Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page. We share what books that we found in our mailboxes last week. Here is what I got over the past couple weeks. I finally found some time to put this post together....forgive me!
- sent by Gabrielle at Penguin Publishing
I reviewed this lovely book last week and today someone is going to win my copy!
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov- this came via Brianne who is participating in the Reading Round Robin that Mellymel is hosting at Lit*Chick.
Comfort Food by Kate Jacobs- Melissa from Penguin sent this to me. I will be reading it later this week and hosting another giveaway so make sure you check back!! Isn't that cover gorgeous??!!!
The Siege of Macindaw by John FlanaganNumber 6 in the Ranger's Apprentice Series
- galley copy from Penguin.
The kids at my middle school are soooo jealous of me right now! I've had several offers of cookies, candy, and my ultimate favorite-Diet Dr. Pepper for life, if I let them read this!! I'm tempted.....
Joker One by Donovan Campbell-this came to me by way of Alyce @ At Home with Books. Really looking forward to reading this! Thanks Alyce for the opportunity to read this and review it on your blog.
The Love We Share Without Knowing by Christopher Barzak--I received this from the author by way of Nymeth at things mean a lot.
I hope to be able to participate more often. We shall see what the Mailbox holds for me in the future. What was in your mailbox this past week?
That is so cool you got all those great books. I am surprised you haven't taken up the offer for DDP, think of the $$ you could save, it is for life right?!!!?

Looks like some goodies arrived there. I hadn't heard of a few. Now to add them to my own wish list. Gee thanks! :-)
ReplyDeleteNice batch of books, Staci! I hope I win your giveaway *smiles*
ReplyDeleteYou know Comfort Food is right up my alley. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh - Comfort Food sounds DIVINE!! I'll have to come back and enter when you've got your giveaway up. :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my Mailbox! ~ Wendi
Yes, I'm certainly drawn to the via its front cover -- will you let us know how Comfort Food reads?
ReplyDeleteStaci-What an awesome first time Mailbox Monday!!! You have some great books on this list. I've got my fingers crossed for the Sonata for Miriam giveaway! OMG, I didn't know that Kate Jacobs has another book coming out so soon!! You are so lucky to snag a copy, the cover is gorgeous!! I can't wait for your giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice haul! You already know how I feel about The Love We Share Without Knowing, so no need to repeat it :P I loved Lolita too. Some of the most gorgeous writing I have ever come across.
ReplyDeleteSonata For Miriam looks so good - I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI think you'll love Lolita - and since Nabokov is one of my favorite writers, my opinion is very biased (but also very true!).
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had such wonderful things waiting in your mailbox this week :)
I sure hope I win Sonata for Miriam. I would be beside myself. Oh, Comfort Food-I really liked it however the Canadian cover is so different or maybe it's just the hardcover. I had read the hardcover of it. This is the cover I had-I really liked it too...

Enjoy all your goodies!
You have a nice bunch of books - quiet a variety of topics! I can't wait to see what you think of Joker One.
ReplyDeleteHere's my post.
The Love We Share Without Knowing by Christopher Barzak sounds good. I should look into it more. Is he new author?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great week for you! Looks like you've got some great reads in your future.

I just read about that The Love We Share Without Knowing by Christopher Barzak is stitched together by four stories with a comment thread. The book is set in Japan so I'll have to get it!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy Lolita. The subject is tough, but the writing is amazing. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great haul, Staci! You've got some great books there from the looks of it. It's so much fun seeing what other people are getting in the mail. My wish list continues to grow. Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to read Lolita for ages, but I'm hoping to finally get to it this year. And I'm definitely going to have to order The Love We Share Without Knowing sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteWelcome and thank you for stopping by the mailbox this week. I just added Kate Jacob's 'Comfort Food' to my wish list.
ReplyDeleteMatt- Barzak published his first book in 2007, One for Sorrow. Have you been to Japan?
