Oh!!! I hope you dig Vaclav and Lena! I just read it a few weeks back and LOVED it. Enjoy!
I hope you have a great week with your books!
It’s crazy how many books you get!! But very fun, too. I don’t think I received any books last week.
I need to get Mudbound. I finished When She Woke yesterday and now I need to read that too. Jordan is a great writer.
These are all new titles for me. I hope you enjoy them all! Happy Reading.
Wow! you had a great week in books
Enjoy!
I can hardly wait to hear about Little Blog on the Prairie.
I can’t wait to read Ready Player One. It sounds quite thrilling. You got some good books – enjoy!
Great haul Kathy. I hope u like Game of Secrets as much as I did!
Great books! I really like the sound of Little Blog on the Prairie! It just sounds so cute! Happy Reading!
You always get such terrific books! Happy reading, Kathy!
I have heard great things just recently about the new Hilary Jordan – I hope you enjoy Mudbound!
Great mailbox!! I’ve got Vaclav & Lena, Mudbound, and Ready Player One on my list at the library! Enjoy all of those great new reads!
Little Blog on the Prairie sounds cute- great mailbox this week!
I read the sample of Mudbound on my Kindle and was hooked. I haven’t bought it yet but it’s on my wishlist. I’m also looking forward to reading Ready Player One. Happy reading!
Fabulous looking mailbox! Hope you enjoy them all….I’ve been seeing The Stranger You Seek on a few blogs. Sounds captivating.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Little Blog On The Prairie sounds good – and The Stranger You Seek…. both new to me!
Aside from Mudbound, I don’t think I’ve heard of any of your books. They look good, though. Happy reading!
So many books! MUDBOUND is one of my favorite books. Lucky you!
Mudbound is wonderful – enjoy them all!
I also won Fallen, and I am so excited to get started with it! Ready Player One looks good too, and like something that I want to read, so I hope you enjoy it! Lots and lots of good stuff here this week. Hope that you have fun with them all!
All of these books look great Kathy and most of them are new to me! I wish I could read as fast as you because there are soooo many books out there that look awesome!
I am excited to read Q: A Timeless Love Story. I will be interested to see how you like Mudbound. Enjoy your books!
A terrific group of books, Kathy! Enjoy!
We got a lot of similar ones. I hear that MUDBOUND is excellent!
Hi Kathy,
I can’t believe what a haul of books you received in one week and such varied genres, there must be some great reads amongst that little lot!
I love Karin Slaughter and I am almost certain that I have ‘Fallen’ in my TBR mountain somewhere, either that or my dad has borrowed it and I am waiting for it to come back. Either way, it is a must read.
The other book that I like the look of is ‘The Stranger You Seek’, although the author is new to me. This sounds like a great read, full of tension and suspense, so needless to say, it’s on the reading list forthwith.
Thanks for sharing your great finds.
Oooh, Mudbound…that’s a good one!
What a mailbox!! Happy Reading!
Here is my Monday: Mailbox/What Are You Reading?/Musings post!
I am so hoping that I can get either one of the Hilary Jordan titles. They both sound fantastic!
They all sound good,The Stranger You Seek sounds interesting, enjoy!
I’m just now realizing I will never read all the books I want to get to. Your mailbox just drove it home for me.
Have a great week!
What a great stack. Enjoy!
Another great week of books. Fallen and The Stranger You Seek sound like something I would like. I am in awe of you. How do you do it?!! Read all those books, comment on so many blogs, and just life in general….do you sleep lol? You are my role model that I strive to be, I’d be happy with 50%.
I’m anxious to read Fallen but I didn’t win it. I received Cold Glory by B. Kent Anderson and The Magnificent Medills by Megan McKinney. Then I went to the library and couldn’t resist borrowing a Hamish Macbeth mystery and an Anita Shreve. I always have too much to read.
The review books look good and so do the wins!
Game of Secrets and Repeat It Today With Tears sounds very good. I need more time to read lol.
WOW – seriously Kathy – you are so going to have to bake a cake for the postman just for lugging all these goods to your mailbox
You got some good books this week. Game of Secrets sounds particularly good to me. Happy reading!
I’m waiting eagerly for my copy of Ready Player One.
I’ve heard MUDBOUND is good! I might have to grab myself a copy of that one!
Looks like you got some great books…happy reading
Whoa…that is one huge reading stack…have fun!!!
I have Mudbound, but I haven’t read it yet. Great mailbox as usual. Enjoy!
Great books! I am intrigued by Little Blog on the Prairie.
I got The Stranger You Seek and it’s good. Hope you like your books
Another Amazing week. I look forward to reading your thoughts on Mudbound.
I’m totally curious about A Little Blog on the Prairie!
I have heard Mudbound is amazing! I’ll be curious to see what you think of it.
I hope you love Mudbound as much as I did. I almost said enjoy but it is really dark.
Little Blog on the Prairie caught my eye because I loved the House on the Prairie series when I was a kid. Enjoy your stash!
As usual, a nice assortment. I have Ready Player One which I definitely want to get to this month. It sounds like my kind of book!
Little Blog on the Prairie sounds cute!
A Little Blog on the Prairie sounds so cute! What a wonderful mailbox you got this week. Enjoy them all and happy reading!
I received Fallen too. Maybe on our next car trip
Fat, heavy mailbox. Came to this rather late!
Vaclav & Lena is one I want to read. Enjoy your books!
I won a copy of Fallen too!!!
I so want to read Little Blog…I’m going to order it for my MS library 
Looks like you’ve got some great reading ahead!
I haven’t yet read MUDBOUND (but have it on my wishlist); recently read an advance copy of her next – WHEN SHE WOKE – and can’t wait to discuss it!
What an inviting stack of books
Little Blog on the Prarie sounds fun. I’ll be interested to hear what you think of it!
I have Vaclav & Lena on my TBR. I started to read it a couple weeks ago, but it wasn’t working for me at the time. I will have to try again later.
Kathy you had a great book week so many great titles there. Enjoy
Color me a little green! Out of all of the great books you received, I will say that if you haven’t read Mudbound before, you are in for a real treat! I absolutely LOVED it!
