Mailbox Monday

Another week has flown by, and this time it’s brought us some cooler weather. Hopefully that means more time to read. Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of A Girl and Her Books and is being hosted by Serena of Savvy Verse and Wit this month. Here’s what I found in my mailbox last week:

Yay, Wither was very good
Enjoy!
The new Allison Winn Scotch is on my wish list – hope they’re all good reads, Kathy!
WOWOWWOW —-I am particularly envious of The Sreet Sweeper. I want that book:) enjoy them all Kathy.
Wow – a good week
I can’t believe you got all those books on Monday alone!
We got similar boxes from Penguin! You are very lucky to have gotten that Jamie Oliver book. I’m a fan of his but own none of his books. Lots of Weekend Cooking people have shared his recipes and they all look good.
Love the Jamie book, some excellent recipes in there! Enjoy your books!
Wither was such a good book, and I picked up the sequel at SIBA that I am just dying to get to! I love your new stack, and hope that you have fun with all of them!
Forgotten Country is a book i’d love to read! Enjoy!
I’m surprised your mailperson survived Monday! What a wonderful haul this week. Alison Winn Scotch is one terrific writer. Enjoy all your new books!
I have Wither too! A good delivery this week for you hun.
It looks like you won a Penguin Book sweepstakes! Great week for you! I don’t know what book to comment on first, so many are very enticing! Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution really interests me, though!
Enjoy, Kathy!
Happy Reading!
I live near a Penguin warehouse which has an annual book sale with super prices. Everyone I know goes, many to buy children’s books for Christmas giving. I haven’t been able to go for several years but I hope to get there this year.
Whoa … what a terrific mailbox. I’m curious about The Street Sweeper.
Have a great week, Kathy!
Great mailbox!!! They all look good!!
Your mailbox was over-flowing!!
I received 3 books last week, from Eleanor Brown an extra she had of When She Woke. When I met Heather for coffee she brought me She Makes It Look Easy, a win from her blog, and Folly Beach, just because…it was such a special treat!!
Wow, what a haul! And you got so many on Monday….that’s a wonderful gift. I’m looking forward to the new Allison Winn Scotch book. I’ve enjoyed every one I’ve read. Hope you love all of your books.
Here’s MY MONDAY MEMES POST and
MY WEBSITE
Looks like another week of fantastic books! The Gods of Gotham is calling to me…calling!
Holy crap! That must have been a big box that came from Penguin! Enjoy your books
I’m jealous about the Allison Winn Scotch book. Can’t wait for your thoughts!
I want to read Jamie’s Food Revolution…and Street Sweeper sounds interesting… Happy Reading!
Food Revolution? Cool. I like Jamie Oliver.
Woah, what a week in Penguin books…happy reading.
Penguin must really love you! The titles are all new to me so I look forward to your thoughts on them. Great mailbox!
It never ceases to amaze me how many books come to you! I know you read like crazy so that is just awesome. Enjoy all of your new goodies!
Awesome books, Kathy. I bet you’re feeling the love from Penguin. I’ve only read Wither, and I thought it was fantastic.
Enjoy your new reads & have a great week!
A full mailbox, They sound great, enjoy!

I think the Jamie Oliver book would be interesting, though I’ve only seen the show a few times. Hope you have a great week!
I’ve really wanted to read Wither and Forgotten Country sounds very good. Enjoy!
So much for getting caught up on your tbr pile! I want to get my hands on that Jamie Oliver book, love his recipes.
Here I am! 1:00pm, I’m done with the yard and now am making my rounds. I read a book by Elliot Perlman that was so good (looking it up) Seven Types of Amiguity. SO GOOD. Before my blogging days, but it was brilliant. I am excited about that one.
Wow, so many good books! I really liked Wither. I hope you enjoy them all!
Gin Phillips has a new book? Woo-hoo!!
Wow, lots of books from Penguin! Food Revolution looks good and I’ve wanted to read Wither (had to turn it in to the library before reading it because it was overdue).
Hi Kathy,
What’s the secret of getting so many review books from Penguin? Do you have a ‘mole’ inside the company, or an underground tunnel into their warehouse? LOL
Such a diverse range of genres and storylines, I wouldn’t know where to start first.
The only book amongst your haul that I wouldn’t be rushing to read would probably be Jamie Oliver. I am really not into cookery books at all. Don’t get me wrong, I love food and eating, but can’t really be bothered about cooking anything fancy just for the two of us at home.
Look forward to some great reviews from that load of books.
I have some serious mailbox envy right about now. Looking forward to seeing what you think!
Wow, that’s a full mailbox. Ah, which to read first? Enjoy your new additions
I have only heard of 1 from your list, how ridiculous is that
Enjoy
Holey Moley!!
Kathy your poor mailbox must have been bursting at the seams this past week? Enjoy you got some great titles.
I still need to read Wither. I will have to get to it soon. Great mailbox!
Looks like a great stack. Enjoy!
That’s a pretty good week with some amazing books!
Oh great stuff. Enjoy!!
Awesome mailbox goods…I adore Jamie Oliver…and Wither should be awesome…the others I will be checking out…
Jamie’s Food Revolution has my interest. Happy reading!
Look at all of those books! I love Jamie Oliver’s cookbooks. Hope that’s a good one.
Great looking stack of books! I was surprised at how much I liked Wither.
Oooooooh, I am jealous of your loot! Lucky you!!
wow! what a mailbox! this should keep you busy for quite some time. hope you enjoy all of the books you got this week!
I guess this week’s mailbox has made your TBR stack re-grow after the last few weeks where you said that you made a dent, lol.
Enjoy them all!
You have an amazing collection of books to read! I’m amazed that you can get them all read and reviewed:) They are all new titles for me so I look forward to your reviews.
I should clarify that….I should say “envious” instead of “amazed” that you can get all of them read and reviewed:)
India Becoming has me curious. I need to check that one – I haven’t heard of it before, but the premise is interesting. Enjoy your books.
Great books this week! I love Penguin books – I don’t think I have read one I didn’t like! Happy reading!
If I was into YA books, I’d have to grab Wither if anything for the cover.
The few times I caught Jamie’s show I was excited by what he was trying to do. I hope his enthusiasm comes through in the book.
Another good haul of books for you there!
My health problems are ongoing (thanks for your well-wishes). I have Bipolar Disorder and sometimes it kind of takes over :S
Ooooh, I didn’t know Allison Winn Scotch had a new one out. I’ll have to check into that one. Looks like you have a pretty good pile this week. Enjoy.
Wow, love all those Penguins! Well done
Wow! It looks as though you got ALL of the new Penguin releases! Woot! Enjoy all of the new books and congrats on the wins!
I hope you enjoy Wither!
You got a lot of love from Penguin! Great stack. I’ve read Wither and quite enjoyed it. I hope you do as well.
I hope you are enjoying your books!
