Welcome to another peak inside by mailbox, here at Mailbox Monday, sponsored by Marcia at The Printed Page.The number of books making it into my mailbox should be smaller and smaller in the coming weeks as I decline more offers than I accept from publishers. I really need to focus on the books already lining my shelves.
Plus, I have a coupon and a gift certificate for two different bookstores that are burning holes in my pockets!
1. The Day the Falls Stood Still by Cathy Marie Buchanan from the Amazon Vine program, which will be published in August/September 2009.
2. The Trials of the Honorable F. Darcy by Sara Angelini for review in October 2009 from Sourcebooks.
3. Dusk by David Doub, which I won from Literary Escapism.
4. Soul Survivor by Bruce and Andrea Leininger with Ken Gross, which I won from A Bookish Mom.
5. Short Girls by Bich Minh Nguyen, which I received from Library Thing and was published in July 2009.
6. The Woodstock Story Book by Linanne G. Sackett and Barry Z. Levine, which I received from Lisa Roe for review--check out my preview of the book at D.C. Literature Examiner.
Ok, so when I decided to write this up, the Borders coupon for my birthday (15% off) burned a hole in my pocket and sent me to the bookstore to pick out some books:
7. The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein, which I have seen so many of you rave about.
8. Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris, which is (I believe) the second book in the Sookie Stackhouse series--this will be great for the challenge...Now, that I have two books from the series I can get started.
9. Best Burgers from Publications International, which is a board book my husband picked out from the bargain bin for $1.99...which ended up being considered a cookbook by the Borders' system and I paid $1.39 for! Must have been a good day for sales.
What did you get in your mailbox?
Great mailbox this week. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI received THE TRIALS OF THE HONORABLE F DARCY too! Looks cute!
ReplyDeleteZia: Thanks.
ReplyDeleteJulie: I agree it does look cute.
I think the Trials of the Honorable F. Darcy looks cute too -- love the title & the cover.
ReplyDeleteLove that last little cookbook =)
ReplyDeleteI am awaiting for the ARC arrivals to stop also. Just a few should be coming through.
My mailbox is up The Burton Review.
Have a great day =)
I am totally jealous of The Trials of the Honorable F. Darcy. Must figure out a way to get on Sourcebooks' list!!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteNice list. Wondering about the Darcy title. Hadn't heard of that one 'til now!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite the variety you've got there Serena. From dogs and hamburgers to reincarnation. :) I got Racing in the Rain too, and the Buchanan book interests me because I live near The Falls.
ReplyDelete*You won my chapbook of haiku by the way. Send me your mailing address when you get a moment.
Great catches! I won Soul Survivor also. Short Girls sound really good. LT has such good offerings, don't they?!!!
ReplyDeleteDCmetroreader: I love the title of Honorable Darcy.
ReplyDeleteMarie: That cookbook find is all the hubby...he was really excited about it.
Kristen: send me your info, email, etc., and I can get you in touch with a couple people.
Mary: I just happened upon it.
Sandra: I had no idea you were close to the falls. I haven't been there since I was a teenager...
Rhapsody: I don't get too many LT books, but the ones I've gotten have been good.
I hope you enjoy all your new books, Serena! I've been saying no a lot more too. All these Mailbox Mondays have me wishing I were home to see what was in my mailbox!
ReplyDeleteGreat mailbox :D
