Oh, Serena! I just loved Losing Kei and Suzanne is great! In my Book Giveaway Carnival, I named it as one of my top 4 in the last 12 months. The reason why I liked it was because it was just a really good story, a good read, and I didn't kill all of my brain cells reading it. Just an overall enjoyable book. So, I really liked it!
Sheri: I've heard a great deal about the book from you, anna, and many others. I was pleasantly surprised when I received it in my mailbox.
What a great week! I'd love to read Losing Kei.
Oooooh Graywolf is a local publisher! I don't know much about them though!
Bermuda: I wasn't even expecting anything this week.
Alea: I love Graywolf. I learned about them in college from my poetry professor, who has one book published through them. They have some fantastic poetry.
You did well this week! I've heard good things about Losing Kei, but I didn't know she'd written another book too. Enjoy your books!
Avis: I think she and I were chatting about my cousin who adopted two girls from China on Good reads, and she sent me Call me Okaasan for that reason...and I guess she threw in Losing Kei! Wee!
Thanks for stopping by the mailbox!
Lucky you!
Great list of books! Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by Avis and Yvonne!
I didn't know Suzanne Kamata had another novel out! Great list, Serena!
My Mailbox Monday is here.
dawn: Thanks for popping by to check out the mailbox.
Good haul Serena. I need to get my mailbox up. I should be doing that instead of visiting blogs. lol.
I have to say, these are lovely covers -- all of them! Very artistic and eye-catching.
And here is a link to my post if you are interested:

Dar: I have a hard time deciding whether to read blogs or do meme posts...lately the meme posts have won out.
Jenners: yeah the covers are striking...gotta love graywolf.
Wendy, Kim, and Wendi, thanks for stopping by the mailbox this week.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! You have an interesting stack of books to dig into!
What a great week! Can't wait for your reviews on these poetry books, as I'm always looking for new poets to try, and I really hope you like Losing Kei!

Anna: I dunno when I will get to these ones, but I hope to fit some of the poetry ones in between the others that are due this month.
An interesting assortment of books this week!
Congrats on scoring those poetry books. I love the cover of Barter!
What a great looking bunch of books!
I don't read a lot of poetry, but these do look lovely. The covers are beautiful.
Thank you for stopping by the mailbox this week. I first spotted 'Losing Kei' over at Shana's blog, Literarily, several months back. Enjoy your books!
Looks like you're going to be busy for awhile! Happy reading :)
