Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of A Girl and Her Books and is being hosted by Staci of Life in the Thumb this month. It has been some time since I posted a Mailbox Monday so there is quite a bit to report:
The Orphan Sister
Where's My Wand?: One Boy's Magical Triumph over Alienation and Shag Carpeting
Life After Yes: A Novel
The Miracle of Grace
Red-Robed Priestess: A Novel (The Maeve Chronicles)
You Don't Sweat Much for a Fat Girl: Observations on Life from the Shallow End of the Pool
Coming Up for Air
The Coffins of Little Hope
What arrived in your mailbox this week?
I didn't really like Life After Yes, I'll be interested in your review. The Orphan Sister is on my wishlist. Enjoy and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI just love Celia Rivenbark - she cracks me up on Twitter!
ReplyDeleteWe did get a few of the same books. Glad to hear the Riverbark bok was a good one. It does seem hilarious!

ReplyDeleteSo many great books! Life After Yes particularly intrigues me. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteYou got a lot of good books to keep you busy...enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou had a great week! I'm glad to see the Rivenbark is so good. She's coming here for a Book Your Lunch event and I'm waiting to read my copy right before she comes.
ReplyDeleteGreat books! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYou Don't Sweat Much... is on my tbr list. Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteYay for Life After Yes! That was my favorite book of 2010 and a story I think about often. Hope you enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteLots of new-to-me titles there. The Fat book does sound funny.
ReplyDeleteI was reading Ellis Island but sadly I had to return it to the library. I ordered a copy of it this morning. It was good but I knew I didn't have the time to get it read today. I'll be on the lookout for more of Kate Kerrigan's books.
ReplyDeleteLots of new-to-me titles too! Enjoy your new reads!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of most of these, but they sound good. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWow, great selection of books! I'm very interested in The Orphan Sister and Coming Up for Air and You Don't Sweat Much...sounds funny and terrific.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Life after Yes was just an okay read for me. I love the sound of You Don't Sweat Much and Where's my Wand
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your reading this week :)
Great finds! I hope you enjoy them all! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhere's My Wand- so loving that title!! Great looking books for sure. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of these books before but they look like good ones to have, especially You Don't Sweat Much for a Fat Girl. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI just finished "The Orphan Sister" this week, and I LOVED it!!! The writing is beautiful, the content is moving, the characters are interesting, the situations are strange and real. I'm still wiping tears from my eyes (I'm sure the multiples aspect particularly hit me, as a father of identical twins). I have thoroughly enjoyed Gwendolyn Gross's 3 previous books, and I'm so grateful to her for yet another wonderful book!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought is was very good too - I liked how she linked all the themes together in the book. I haven't read any of her others yet but it is good to know her previous books are also good.
DeleteWelcome to my blog, thanks for coming by!
