Looks like you have lots of great reading ahead!
Have I read T? Have I read T? I don’t think so. At this stage I’m wondering if Sue Grafton will still be alive when Z comes. I’ve been reading these books for what seems like ever.
Great week! I love that AC tote!
The Taste of Salt sounds a bit different. Enjoy them all.
Yep – love the tote! I know I have entirely too many, but I can’t resist totes!
I wouldn’t know where to begin Kathy…LOL enjoy
Another fantastic mailbox. Love the tote, can never have enough of those.
Great week for you….the Agatha Christie stuff is pretty neat. Is the tote pictured here? It looks like a table cover or maybe it is a very large tote.
Have a good week.

Great Mailbox! All of those titles are new to me. Enjoy!
Wonderful mailbox. Have a great reading week. Come check my mailbox!!

Thanks for visiting my blog….
Great mailbox this week and wonderful tote! Happy reading!
You always, always have such terrific books in your mailbox … enjoy!
Happy Monday, Kathy!
I am looking at your The Taste of Salt. Another fab mailbox
Good, good books. I luv that one title, Maman’s Homesick Pie. Have to see what that’s about. I luv the ABC murders by Sue Grafton. I’m only up to D. D Is For Deadbeat. Need to get to those soon again. Need to make a lot of reading goals for the fall and winter. Of course, I adore Agatha Christie. Never forget this story in my life. I got married in Philly. We drove to Tn. my husband’s home. While he drove, I read an Agatha Christie mystery. Wish I could remember the title. I’ve read a few of her titles. I haven’t nearly read all of her titles. Would luv to get back to the Perpetual challenge. Will soon. Good books this week. Always fun to peek in your mailbox.
Hi Beth, hope you’re writing.:)
Luved Snow Flower And The Secret Fan by Lisa See. Friendship. Hardship. Great book.
What a great mailbox! And I love Agatha, so I’m totally envious. Happy reading!
Cool totebag
Great mailbox Kathy. love the tote bag. Happy Reading
I got The Lost Wife, too. It sounds so good! Enjoy your new books.
Great mailbox! I like your new bag, and think that some of your new titles sound awesome! The Lost Wife sounds interesting, as does Maman’s Homesick Pie. I hope that you enjoy them all!
Great week! Cute tote too! Gotta love Cool Down with Agatha Christie!
Congrats on that great Agatha Christie prize! I got those same Algonquin books last week. Happy reading.
Another great week of books for you, Kathy! Yay! Love the Agatha Christie win, that tote is awesome! Booking Mama hosts some terrific giveaways!

I really like that tote! You got some awesome books this week!
What a great stack and I love the tote. Enjoy!
Your bag is wonderful! And I’m very interested in The Taste of Salt. I can’t wait to hear what you think of it.
Wonderful stuff this week… love it all! I haven’t read an alphabet murder since about “L” and we are on “T” already, wow.
I actually only received one book this week — The Uncoupling, by Meg Wolitzer. It’s something of a comfort to only receive one book since I’m totally overwhelmed!
Enjoy your newbies!
I saw a few I would like to read, wonderful mailbox.
Nice score with the ABC Murders and awesome tote. Have a great week of reading.
The ABC Murders is one of my favorite Poirot books. Hope you enjoy it.
I am consistently envious of your mailbox. Great stuff!
Congrats on your win! T is for Trespass is a good one. enjoy! Have a wonderful week and happy reading!

The Lost Wife sounds very interesting. Enjoy!
You found a book in your box almost every day? WOW! Lucky duck! LOVE the bag btw.
Congrats on your win! The tote is great! Maman’s Homesick Pie catches my eye. You always have the best mailbox!

Awesome books! Have a lot of reading them.
I super covet your totebag!
wow, lots of great books! I love tote bags.
That is one big pile of awesome books!
You have quite a stash of books…how many can you read in a week? Do you set deadlines for yourself?
I’m a little green!
Congrats on the wonderful prize pack AND on some great-looking books, especially A Taste of Salt and The Lost Wife! Enjoy your reading week!

Looks like you’ve got a bunch of good reading ahead! I’m especially curious about The Dubious Salvation of Jack V. Happy reading!
I’m so looking forward to your thoughts on The Grief of Others. You got a great variety of books. Enjoy!
What a great mailbox. Hope you enjoy each one!
What a great variety of books – something for whatever mood you’re in!
The Taste of Salt is on my wishlist. I also want to read more Agatha Christie but I never seem to find my way to them. They make great audiobooks for road trips. Happy reading!
I am really envious of your mailbox this week! Lucky you to receive The Taste of Salt…love Martha Southgate’s writing. T is for Trespass….I can’t wait to read this one, love this series.
What a great mailbox! I have been recommended Sue Grafton a few times but still haven’t read one of her mysteries.
Cool AC win. I finally picked up the frist Grafton but haven’t read it yet. Are you a fan of the series?
Thanks for visiting, Bermuda. I think ‘a little crazy’ is a good summary
Hope you have a good reading week.
The Taste of Salt is one I thought about taking as well but i ended up resisting. It isn’t my typical type of book but something in the description drew me in. I look forward to your review.
Nice collection, can’t keep up with you. I also recieved Where Ever You Go, and recieved The Night Stranger by Chris Bojhalian. Can’t wait to start reading both.
As usual, a lot of great books! I got a couple of these myself. Enjoy!
great haul! a lot of these books are new to me so i’m going to have to go read the synopsis and see if i should add any to my wishlist. hope you enjoy the books!
Have you read the Sue Grafton books? That is a series that I have been wanting to start!
Another incredible mailbox — love the tote! Happy reading!
