Mailbox Monday (Jan. 12)

January 12, 2009 by Darlene

Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page. It asks us to share what has arrived in our mailboxes the past week. I’m going to share with you what came in mine last week and over Christmas as I missed a few weeks there with my eye injury. There’s a few but keep in mind this is a few weeks worth:

  • Grayrider by Bruce Skye (Pump Up Your Book Promotion)
  • The Kingmaking by Helen Hollick (SourceBooks)
  • With Endless Sight by Allison Pittman (from BBAW awards)
  • Cross Country AudioBook by James Patterson (won at A Blog of Books)
  • Lisey’s Story by Stephen King (from Joy at Thoughts of Joy-thank you!)
  • The Gathering by Anne Enright (from Joy at Thoughts of Joy-thank you!)
  • The King’s Rose by Alisa M. Libby (from the author which I’ve already finished and loved! See my review here.)
  • The Only True Genius in the Family by Jennie Nash (from the author)
  • Keeping Hannah Waiting by Dave Clarke (Hologram Publishing)
  • The Scent of Oranges by Joan Zawatzky (from Lisa Roe-Online Publicist)
  • My Splendid Concubine by Lloyd Lofthouse (Pump Up Your Book Promotion)

How about you-anything to share from your mailbox last week?

    I’ve had Lissy’s Story in my pile forever – it’s one of those that I can’t wait to read, but it keeps getting put off. I am doing a tour with Grayrider too! We will have to compare notes, lol!

    Hey all, thanks for popping into my mailbox and leaving me a comment.

    Mary, reading off the tbr shelf is a very good idea. I’d love to do be able to do that but not yet for me.

    April, yes we’ll have to compare notes on Grayrider. I’m doing mine towards the end of Feb-how about you?

    Thank you for stopping by the ‘mailbox’ this week. I’m hoping there’s a copy of ‘My Splendid Concubine’ headed my way.
