What a “FAB” mailbox.
ENJOY!!!
Oh, give me some Steven Tyler and I’ll be happy! Haha actually I can’t imagine what a BOOK would be like…I just like the man and his music. Enjoy your stack!
You had a good mailbox week. I have been looking at that Erik Larson book. I think it is going to be really good. I hope you like it. I happened to see it on Goodreads. I like the title This Burns My heart. Although, I don’t know anything about the book. I bet it’s good too. Enjoy~
I’m still Tea at http://readwithtea.blogspot.com
Great loot. I’m curious about Larson’s new book. enjoy
Argh! I so want the Steven Tyler book and the Erik Larson book. Unfortunately, the Tyler book is not on audio. I was hoping.
Sandy, it is on audio. That’s the audio version I have.
I’m so jealous that you got Steven Tyler’s book – what fun! You had a great Mailbox week!
Makes me feel a little better about my mail box yesterday.
I am listening to the Steven Tyler book now and it’s very entertaining!
Another great week of books. When do you find the time to read them all? I am doing something wrong lol. The new Claire Cook book…can’t wait to see what you think.
This might just be your best week ever. I am envious, but only in a friendly envy way.
Will you be at BEA on Wednesday, by chance?
These are all new to me, except for Heart of Deception, which I read recently. Looking forward to your thoughts on it.
What a great mailbox Kathy. All new titles to me except Beauty Queens.
Enjoy and ahve a blast in NY and BEA.
I’m excited about the new Erik Larsen book. His are non-fiction that really enjoy.
Looking forward to your thoughts on In the Garden of Beasts.
I read the Help last week. I’m sure it was in your mail box ages ago but really enjoyed it.
Lots of great titles this week. I too am expecting The Homecoming of Samuel Lake from Library Thing; I will look for your thoughts on that one, and the others.
I am particularly “jealous” of the Steven Tyler book – I didn’t realize it was on audio. I assume he narrates it?
It’s actually read by Jeremy Davidson, but features a conversation with Steven Tyler.
Definitely jealous of your fabulous mailbox! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Jamrach’s Menagerie, since I’ve heard mixed reviews. Have fun reading!
What a great group of books this week! I have been wanting to read Steven Tyler’s book too. I’m sure it is not boring!
I pre-ordered Best Staged Plans this weekend! I had to have it! I can’t resist a Claire Cook book!
I really want to read Beauty Queens by Libba Bray – I loved Going Bovine!
I’m waiting for The Homecoming of Samuel Lake from LibraryThing and I’m dying to read the new Larson book. I loved his book about the serial murderer in Chicago during the 1893 World’s Fair.
Another great week of wonderful books! That’s a tall stack, Kathy! Enjoy!
wow! what an incredible mailbox! have fun tackling all of those books!
Nice selection. I didn’t get any books but I did download a few to my Kindle.
Oh, your mailbox looks awesome! Enjoy!! Best Staged Plans is one I’m wanting….
Thanks for visiting my blog.
I’ll bet the Steven Tyler book is an interesting read!
What a lovely assortment of books you received! I’ve seen Beauty Queens around in a few mailboxes and it looks great. The Steven Tyler book looks like a good one for audio format. Happy reading!
Ooh, fun, you got Claire Cook’s new book! And I can’t wait to hear about the Steven Tyler book
That Stephen Tyler book should be fun!

Loved, loved Cut – Have a great week. I know it will be a busy one!
Great stack!
You got great books! Heart of Deception and Cut sounds interesting.
Fantastic mailbox, enjoy!
What a great mailbox this week! It sounds lovely
I’m so excited about the Samuel Park book! I also received it two weeks ago and can’t wait to start it!
I have seen the Libba Bray book and it looks fun and weird, lol
Wow, what an amazing week you had! So many great books!! Enjoy them all and have another wonderful week.
I really enjoyed Heart of Deception – I hope you do too!
Reading In the Garden of Beasts now and its really good. Enjoy all your new books!
Holy stuffed mailbox! You certainly received a lot of books. Happy reading, Kathy!
I’m really looking forward to reading The Very Thought Of You — so many great historical fiction novels have been hitting the shelves lately!
Great stack, as always. I’m interested to see what you think of the Steven Tyler one.
I can’t wait to read In the Garden of Beasts. I put it on request at my library but am #40 in the queue. I have a feeling I am going to break down and buy this one!
WOWZA!
Can someone please pick me up from the floor… please
Another amazing Mailbox and the one I’m really interested hearing about is This Burns my Heart. Read and please divulge if it is a MUST Read soon.
Now excuse me while I go back to collapsing back on the floor ;P
Yet another fantastic stack! Happy reading!
You’ve got a great mailbox, as always! Enjoy your reading!
Your stack of books always knocks my socks off!!
These are all new to me books. Will check your reviews since some of the titles caught my eye.
As always, you have some interesting books, but I’m most curious about the Steven Tyler one!
I received the new Erik Larson one too, and I am excited to read it. Who wouldn’t be after The Devil in the White City?!?!?
Enjoy your books this week!
I bet the Tyler book will be very interesting! I had thought about picking that one up this week, and can’t wait to hear what you think of it!
I wondered the same about the Steven Tyler audiobook – nice that an interview w/him is included. He’s brilliant (a bit rambling, but brilliant).
That new Erik Larson book looks fantastic!
I’m so jelous about the amount of books you’re getting!
Heart of Deception sounds good.
Thanks for stopping by my MM and happy reading!
I’ll bet the Steven Tyler book is a hoot!
I also got In the Garden of Beasts and This Burns My Heart. That is a very impressive haul!
I didn’t know Libba Bray had a new book coming out but I am now looking forward to it. I’m curious to hear what you think of Steven Tyler’s book. I hope you like it because it will give me a reason to buy it!
Holy moly, that’s a full mailbox!! I’m envious, but I wouldn’t know how I’d get those all read anyway…
Have fun reading!
You got some great books! I’ve got to admit that the Stephen Tyler one has me a bit intrigued as well!
Great batch of books….I think I’m always leave this post feeling a little sad since I don’t have half the great books you get. Have a great week.
fantastic books this week Kathy. Hope you enjoy them all.
Can you guess which book I’m jealous you got?! You know it has to be Steven Tyler’s book. Happy reading.
Wow! So many books! I will be looking forward to your thoughts on Beauty Queens ; I loved the Gemma Doyle trilogy by Libba Bray, so I am hoping that her latest will be great too.
So many great books! Happy reading, Kathy!
My family has been abuzz all week about the new Erik Larson book. I haven’t decided yet if I want to read it or not. Great loot!
