Welcome to another edition of Mailbox Monday, sponsored by Marcia at The Printed Page.
I can't believe I've stuck with this weekly meme for 22 weeks. Now, I think its a habit.
Here's what came in my mailbox this week:
1. The Secret Keeper by Paul Harris, which I received from the author for a June 2009 TLC Book Tour.
2. Sway by Zachary Lazar, which I won over at Teddy Rose's So Many Precious Books, So Little Time!
3. Dirty Little Angels by Chris Tusa for review from the author.
4. The Shipwreck of a Nation: Germany: An Inside View by H. Peter Nennhaus, which I received from the author for review.
5. Aesop's Fables retold by John Cech, illustrated by Martin Jarrie, which I won from Booking Mama
6. Coventry by Helen Humphreys, which I received for review as part of the WWII Reading Challenge from W.W. Norton & Company.
7. Stroke by Sidney Wade, which I received from the poet for review.
8. The Hardship Post by Jehanne Dubrow, which I bought at her most recent reading at The Writer's Center on March 29. More on that later.
9. City of a Hundred Fires by Richard Blanco, which I bought at his most recent reading at The Writer's Center on March 29. More on this later.

I'll probably eventually read Sway and I may just have to put Aesop's Fables on my list! Enjoy your new books!
A very nice week indeed :)
I hope I get something in the mail this week so I can keep up my new tradition

Great list this week! I think that Coventry is the one that appeals to me the most from your list.
Great list of books. I'm going to have to find a copy of the Humphreys book and check it out.
Great Haul! Awesome!
Ooh, love fables and fairy tales! Awesome on that Aesop's Fables.

Wow! Great books! They all sound interesting and I always love Aesop's Fables.
When you visited my blog recently you asked me what B&N book club was. I had mentioned participating and chatting with authors there. It's an online site at Barnes & Nobles that has many different book clubs that you can participate in via message boards. You can join or just read, as much or as little as you want and they have just about every genre. Some clubs last a week, some are for a month. Some have the authors there and some don't. There is also a First Look program where you receive an ARC from a debut author (usually) and then join in a month long discussion. I've done it for years and it's been fun. I don't know if I explained that very well but if you ever want to know more just drop me a line. :)
wrighty: thanks for the information. I will check out the web site and see if I can find it.
Thank you for stopping by the mailbox this week. I added 'The Secret Keeper' to my wish list.
