Mailbox Monday
May 9, 2011
I had a great time visiting my mom and came home to a couple books. Things have been so busy lately, that time is flying by even faster than usual. I can’t believe it’s Monday again. That means it’s time to take a peek in my mailbox! Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of A Girl and Her Books and is being hosted by Mari of MariReads this month. Here’s what showed up in my mailbox last week:

- Save Me by Lisa Scottoline was a win from Bookin’ With Bingo
Monday

Wednesday
- Never Knowing by Chevy Stevens came from St. Martin’s Press

Save Me by Lisa Scottoline sounds great! I am really curious about Never Knowing.
Happy Reading!
I am excited for you that you received Lost in Shangri-La. You will love it.
ENJOY the book and all the others.

I loved Still Missing by Chevy Stevens. This is a new one for me so I am putting it in my TBR immediately.
I’ve read “The Baby Planner” and I really enjoyed it! The rest of your books look good as well- enjoy them all!
Nice haul Kathy. Enjoy your new loot
I was trying to figure out what that little creature was…a bookworm! He’s cute. Lost in Shangri-La got a pretty stellar review in EW last week. I can’t wait to hear about that one.
LOVE the book worm! Looks like it was a good haul for sure. Enjoy!
Some fabulous books this week. I am glad you had a good time at your mums too.
I’m curious to read you review for Save Me. I posted a review last week and while the book was entertaining I had some struggles with it that I couldn’t get past.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
You always receive such a wonderful selection of books – enjoy!
BTW – thank you for your audio recommendation – so important to find a good narrator.
How fun spending time with your mom.
I love the bookworm! Have a super reading week Kathy!
Enjoy your new books! I LOVE the little plush bookworm
Ooh, I am envious! Never Knowing is one I’ve preordered…so soon, hopefully. And I really need to read Save Me soon, too. It’s waiting on my Kindle.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Enjoy your books!
I’ll bet Lost in Shangri-la is good. This is a wonderful mailbox.
Mitchell Zuckoff was one of my professors at school, and he was awesome. I hope you enjoy his book. I have a copy of it on my nightstand, but have yet to read it.
Love the stuffed bookworm! I have heard a lot of good things about Wicked Bugs, so I will be interested in reading your review to see what you think of it. Great mailbox this week!
Glad to hear you had a nice visit with your Mom. Good to come home to some books in the mailbox. We’ve been away a little over two weeks and TBG is at the P.O. picking up the mail. I hope there’s a few goodies in there for me! Happy reading and have a great week!
Wow, you have a lot of great books to read! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on The Most Beautiful Walk in the World. This is definitely my type of memoir…Paris plus literary walking tours sound really fascinating.
Glad to hear you had a nice visit with your mom. You had some fine goodies to greet you when you came home. How cute is that bookworm? I have Never Knowing here and hope it is as good as Still Missing. That was one riveting read! Save Me is another i really want to read. Enjoy your new reads and welcome home!
I never knew bookworms were so cute. I have new books coming but less time to read now that I have yard work to do.
We got many of the same. Love my book worm!
I can’t wait to hear what you think of Save Me, it sounds so interesting. Loving the Bookworm, how cute he came with Wicked Bugs.
Looks like yet another round of fantastic books!! Can’t wait to hear what you think of them!
Lost in Shangri-La looks so good – it was reviewed in Entertainment Weekly this week!

Great stack of books this week Kathy and I love the stuffed bookworm. I know someone else in my house – Sammy – who would love it! He seems to think everything is his. lol.
Great mailbox this week, I hope you enjoy them.
I got Lost in Shangri-La too. I am so jealous that you received Never Knowing. I was really hoping it would show up in my mailbox. I hope you enjoy all of them!
Great mailbox; enjoy your books.
Wow, you mailbox sure filled up with some great titles. Anxious to read your thoughts on them.
The bookworm is adorable! But I read a review of the book, Wicked Bugs and I know it’s not a book for me! I wonder what you’ll think of it!
As usual, a wonderful stack of books! Enjoy, Kathy!
What a great stack. Enjoy! The bookworm is too cute.
Save Me is one I’ve been interested in since seeing it on a few blogs. Love the title of Man with a Pan! Enjoy all of those new books!
What a mailbox! Never Knowing, The End of Everything and This Life Is in Your Hands sounds interesting. Enjoy!
I received Never Knowing last week too. I am really looking forward to reading it!
Can’t wait to compare notes on Never Knowing and Save Me. Both are in my tbr pile.
Oh I’ve been wanting to read Man with a Pan (love that title!). Can’t wait for your review!
Those books look great! Enjoy!
Lost in Shangri-la is that a fiction or a memoir ?? Going to look it up.
Another great mailbox Kathy
It’s as though you have been touched by the book fairy and Monday’s are your magical times!!!
Wicked Bugs is a book that’s on my tbr list. Happy reading!
This Life is In Your Hands is fabulous, and I’m really enjoying Lost in Shangri-La. Wicked Bugs is on my TBR list. Hope you do too!
Most of these titles are new to me. LOVE the bookworm
I’ve heard such good things about Lost In Shangrai-La. Hope it is as good as they are saying.
Nice looking group of books. I have Save Me and Never Knowning on my stacks too.
A lot of new titles! I have seen Lost in Shangri-La around. Looking forward to your review.
Lost in Shangri-La sounds amazing! I’d really like to read The Most Beautiful Walk in the World. I’d love to visit Paris one day. I’m going to add that to my TBR list.
Man with a Pan sounds like an entertaining read.
Bonne lecture! (Happy reading!)
I love the stuffed bookworm! I haven’t heard of most of the books you got this week — hope you enjoy them all!
I hope you enjoy Lost in Shangri-La
Another nice week for you. I love the little bookworm!
Lisa Scottoline is one of my mom’s favorite authors. Enjoy your books!
Do you actually agree to review all of these books that come your way or are they sent to you blind?
I just LOVE the bookworm! Amy Stewart’s books are such fun reading.
We were able to hear Melissa Coleman read a bit of THIS LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS at a NEIBA meeting last month. She said she HAD to write it (to process her childhood) when her own children got to be about the age her sister was when the accident happened.
I read The Most Beautiful Walk in the World during my honeymoon on the train up to Paris. It was a wonderful book and really made me more aware of the Paris literary lifestyle. I hope you enjoy it. It was a perfect guide to use when walking around the Latin Quarter.
All these books are new to me and I’m green with envy, Kathy. It’s been a long, long time since I bought books. I did get a healthy dose of free books on Kindle, though. And bought three yesterday.
