Mailbox Monday
May 30, 2011
Wow, another month has come and gone and here it is Memorial Day already. I hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday. This has been a busy month for me and June promises to be even busier, but it’s all good, so I’m not complaining. Since it’s Monday, 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:
Tuesday
- Don’t Kill the Birthday Girl by Sandra Beasley came from Crown Publishers
Wednesday
- LEGO Harry Potter Building the Magical World by Elizabeth Dowset and Ultimate Sticker book was a Twitter win from DK Publishing
- The Upright Piano Player by David Abbot came from Doubleday
- Promises to Keep by Jane Green came from Penguin
Thursday
- Skinny by Diana Spechler came from the author
Saturday
- Best Kept Secret by Amy Hatvany was a Twitter win from Atria Books
Did you get any new books last week?

All new to me. Enjoy your reads.
Jane Green, nice :=D Enjoy your books!
Haven’t heard of any of these. Enjoy!!
These are all new for me but they all look neat. Enjoy your reading!
Oh, these look good! I’ve been wanting to read Promises to Keep, and The Upright Piano Player looks captivating. Enjoy your books!
Here’s MY MONDAY MEMES POST
You got some good books this week. I have Upright Player Piano as well.
I hope they’re all great reads!
You got lots of other new books last week too — I can vouch for that!
The Upright Piano Player by David Abbot and Best Kept Secret sound great!
Happy Reading
Nice mailbox, Kathy! Amy Hatvany will be a featured author on Brava when her book launches. Happy Memorial Day, girlfriend!
I have a copy of SKINNY to read soon and I also got DON’T KILL THE BIRTHDAY GIRL. That one sounds really interesting. Enjoy your books, Kathy!
I also got Don’t Kill the Birthday Girl, and am really curious based on what I have heard about it. I think it’s not only supposed to be a story, but also that it’s filled with helpful tips about how to deal with those who have allergies. Should be very interesting. Great stack there, Kathy!
Great stack! I put in for Don’t Kill the Birthday Girl on Goodreads – we’ll see if I get it.
Great books in your mailbox! I’m looking forward to reading Best Kept Secret. I hope you enjoy them all.
Promises to Keep is great – although keep the tissues close at hand because it is a tearjerker! Enjoy!
This looks like a wonderful stack! I’ve seen Skinny around the blogisphere. Happy reading!
What a nice group of books, Kathy.
I also received The Upright Piano Player by David Abbott! I love the look of this book!
Enjoy your new books and I hope you have a nice Monday!
Thanks for visiting – I hope you have a great reading week too
Skinny sounds interesting!
I also got The Upright Piano Player a while ago, and it looks fabulous.
Here’s mine:

Lots of bloggers got The Upright Piano Player this week! Enjoy all your new books! (I’ll be curious to see what you think of Skinny — I’ve read mixed reviews of it.)
the HP lego kit looks like fun! i did score a few books this week, but still didn’t receive a cookbook i’ve been waiting (rather impatiently) for so i was a bit bummed. i can’t wait to see the goodies you reaped while in new york. one year i’m going to actually make it over the river and meet you guys in person!
The Harry Potter Lego kit is just plain cool. I so want to get ahold of that. Have a great week.
I’m reading Don’t Kill the Birthday Girl and it’s very interesting. Enjoy your June. Mine is going to be busy as well.
Building the magical world? Cooool!
Great books Kathy. Can’t wait to see your BEA books. I hope you will share those when they come.
Enjoy
looks like you got some great books. enjoy them!
Love Jane Green…I got the piano player one, too, although I am not sure about it…are you happy to be back home?
You had great week! Best Kept Secret sounds interesting. Enjoy!
Lego… HARRY POTTER…. WOW!
Another great mailbox for you! I see you’re reading The Bird Sisters. Looking forward to your review.
I can’t believe how fast this month went!! Loving your stack of books
I’m always amazed at how many wins you have via Twitter.
Wonderful mailbox!! Have a great reading week. I received only one book in my mailbox!!
Here is my Monday: Mailbox/What Are You Reading?/Musings post!
These all look like wonderful reads. I am also reading The Bird Sisters right now and loving it. I look forward to seeing what you think of it.
Great books! My boys love LEGO books. I recently bought them a couple and my youngest reads them constantly.
Have a great reading week!
This looks pretty small considering you just got back from BEA
Can’t wait to see your haul from there . I’ve already read about your party crashing and I’m interested in reading about your side of the story!
Wonderful selection. I will be quite interested in hearing your thoughts on SKINNY.
I have The Upright Piano Player too. That ones seems pretty popular this week.
You’ve got lots of great ones in there. Best Kept Secret is one I’ve been eyeing! Happy reading!
I’m so jealous of the Lego Harry Potter book – my kids would adore that!
You keep having twitter wins and yet I don’t think I have ever seen a Twitter book giveaway. Perhaps I ignore them? Congrats on so many books!
The Lego Harry Potter book sounds great. Enjoy all your new books!
I want the Lego Harry Potter book! Have fun with all of your books.
I’m reading Don’t Kill the Birthday Girl and so far so good!
Ooooo, Lego Harry Potter sounds like fun!
Promises To Keep was a really emotional read, I think you’ll enjoy it!
SKINNY sounds like something I’d love to read. Can’t wait for your review. I’m currently reading Karen E. Olson’s INK FLAMINGOS, sent by the author. This book will be released today (7 June)!
