Mailbox Monday
May 21, 2012
Welcome to Mailbox Monday, a meme started by Marcia and hosted by Martha of Martha’s Bookshelf in May. Last week was another busy week but I didn’t do anything all that exciting. I did, however, find some exciting things in my mailbox. Here’s what I got last week:
Monday
- A Hundred Flowers by Gail Tsukiyama was a win from St. Martin’s Press
Tuesday
- I Love Corn by Lisa Skye came from Andrews McMeel Publishing
Wednesday
- Sea Change by Karen White came from Penguin
- Wallflower in Bloom by Claire Cook came from Simon & Schuster
Thursday
- City of Women by David R. Gillham came from Penguin
- The Prisoner of Heaven by Carlos Ruiz Zafon came from Harper Collins
- People Who Eat Darkness by Richard Lloyd Parry came from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Did you find any goodies in your mailbox last week?

Doesn’t Sea Change look great?!? Can’t wait to see what you think of it. Enjoy your new books!
These look a great selection, I must investigate some more
I did get a book or two, but nothing like your mailbox! Oooo. So envious!
Here’s my
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? I’d love to have you stop by!
Just like the sound of all your books!
I got Sea Change as well…jumped all over that one. I am reading the Vivan Swift Paris travel journal, then I’m reading that one next.
Great week Kathy. I’m looking forward to A Hundred Flowers. I have the eGalley. enjoy
Some good looking books in that list!
You got very interesting books this week! People Who Eat Darkness, City of Women and A Hundred Flowers sounds particularly interesting.
That’s a great pile of books. I’ve read People Who Eat Darkness, so I’m really looking forward to your thoughts on that one. Suffice it to say, that was one of those books you just couldn’t get out of your head. Enjoy your new reads!
Third blog now that I’ve seen Sea Change on I am now officially obsessed with reading it myself.
City of Women looks good.
Wow! I have to have Sea Change….enjoy! I’m expecting Wallflower in Bloom next week, I think.
Have fun! Here’s MY MONDAY MEMES POST
Lots of great stuff! This spring/summer is so amazing for new books.
Those sound like some fabulous titles there! Enjoy your books! My mailbox.
E Rey single book looks delightful…I can’t wait til you try some of the corn recipes!
Okay…blame my iPad… E Rey is supposed to say every!!!
It changed it!!!
Claire Cook seems like such a fun author — must really pick up one of her books soon! Lots of great ones here.
Sea Change sounds interesting (thanks for the link) I can’t wait to savor Tsukiyama’s newest. Have a great week and happy reading!
I’m trying to figure out if People Who Eat Darkness is a true crime book or a novelization of the crime. If it’s the former, I may give it a try. Have a great week.
It’s true crime and looks pretty good.
AH! New Ruiz Zafon! I’m so excited! I’ll have to get him as I completely adore his writing. The rest sound great, but new Ruiz Zafon! That’s something to celebrate.
Sea Change is popular this week- looking forward to your review. A Hundred Flowers caught my eye too. Happy reading!
Lots of great reads, A Hundred Flowers caught my eye.

You received some intrigung books this week! Sea Change, A Hundred Flowers and The Prisoner of Heaven look great! People Who Eat Darkness is a wonderfull creepy title. I haven’t looked it up yet but I’m guessing the ‘people’ are either victims or the ones hurting ‘people’.
Enjoy, Kathy!
Such great books in your mailbox! Some of which I want to read. I looking forward to reading Sea Change.
I LOVE CORN is such a neat title. Happy reading!
Your mailbox posts are the reason my wish list is rolling out the door and down the street because it’s so long.
Several of those titles look like they will be good. I can’t wait to read your thoughts on them.
Great haul. I like how you take a picture of the whole stack. I may start copying you.
wow! what a great haul. you got so many great books this week! i can’t wait to see what you think of the new karen white book. hope you enjoy all of them!
I see a couple I want to read. Going to check out People Who Eat Darkness.
A nice full mailbox, enjoy them all.
A ‘corn’ cookbook. What a great idea! And Sea Change looks very good. Have to add that one to my list.
Great books Kathy. Since its a holiday here today we have no mail. I hope you enjoy your books
See you soon
Looks like you got some great books…Happy reading. Cannot wait to read Sea Change
Oh my…all of these look wonderful.
I am excited to see Carlos Ruiz Zafon has another book out. Yippee. I loved his SHADOW OF THE WIND.
A HUNDRED FLOWERS and SEA CHANGE caught my eye too.
ENJOY!!!
City of Women is one that I’ve been hoping to get, so I guess I just cross my fingers and wait and see.
Zafon? i do love him
Zafon is my all-time favorite author.
I look forward to every Monday to see your mailbox. And it’s another good one!! Two books are going on my wish list, Karen White and Claire Cook. Have a great week!!
City of Women and The Prisoner of Heaven are both on my WL. Count me as another who loved Shadow of the Wind. Happy reading!
