Mailbox Monday/In My Mailbox: July 26, 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!

Here is what has arrived since my last IMM/MM post (almost 3 weeks ago!)

With Friends Like These: A NovelThe Castaways: A NovelWaxed: A Novel
Netherland (Vintage Contemporaries)The Inn at Lake DevineJan's Story: Love lost to the long goodbye of Alzheimer'sNights Beneath the Nation

What arrived in your home this week?

  2. i read 'the castaways' a few weeks ago, but didn't enjoy it too much. let me see if i can go dig up my review here. hopefully you'll have better luck with it and enjoy it more than i did. although i will admit that i was probably a little harsher on the book than usual.

    have fun on your vacation! i can't wait to read your review of 'the corrections' and see if it's worth reading. it's quite a monster.

  3. I'll be interested to read your post on Netherland. I read it last year and thought it was beautifully done, though I'm having difficulty putting into words exactly what it was that I liked about it.
