ReplyDeleteGreat mailbox, Staci. Enjoy :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, you have some interesting looking books. I've been wanting to read The Distant Hours.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Louisa May Alcott: Behind the Woman...book.
Hope you enjoy all of your books, and thanks for visiting my blog.
Great list! :-) This week I am reading "The Blue Flower" by Penelope Fitzgerald.
ReplyDeleteThe Louisa May Alcott book piques my interest. I have The Distant Hours waiting to be read. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read The Distant Hours. The cover is so much nicer than the ARC, that was a disapointment...did you get the one with the plain blue cover?! I love the cover art on Salting Roses and will look forward to your reviews.
ReplyDeleteI am so curious about what you felt about the Gwen book, so very curious.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading thsi week
Everyone seems to be getting a copy of The Distant Hours! Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteYour books look so good Staci! I am curious about Salting Roses and drooling over your Louisa May ALcott book!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week of reading. They all look interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou have an excellent book blog -- so glad I found it! I skimmed through some of your most recent reviews and your review style is most informative. I'll be looking forward to your reviews of The Distant Hours and Louisa May Alcott as they are both books I've had my eye on.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I can count the two books featuring a womans back this time. The poses are a little different. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteI keep hearing great things about the Kate Morton book so I think I'm going to have to get ahold of it, I hope you enjoy it.
I shared this with Bermudaonion already but I heard a great interview with Harriet Reisen, the author of Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women, on the Diane Rehm Show. She was discussing the book so I thought I should share the link with you too.

I hope you find it as enjoyable to listen to as I did.
The Distant Hours is definitely on my TBR list. I hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteNice selections, they all look good!
ReplyDeleteI got Distant Hours a couple weeks ago and am dying to get started on it... as soon as I finish up a few other review books.
Pemberley Ranch looks interesting. Will be watching for a review. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI received for review "Lodestone Book One: The Sea of Storms" by Mark Whiteway from the author.
ReplyDeleteI got The Distant Hours a couple of weeks and can't wait to read it. The other two books you got sound really good too!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I just got Hothouse Flower, which I won from you. Thanks again!
I'm looking forward to your Heidegger's Glasses review. Hope you have a good reading week.
ReplyDeleteI really want to read the one about Louisa May Alcott.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on The Distant Hours right now. It's going slow for me for some reason but it is a great story. I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteAll of your new books look great to me. I got Louisa May Alcott too! One of the reps at SIBA raved over Salting Roses.
ReplyDeleteThey all look good, happy reading!!!

I'm hoping Shelf Awareness is sending me a copy of The Distant Hours. I drool every time I see that book! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about Distant Hours. I still have her book The Forgotten Garden sitting on my shelf. I need to read that soon!
ReplyDeleteThe Forgotten Garden and the Louisa May Alcott books are ones that I'm definitely interested in! Here's my Mailbox: Coffee and a Book Chick -- Mailbox Monday...
ReplyDeleteI've got The Distant Hours on my shelf as well...so excited to read it! And I just got The Debutante from the library based on your review so thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI've wished I had joined up with your Louisa May Alcott group. I do have one on my list for Christmas reading. Nice titles this week.
ReplyDeleteKate Morton seems to be a popular choice among bloggers : I'm constantly hearing positive things about her writing, and very little negative. I might have to give a try to her books at some point!
ReplyDeletegood looking covers. Have fun reading this week - looks like you have some good books lined up.
ReplyDeleteThe Distant Hours sounds really good. Enjoy! Can't wait for your Heidegger's Glasses review!
ReplyDeleteYou got a lot of great books it looks like! I haven't heard of any of them!
ReplyDeleteThe Debutante sounds really good. I've added it to my tbr:) Have a great week! Here is mine:

I keep having to leave "The Distant Hours" to get to a scheduled review book, and it's killing me! Salting Roses seems like it will be a wonderful read - great buzz on that one. I will also look forward to your review of Child of the Northern Spring - I think that one will need to go on my to-buy list soon!
