A big thanks to Marcia of The Printed Page for hosting this fun meme. Check out her blog to see what everyone else got last week or to play along. This is what I found in my mailbox last week:
Wednesday
- However Tall the Mountain by Awista Ayub from Hyperion Books
- Last Light Over Carolina by Mary Alice Monroe from Pocket Books
Thursday
- It’s Beginning to Hurt by James Lasdun from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
I think my stacks may have actually decreased! What books came into your home last week?

However tall the mountain sounds absolutely fantastic. I’m definitely adding that book to my wishlist. Hope you enjoy all of them Kathy.

I had a pretty slow week too if I don’t count children’s books. I actually need to move some inventory so I’m appreciating the opportunity to get a little caught up.
July 6, 2009 at 7:27 am
This is a slow week for you! Perfect time to catch up

However Tall the Mountain sounds good. I may look for that one. It might be an interesting contrast to what I’m reading now – Jugglers at the Border.

However Tall This Mountain is one that sounds really interesting!!! Great haul there Kathy!!

I was planning on doing a Mailbox Monday, but then forgot and put all the books on the shelf. I’m not even sure if I put them all on the same one!
I need a personal assistant to just follow me around all day and keep me on task… lol.

These look interesting! I think I only received two last week, but that’s enough for me.
July 6, 2009 at 10:02 am
Each of these titles looks really good, especially HOWEVER TALL THE MOUNTAIN. Enjoy!
July 6, 2009 at 10:04 am
The first one sounds really good to me!
Here is my Monday post
July 6, 2009 at 10:36 am
Decreased? yay! That’s what I am aiming for!
July 6, 2009 at 10:49 am
I like the sound of Last Light Over Carolina. I can’t wait for you to read it!
July 6, 2009 at 10:54 am
“However Tall The Mountain” is now on one of my lists, and I can see both myself and my wife reading this one. Thanks!
July 6, 2009 at 11:06 am
I’m aiming to decrease my stacks these days : )
Enjoy your books!
July 6, 2009 at 11:31 am
Your list does not include a book you won somewhere. This is definitely an off week for you. *lol* And only three? Sounds like to are going to have to hit the bookstore or the library at some point soon.

Hey.. there that is a smaller than normal pile for you. They sound like good reads.. enjoy!!
July 6, 2009 at 1:41 pm
I haven’t heard of any of these, but I hope you enjoy them. I’ve actually been taking in one or two ARCs the past few weeks, but now that they’re coming in the mail I’m thinking I’m crazy again. I still have some from 2008 that I haven’t fit in. :-/
July 6, 2009 at 1:52 pm
I am only familiar with the Alice Munro book. You have a nice variety, Enjoy.
July 6, 2009 at 1:52 pm
I like a steady pace of around 2 a week
.
Enjoy your reading!
July 6, 2009 at 2:44 pm
These look fabulous. You do get a good selection of books every week.
July 6, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Sounds interesting, happy reading to you
July 6, 2009 at 3:57 pm
I don’t know any of these…Have fun reading.

Your pile is smaller than usual! (Which I know is not necessarily a bad thing!) Enjoy your books!
July 6, 2009 at 7:02 pm
I’m interested in what your review of Monroe’s book will be and I agree with other commenters, However Tall the Mountain sounds good.
July 6, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Ohhh – I need to see a decrease
I’m getting even farther behind because I’m so darn tired!

I’ve been seriously cutting down on the books coming into my house. I need to work on the stacks I have. It would be nice to see an end to the tbr piles, wouldn’t it? lol.
July 6, 2009 at 11:21 pm
I really should keep track of what I receive and do this each week too.
July 7, 2009 at 12:40 am
I see interesting reading in that pile!
The first book would appeal to me, I think!
July 7, 2009 at 9:34 am
I have Last Light Over Carolina to read also. The short story book looks good – I haven’t read many short stories – seems like I never find any I really enjoy!
Happy reading!
July 7, 2009 at 12:02 pm
Your stack may have decreased, but you got some good reads!
July 7, 2009 at 1:11 pm
I always hope for a slow week because I really need to catch up. I haven’t accepted many books lately, but it still seems that tons of packages come to my house. LOL Hope you enjoy your new books.

July 7, 2009 at 1:35 pm
ha! Only three?
July 8, 2009 at 1:09 am
Nice selection. I hope you enjoy them.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I appreciate it. Happy Readings. =)
July 8, 2009 at 3:50 pm
I haven’t heard of any of those books. I’ll be looking forward to your reviews.
July 8, 2009 at 7:38 pm
I think this is the shortest stack I have seen since I started following your blog – you have a “breather” – I see cooking and cleaning in your future!
Titles look good -enjoy!
July 9, 2009 at 5:49 pm
wow, what happened?
July 10, 2009 at 10:25 am
the fewer books that come in, the more time I have to catch up on those littering the shelves. LOL
Happy reading.
