In My Mailbox/Monday Mailbox - February 15, 2010


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. These memes are great in that they offer us a chance to see what others are reading- it's like candy for book addicts!

This week I received a very manageable number of books in the mailbox which is good since I seem to bring them in faster than I can read them!

Here is what arrived this week:


The Swan Thieves - Audiobook arrived from Hachette for review and giveway (see my sidebar for a chance to win!). This 17 CD audio edition features multiple narrators including Treat Williams and Anne Heche - I know this will easily fill the time during many a roundtrip to our site in CT.


Slummy Mummy by Fiona Neil - although I don't have kids, I thought this one looked funny and it came up on my PBS wishlist

Eternal on the Water by Joseph Monninger - this arrived from Simon & Schuster for review. The book goes on sale on Feb 16 and my review will post that same day. I love this book and can't wait to tell everyone all about it!

Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay - this is another PBS wishlist item that I have wanting for a long time.

What came into your mailbox this week? Have you read any of the ones I received?

  1. Ooh, I borrowed my sister's copy of Sarah's Key over Christmas and really enjoyed it - I sped through it and was completely antisocial to my family ;) I haven't heard of Eternal on teh Water, but I look forward to reading your review!

  21. Hello
    Thanks for stopping by my blog. All I really know about my ancestry is that my paternal grandmother came from Ireland when she was 5 and I believe they came through Canada and not Ellis Island.

    I have recently read The Far Land:An Irish Memoir by Thomas Rice which was excellent and am currently reading The Yellow House by Patricia Falvey...very good!!!
