what a pretty bookmark. Lovely books Kathy. I really want to read The Lace Makers of Glenmara. Hope you enjoy all.
Why are you embarrassed to post? I only got 2 books last week and I was very happy. lol.. 🙂
What a fab pile of books! I’ve read The Beach House by Jane green (was quite good), but the others I haven’t heard of so will go and look them up. See if any take my fancy. Don’t be embarrassed – I am a bit of a bookaholic myself and seem to be adding to my pile of tbr list every week! Enjoy!
Holy Cow!! You’re gonna be a busy lil bee! Can’t wait to read your reviews!
Wow! You got some books 🙂
I LOVE that bookmark!
Lordy, the books are flowing at your house. It’d be hard to choose which one to read next. Are you a one-book reader or a multiple-books-in-progress, all at the same time reader?

What a great selection! I have “Labor Day” and “The Lacemakers” on my TBR list, too, and I would love to read “The Undiscovered Gyrl”! I’ll be looking for your reviews!
I love looking to see the books that you got. You always manage getting some good stuff.
wow, how will you ever keep up?!
Wow, what a bonanza week and some really great books in that pile! I have Green’s Beach House on my wish list. I look forward to your thoughts on that one.
Goodness – The Lace Makers is the only one I’ve heard of!
Wow! you did well! I love the bookmark also! Enjoy!
You had a great week! And now I know what happened to all the UPS guys that didn’t show up at my house – they were too busy at yours! :–)
Great list of books. I’ll be reading Lace Makers soon. Enjoy all the books!
From looking at your list, I think Monday must have been a holiday. Or maybe just a day off for delivery people. lol I like that you have lots of new books. It means you are going to introduce me to some great new stories.
Oooh, I love the July bookmark! Can’t wait to get mine.
So many books! Happy reading.
If you’d like another book, drop a link at Black-Eyed Susan’s Little Lov’n Monday. You pick your price.
I never know whether to be envious of your stacks or glad that I’m not bringing that many books into my house every week. 🙂
That is a nice stack of books! Congrats on all of your wins!
Wow what a good stack! I’m getting the fixer upper from Harper this week. I’m very excited.
More great books! the lace makers in one i’m interested in too.

Happy REading. Love the bookmark its so nice.
Don’t be embaressed Kathy…you are a fast reader! I love seeing what you get every week. There are many that I am going to check out.
I also received the gorgeous Bookmark from Jennifer. I posted a link to your post here in my Mailbox Monday post to see the bookmark. My camera is not working well and we need a new one.
Nice!
You always get a lot of books every book. It’s a pleasure to go over your list!

Good list!! Great week.
Just love the books and the book mark you received. I like the look of The Day The Falls Stood Still.
Terrific haul! And I really like the idea of adding a book stack photo. Cool.
Great pile of books! Don’t be embarassed, celebrate! (but I understand, I think I’d say the same thing :o) ) I also received The Brutal Telling. I’m new to blogging and the book blogging world so I’m getting into it slowly!
Enjoy your books!

I’ve read some really great things about The Lace Makers of Glenmarra – can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
You recieved a great stack of books. I am reading one of your’s that is on the list. I am reading Fixer-Upper and enjoying it. It is a quick read. I don’t usually read “chick-lit”.

Thanks so much for adding your bookmark to your picture! It looks like it fits with the books that came that week. I hope you’re enjoying it. I see that you got one that was not “raped” by my fastenator. 🙂
