Your mailbox is awesome!!!
Great mailbox. Tumbleweeds and Roots of the Olive Tree appeal to me.
Holy mackeral! I’m in awe of such a mailbox! Penguin was really good to you this week. Have a good week and enjoy all your new books!
Wow! I would love to receive that many parcels in a week! And if they all contained books, well…enjoy them in the nice warm weather, it’s freezing here (I’m wearing ear muffs – inside).
Can’t wait to hear about these! I think Tumbleweeds is the only one I’ve seen around. I started hearing “Taking Care of Business” when I spied the Randy Bachman book
Jeez girl. You are keeping your mailman in business aren’t you?
Great week I’d say but Monday was clearly outstanding. Thanks for checking out my MM
Wow , quite a stack!
Impressive stack! I received Tumbleweeds on Sparky this week, and should be getting The Roots of the Olive Tree (from Vine) in the next day or two. Enjoy!
Here’s MY MONDAY MEMES POST
Wow, great mailbox! I’m excited to read Tumbleweeds. Enjoy all your new reads.
I got a lot of the same books you did last week. I don’t even know where to start – they all look so good!
Some really good books. I am curious about Tiger Hills! Enjoy!
You got WOW mailbox!
Here is my post.
So many books!! I’ve been eyeing Tiger Hills. Enjoy your reading week.
Wow, great week…and it doesn’t include BEA books!
Tumbleweeds really interests me as does The Roots of the Olive Tree which I also received. Some Girls, Some Hats and Hitler also intrigues me.
Happy reading, Kathy!
Tumbleweeds is one that I passed on, and am now kicking myself in the pants for doing so! Enjoy your new books Kathy!
Great haul! Plus, GCs are always awesome
That is a huge book haul!

Awesome pile!
You had an excellent week! Tumbleweeds is so pretty. Hope you enjoy all your new arrivals.
Oooo, some great sounding titles! You have a Summer of reading ahead of you. Enjoy.
Wow, I don’t know where to start here. Lots of new books for me to read about. Can never have too many cookbooks!
Wow, what a stack! Tumbleweeds and the Alex Wichtel book look especially good. Happy reading!
Hi Kathy,
I can’t believe how many books you manage to amass in just one week, nor how you manage to find the time to read them all!!
There are some quite diverse genres in your stack and as I can’t possibly add them all to my list, I guess I shall have to select just a couple.
Both of my choices, I have already seen highlighted on other people’s sites, but they do sound excellent.
‘The Roots of The Olive Tree’ and ‘Tumbleweeds’ (which has a beautiful cover as well).
I hope that you get to enjoy some of them this week.

You had a full mailbox!! Your mailman/upsman/fedexman must be great friends…ha ha. Even my mailman comments to me. Enjoy!!
Hi, Kathy! I am back from my vacation/blogging break. Your mailbox is outstanding and I hope you enjoy each of your new books. Wow! What an assortment! You certainly got a bonanza of books!
Oh me oh my…what will be your plan of attack?
Your mailbox is on fire this week! ROOTS OF THE OLIVE TREE looks amazing – part magic, part family mystery, part female relationships, all wrapped up in a multi-narrative! Happy Reading!!
Wow that’s a good week
WOW!! You must have a HUGE mailbox. Guessing your mail carrier has big arm muscles from carrying all those books lol. Can’t wait to see what you think of Tumbleweeds. How do you not get behind in reading with all the books you receive?
I laughed out loud when I saw your stack of books! Your poor mailman!!! LOL
I’m jealous about a few of those! Great haul!
I’m thinking your mailman must be tired!
I know mine actually noticed that I’ve been getting fewer books and asked me why. Perils of living in a small town.
What a fabulous stack of books! Happy reading
Oh me…So many links to click on!! Wonder how many of them I’m going to add to my Pinterest “Books I Want To Read” board?
Enjoy all of those great books.
Wow, all those books and we have only Friday’s in common.
I really loved Roses, so I’m hoping that I’ll be able to pick up Tumbleweeds as soon as possible. I’m sure I’ll love it just as much as her first.
I loved Tiger Hills. I hope you enjoy all your books!
Great haul again this week! I’ve seen Tumbleweeds around a lot this week, I’m curious about it. Enjoy your new books!
As usual a wonderful collection. Better Living Through Plastic Explosives sounds intriguing – enjoy!
another great haul!your house must look like the galley room at my bookstore!
Wow, that’s quite the mailbox Kathy!
Hope you have had a great week!
As always, I’m jealous of your mailbox. I’m curious what you’ll use your gift certificate on. Do you even need to BUY books? : )
That is quite the haul of books! Enjoy!
Tumbleweeds looks so pretty! Happy reading!
