The Oriental Wife and Put a Ring on It sounds really good. Happy reading!
The Van Booy book sounds great. I have the eBook, so I hope it is good.
What a great mailbox! Before Ever After sounds quite good as does the Super Mario book. Such a reminder of my childhood. Can’t wait to read your review. Enjoy!
They all look good. I love books like the Grammar Girl books. Enjoy!
Love the idea of Super Mario…. it did rule my house. My husband bought Nintendo for our son when he was just three days old (HA). I still joke about this. Love Super Mario.
Great collection of books this week. Have a wonderful day!
These look like some great books! We are such Mario fans in our home that the Nintendo book sounds fun to me…enjoy your new books!

I’m so jealous of your Before Ever After! Looks like you’ll be brushing up on your grammar…

I’ll be curious to hear what you think of the Grammar Girl books. Enjoy all your new reads!
Looks like a lot of great books. I hope you enjoy!!
I can’t wait to read your thoughts on the Grammar Girl’s books. Happy reading.

I’m interested in that Super Mario one, whenever you get to it. I haven’t heard of that at all and my household is deep into Wii. I grew up with Super Mario, so it hits home both places.
I am really curious about the Super Mario book. My brother and I grew up with it and my parents would also play with us. It was so much fun!
Looks like a lot of good books again this week Kathy. Enjoy!
I’m never not amazed by what you get in every week. Have a great week!
Fun mix of books — the Grammar Girl ones grabbed me! I’m reading Everything Beautiful Began After later this month!
oh, I LOVE the Grammar Girl..and could so use those books…lol
Watch for a giveaway of the Grammar Girl books soon!
What a great stack. Enjoy!
Oooo, looks like some good books here!
I recently read Everything Beautiful Began After, I really liked it, I hope you do!
I cannot wait to see what you are going to do with the Super Mario book…
Put a Ring on IT makes me want to dance to Beyonce tune with the same title… at least I think that’s the song. Before Ever After sounds like a romance 🙂
Enjoy this great stash of reads 🙂
I am unfamilair with most of these books Kathy. The Oriental Wife sounds excellent and I’ll be adding it to my wishlist.The Grammar Girl books also sound intriguing.
Can’t wait for your review of Put a Ring on It & The Oriental Wife. Super Mario and both Grammar Girl’s sound interesting too!
Put a Ring on It sounds like a book I would love. Happy reading!
Ooooh, I bet my husband would love Super Mario. Fun stack!
the Mario Bros. looks like I need to buy one for my sons.
I’m excited to have just started Everything Beautiful Began After. I’ve already started to hear great things about it. Looking forward to seeing what you think!
I’m curious about Super Mario. I definitely feel like I fell into the Nintendo generation. I was in elementary school when the original Nintendo came out, and I’ve always had a soft spot for my old Super Nintendo long after it became obsolete.
You always have the best assortment of books! Enjoy your reading.
As soon as I saw the Mario book in your stack I instantly heard the music in my head. He was a popular guy in our house along with Sonic, the hedgehog. I’ll have to watch for your thoughts on the book.
I didn’t get any of those!
I remember Super Mario! I had a lot of the Intellivision games and even they had a version of Mario. That sounds like a fun book.
Your mailbox looks great as usual!! I have Oriental Wife on my kindle from Net Galley. Enjoy!
I could use the Grammar Girls books!
I hope to get a copy of Before Ever After. I just got the grammar books in the mail today and they look great!
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your books.
Those grammar books sounds interesting. Happy reading
I’m intrigued by the Super Mario title.
I was really curious about the Super Mario book, but didn’t ask for it because I have too much on my plate already. I can’t wait to hear what you think of it!
I’m with Caite, and will be on the lookout for your Grammar Girl giveaways!
Just last week I sent my niece the link to her site (a question about the proper use of “got” came up, and I turned to GG for the answer).
Oh, this is the second time I see “Before Ever After” in the pile and count me too for looking out for this book. ☺ Sounds like a movie possibility when done well. I also couldn’t help but grin at the GG books. Pesky punctuation gets the better of me. Lolz. Happy reading and thanks for visiting. ☺
Super Mario has the geek in me excited.
I definitely want to read The Grammar Girl books. I follow her on Twitter and think she is just awesome! Enjoy all of your new books.
I’ve heard lots of gushing over the Simon Vany Booy book. I hope you enjoy it as much as others have seemed to! I may have to get The Grammar Girl books, I could stand to have a beter vocabulary for sure.
