Mailbox Monday
November 7, 2011
I can’t believe it’s November already – we’ll be thinking about the holidays before you know it. I’m on my way home from my mom’s today. Carl sent me updates on my mailbox and took this photo with his phone for me – sorry, I couldn’t figure out how to crop it in WordPress. Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of A Girl and Her Books and is being hosted at Mailbox Monday this month. Here’s what I found in my mailbox:
Tuesday
- Out of Oz by Gregory Maguire came from Harper Collins
Friday
- Digital Photography by Henry Horenstein came from Hachette Books
- You’re (Not) the One by Alexandra Potter came from Penguin
- The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks came from Hachette Books
- The Puppy That Came for Christmas by Megan Rix came from Penguin
Saturday
- The Informationist by Taylor Stevens came from Random House
Did you get any new books last week?

Oh, I know the books that hit my heart. I want The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks and the Gregory Maguire. I’ve never read a Maguire book. Have always wanted to read one or more of his retold fairy tales. Have fun with your books.:::))))
I want Out of Oz! I must read this series.
I really liked the Informationist.
I also received the Informationist and think it sounds rather good. Enjoy your new books Kathy.
Looks like a lot of people received The Informationists this week. I hope you enjoy all your new reads! Happy reading!
The Informationist does sound good. The book on digital photography should be interesting. Have a great week, Kathy, and enjoy your new books.
Oooh, enjoy Out of Oz! I’ve only read the first one in the series but I loved it.
I’m so glad you mentioned The Informationalist. I wanted to read that, but thought it was The Revisionists, so I’m reading that instead, but now that I see that wasn’t what I thought I was reading…. (very confusing!)
These all look good. I haven’t read any of the Oz series but I think I’d like it.
I have the Digital Photography book too. I was so happy to get that one… when it comes to photography books I get overly excited.
I received Digital Photography too. Am hoping it helps me so I can post pics on my site since I am so tech challenged.
I’m curious about Out of Oz. Happy reading!
Good luck with the photography tips. I hope you share a few with us.
Congratulations on “Out of Oz”
It looks awesome!!!

I enjoyed Alexandra Potter’s Me and Mr. Darcy, so I can’t wait to hear what you think of her new book!
You’re (Not) the One by Alexandra Potter intrigues me since I’ve read one other of her books. I’ve heard good things about The Informationist. Enjoy your books.
Nice eclectic mix of books, Kathy. Happy reading!
I had enjoyed the Maguire series up until the third book, and then I thought it went over the top. I still enjoy his standalones, but these books just don’t really snag me the way they used to. Lots of great things in the mail this week! Enjoy them all!
I got Out of Oz, too- forgot to mention it in my post. Now I want to read the whole series, LOL
I picked up Out of Oz yesterday for some airplane reading and am enjoying it so far. I hope that you do as well!
Nice group of books, Kathy! I also received The Informationist and am looking forward to reading it. I’m curious what you think of You’re (Not) the One.
I hope you had a nice visit with your mom!
Happy Reading!
Isn’t Karl sweet, to assist you with blogging
I can’t believe it is Nov either, where did this year go.
I know I would enjoy , The Puppy That Came For Christmas, great mailbox.

I have heard seriously bi-polar things on Maguire, so I’ll be curious on that one. Have a safe trip home!
Out of Oz sounds like a fabulous read. I need to find out more about this book. Oz is just fantastic. Don’t you think? Enjoy!
I received Out of Oz, too! I was excited to see it, but if I’m going to review, I need to actually read the other books in the series. Whee!
You’re (Not) the One looks good (I just read the synopsis). Enjoy all your new books.
Nice group of books! I’m waiting on Digital Photography.
Alexandra Potter, interesting, I read a short story by her just recently
I have been meaning to read those Maguire books for the longest time. My friend Margo, has raved about them and I really respect her opinion when it comes to books. I can’t wait to hear what you think about this latest and last (I believe) one.
Great books Kathy! I got Out of Oz too but haven’t read any of Maguire’s other books, so I am unsure of whether this will work for me as a standalone.
I received The Informationist, too – I’m excited to read it!
Great mix of books. Love your display.

I love getting new books to read. Right now, I’m reading Black Thunder by Aimee and David Thurlo.
Another fantastic week! Enjoy them.
We got a few of the same ones this week.
I received the Oz book too…I so hate that series. I’ve been trying to give it away…no luck!
I also have You’re Not the One…now this one sounds good! Enjoy
The first and the fourth interest me most, but I hope you enjoy each of these, Kathy!
reading the Informationist now…and loving it!
You got some great books! Hope you enjoy them.
Out of Oz is the one that I want! enjoy them all.
Here come the Christmas books!!
Looks like a lot of fantastic reading – I particularly can’t wait to hear about your thoughts on Out of Oz! I love those books!
I’ve seen several of these books on other blogs. Will look for your reviews. Enjoy your reading week!
You will have lots of cozy wintery nights with great books to read…enjoy!!!
I’m so envious of The Out of Oz book! I’ve read and reviewed The Informationist ~ hope you enjoy it! Digital Photography looks like fun – especially with that great camera you’ve got! Have a lovely week
I received Digital Photography as well. I am really looking forward to getting to know my camera better. I hope you enjoy all of your books!
I just won The Informationist
Hi Kathy,
I have only read a couple of Nicholas Sparks books, but this sounds like a good one to add to my list.
I also quite like the sound of ‘The Informationist’ and that also seems to be popular with other bloggers who are already reading it.
I can’t say that it is a book I would be interested in reading particularly, but who can ignore the oh! so cute puppy on ‘The Puppy That Came For Christmas’?
Enjoy your reading
The Puppy That Came For Christmas just sounds cute.
I hope you’ll share with us your thoughts on Digital Photography. I’m on the lookout for a great guide (focused on d-SLR).
Enjoy your new books! I have been eyeing The Puppy That Came for Christmas, but I can’t decide if it is my sort of book. I just like the cover.
Great books Kathy! I just found out this morning that I won a copy of Out of Oz and can’t wait to get my paws on that! Happy Reading…
So many good books! Enjoy, Kathy!
