Story Siren hosts In My Mailbox where book bloggers offer a peek into the books that arrived in their homes over the past week. Mailbox Monday hosted by Marcia at the Printed Page has the same objective - I can relate to the warning that accompanies this meme on her website: "Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists"
Each week I write this post promising that I will have no new books in the following week - so far I am 0 for 3! New batches of books are arriving every week - I guess there are worse vices than books, right?
The Crazy School by Cornelia Read- this is a review copy that arrived from Val at Hachette Books (thank you!). Looking forward to reading and reviewing it - I will also soon be doing a giveaway for this book.
Absolute Power (audiobook) by David Baldacci- this is my first book read or listened to by Baldacci and so far it has me drawn in! I received this courtesy of Miriam at Hachette Books and I will soon be hosting a giveaway for it
- Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession
(audiobook) by Julie Powell- I won this in a giveaway on All About n - thanks again Nely!

ReplyDeleteYou lucky girl, you got "Cleaving", I heard great things about the book. Enjoy..
ReplyDeleteCleaving was a mixed bag for me personally, but I would enjoy hearing the author read her writing.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all your books!
The Crazy School looks so cute. My mailbox is at The Crowded Leaf.
ReplyDeleteTHey all look good, thanks for stopping by the other day and commenting my review of Rich Again by ANna Maxted, I liked the book although I read some reviews where people didn't...
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice mix. I still haven't read "Julie and Julia" but it is nice to know she has a follow-up in case I really like it. Enjoy your books.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to resist books. :-) I've been wanting to read something by Cornelia Read for awhile now. I'll be curious to know what you think of the book you will be reviewing. Sacred Games is also one I want to read. It sounds like something I would really like.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your new books!
@Jenners - I will post a review of Cleaving soon!
ReplyDelete@ Literary Feline - check back later this week - I will have the giveaway for the Cornelia Read posted.
