  2. That’s a lot of books! I hope you enjoy them all 🙂 Last week I only received one book in the mail, but it was one I really wanted, so that’s alright: a lovely edition of the complete The Dark is Rising sequence by Susan Cooper.

  4. Wow – your mailbox is JAMMIN! I only got one last week, but a really cool one. “the Rascal’s Guide to Enlightenment” by Mat Zo. Mat is this wacky zany spiritualist/humorist I just met thru my blog and he sent me a copy to review and then I’m going to post an interview feature with him next month on Free Spirit.

  7. I actually got alot of books last week! I don't usually get so many.

    "Fifty Acres and a Poodle" from bookmooch.com

    "Roanoke – The Lost Colony" from Paperbackswap.com

    "Alabama Moon" from B & N

    "Endangered Pleasures", "Scrambled Eggs at Midnight", and "Barefoot Heart" from a local used bookstore.

  8. What a great list! There are so many on there that I’d love to read, especially Sarah’s Key. I’ll be reading Tomato Girl soon. As always, I’m looking forward to your reviews! Happy reading!

  11. Wow!! Two books from Food Network personalities!! I’m jealous – can’t wait to hear how they are.

  12. veens, you’re too funny.

    nymeth, it’s a seriously bad addiction-these books. I’m glad you got the one book you really wanted-I’ll be watching for your review.

    Mary, it’s really good too. I just love watching her and she’s always got such great recipes.

    Marvin, that sounds awesome. I’ll be watching for it.

    bermuda, I figured you would. You have some of the best recipes on your site.

    J. Kaye, I know you loved Inside Out Girl. I need to find time to read it soon.

    Wendy, you did get a good haul. I’ll be watching for some reviews.

    Anna, after I’ve read Sarah’s Key if you haven’t snagged a copy elsewhere I’ll send you mine.

    Joy, I’m going to start Tomato Girl soon. I just love the cover on it too.

    Aaaah Serena, that good old tbr pile-hmmm, isn’t it piles already. lol.

  13. Wendi B, are you addicted to the food network channel like I am. I just love watching the cooking shows.

  14. Your mailbox is Jamming… I should have participated in Mailbox Monday. I got a lot of books in the last 10 days! I am so thankful. Miriam from Hachette has been so kind. Jeremy from Harper Collins also I am going to blog about it soon.

  15. Toni, you can still post about the books you got. Miriam and Valerie are really great as is Jeremy.

  16. Whoo-hoo, lots of great books this week! I’ve got a couple of the same ones on my bookshelves…

  17. Wow Dar – what a great week! Inside Out Girl is one of my favourites of 2008. Let me know how you like it ( when you get to it LOL!)

  18. Avis, I know. I’ve seen what you’ve been getting too.

    Luanne, it seems a lot of people really liked Inside Out Girl. I’m anxious to read it.

  21. What a great list of books!!! You are one lucky girl to get the review copies of Food network authors!!! I just got Tomato Girl and have Sarah’s Key to read.

  22. Naida & April, thanks. I'll be busy.

    Oooooooh, Bonnie & Mary, Nigella's Christmas came the other day. It's awesome. I love Contessa. I'll have a review of it soon.

  24. Thank you for stopping by the ‘mailbox’ this week and thank you for mentioning me in your post. ‘Sarah’s Key’ is somewhere in my TBR pile. ‘Tethered’ just got added to my MM wish list.

  26. Oooh, I love the Barefoot Contessa! I try to like Rachel Ray, but none of her recipes turn out for me!

  28. I’ve been coveting *Tethered* 🙂

    I haven’t read Ayn Rand for many years, have you read any of her books before?

    You had a great week … sounds like your mailbox is never lonely!

  29. ray and contessa??that’s awesome dar!i am such a food network addict:) that’s a nice set of books! you must be excited!:)

  30. Dawn, I did try to read Atlas Shrugged and couldn’t make it through-it may have been the wrong time for me to read it though. I’ve heard that The Fountainhead is an easier read.

  31. Ramya, I’m a food network addict too. I can leave it on that channel all day and be happy. The cookbooks are great!
