Mailbox Monday: Aug 16 2010


Mailbox Monday  is usually hosted by Marcia at the Printed Page; the meme will be doing a blog tour over the next few months - in August it is hosted by Chick Loves Lit.  Mailbox Monday gives us a chance to feature the books that came into our homes over the past week (and of course to check out what came in to everyone else's!)

It has been a few weeks since I have done a Monday Mailbox  so there is a lot to report on!

For Review:

Leaving Before It's Over: A Novel by Jean Reynolds Page
I Remember You by Harriet Evans
The White House Doctor: My Patients Were Presidents - A Memoir by Connie Mariano
I Know I Am, But What Are You? by Samantha Bee

From PaperbackSwap:

O Come Ye Back to Ireland: Our First Year in County Clare by Niall Williams and Christine Breen
The Luck of the Irish : Our Life in County Clare by Niall Williams and Christine Breen
Cost: A Novel by Roxana Robinson
Bombay Time: A Novel  by Thirty Urmigar

Have you read any of these books?  What came into your home this week?

    Courtesy of the library I got the two Kate Christensen novels I have not read yet - Jeremy Thrane and The Epicure's Lament - Dodie Smith's 1948 (should be a classic!) I Capture the Castle.

    First let me say What a great blog!!!Love your woman leaning on a tower of books and the colors are so pretty :)
    I am fascinated by the White House Doctor memoir, and the Samantha Bee book sounds hysterical.

    I heard a NPR review of the Connie Mariano memoir and it sound just great. May have to add that to my own list.

    Is that Samantha Bee like on The Daily Show? I would be curious about that one. Nice bunch of books!

    Thanks for stopping by today! I have Cost sitting on my book shelf too, a friend gave it to me after she read it. I find that if I put a book on my bookshelf it takes longer to read (I forget about it).

    Have a great week!

    The White House Doctor book would be very interesting to read I bet. Samantha Bee should be a funny one too! Enjoy all your new books!

    The White House Doctor really appeals to me, but then I love memoirs.

    I saw Connie Mariano on Jon Stewart a few months ago, and thought that the book sounded kind of fun. I hope you enjoy it!
