Mailbox Monday

Welcome to Mailbox Monday! Each Monday we share which books we found in our mailboxes the week before, but be warned: Mailbox Monday can lead to towering TBR piles and out-of-control wish lists! This month our host is Rose City Reader. Thanks!

Last week was a great week in books for me, with lots of exciting new arrivals. In my mailbox I found:


A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Her Brother's Shotgun Wedding by Noreen Riley: Love the title!


Wither by Lauren DeStefano: As I wrote about in my Sunday Salon post, this one is out of my comfort zone, but I'm excited to give it a try!


Born Under a Lucky Moon by Dana Precious: For an upcoming tour, book releasing on Feburary 8, 2011.


Walking With Elephants by Karen S. Bell: Also for an upcoming TLC book tour.


Skipping a Beat by Sarah Pekkanen: I was insanely excited to find this in my mailbox after work on Friday night. I'm about halfway through, and yes, it is as good as the reviewers have been saying!


The Bird House by Kelly Simmons: A bonus in the package with Sarah Pekkanen's book. I'm excited to give it a try!

That's it for me for last week! What was in your mailbox?

  6. A Funny Thing etc could vie for the longest title with The Guernsey Literary etc. Love it! It sounds like a cute read. The Bird House looks interesting too. Enjoy your new reads, Jonita and have a great week!

  8. Oh, I really need to read Sarah Pekkanen's first novel before her second comes out! I've heard nothing but good things and actually met her at a Jennifer Weiner book signing in D.C. last year. She was so sweet.
