series.
My mom read In the Belly of Jonah and liked it — very gruesome though! I think she’s planning to read the second one in the series.
I’m really jealous of In the Belly of Jonah. I hope you enjoy it.
You have a great stack here Kathy. I really want to read The Long Song. Enjoy!
I have Original Sin via NetGalley, and I’m really looking forward to it. (And to The Ridge, which I also received this week).
Enjoy your reading!
I have The Beauty of Humanity Movement by Camilla Gibb and I hope to get to it soon. Her book, ‘Sweetness in the Belly’ is an all time favorite of mine. I hope you enjoy all of your books!
Wow, there are a lot of books there that are new to me. I look forward to seeing what you think of all of them!
Wow! So many wonderful books! I will be looking forward to your reviews.
Hi Kathy,
I always love to check out your Mailbox Monday post since you receive a lot of great books. And it looks like its the same thing this week. I hope you enjoy all of your reads. Thanks for posting : )
Those are some great reads! I won Original Sin through the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program, and I’m very excited to read it. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts. Just came across your blog…love it!
Wow – lots of reading ahead of you!
What a great lot of books Kathy! Enjoy!
So many terrific sounding books — enjoy!
Holy smokes! You had a fantastic week!
