I love how you always give me an idea of what the next bookmark will look like in advance 😀 As usual, I love it. And Godmother is a book I’ve been meaning to read. I hope you enjoy it.
Wow some fantastic books! I used to watch Little House on the Prairie every week growing up — I’m sure this is a great book.
The Taste Test book sounds delish too! Are you going to make some recipes from it?
Feel free to check out my list here http://metroreader.blogspot.com/2009/08/mailbox-monday-august-24th.html
I’m expecting Everything Sucks soon. Hope we both like it 🙂
The Melissa Gilbert one sounds good.
Enjoy your mailbox!
The book mark is beautiful. I must be missing out on this somewhere. I shall have to investigate. I really want to read Prairie Tale.
great list of books and I love the summer theme to the bookmark! happy reading.
Great pile of books there!! I want to read that Godmother book too, it looks great! And that is a very cute bookmark.
I love the bookmark. And by the way we loved the movie Julie and Julia yesterday too!
Sounds like a great batch – especially “The Resurrectionist.” But my vote for best book title goes to “Everything Sucks”!
I’m waiting for my ‘Everything Sucks’ copy too, sounds really good.
I want Godmother too 🙂
Great books Kathy.
Detectives Don’t Wear Seatbelts sounds like a fun read. I like that title! You got a nice batch of diversity this time. Have a good week and enjoy your books.
Lots of good titles there Kathy. The one that intrigues me is Detectives Don’t Wear Seatbelts. Sounds like a fun detective story.
Those look like great books. You have a fun week of reading ahead of you. Can you get that many books read in one week, or do the books carry over and you have a stack a mile high waiting? The only books I got in the mail last week were ones I ordered. But I’m having fun reading those!

This looke like a great assortment of books! I really like the sound of that Melissa Gilbert book.
The Melissa Gilbert book has been on my radar, just because I literally grew up with that show. Now my daughter has the first three years on DVD and is obsessed with them too. One thing I have to say…Melissa certainly blossomed from those earlier awkward years!
Oh, I loved the Resurrectionist! It is very weird, but I like weird! Hope you enjoy it.
Melissa Gilbert’s book I enjoyed as well. Though I do wish she’d spent more time on her Little House years.
Your others are all new to me. Hope you enjoy them!
Love the bookmark! I have a few of them and boy, does she have talent!
I’d love to read Melissa Gilberts book, you got some really nice books this week!
The books look great — there are a couple that I’m envious of. But the bookmark is spectacular! Enjoy!
Looks like a mailbox filling week for you! As usual 🙂
Hi Kathy, had you ever shown a photo of your bookshelves? You must have one heck of a library.
Lovely bookmark 🙂
And some cool books in there. Enjoy
Nice variety of books, Kathy.
I really like the look of that cookbook, America’s Most Wanted Recipes. I just watched a video on Amazon of the author talking about his book. It looks really good.
What an assorted collection. Like the colourful books!
Mondays: What’s up?
Love the bookmark, and I’m jealous that you got The Godmother and The Resurectionist….enjoy
Kathy, Please come by BOOKIN’ WITH BINGO as I have an award for you. Thank you!

I enjoyed The Godmother. Unholy Mischief sounds a bit mischievous 🙂
I am now following your blog because it seems I am always following your comments (you’re one of the first to comment:) Have a great Monday!
Awesome list – How do you get so many books?
Godmother looks really good, I really want to read that book. Hope you enjoy it and I’ll be looking forward to your review.
The Resurrectionist is a new one for me. It looks interesting, I’ll have to check that out.

Prairie Tale looks like a really interesting book. I look forward to hearing what you thought about it.
LOVE the bookmark! And I’m eyeing that PRAIRIE TALE book – I think it’s a must read!
It looks like you received some great books! I was a big fan of Little House so Melissa Gibert’s book may interest me; however, I do have to say that I enjoyed here sister, Sarah, on Roseanne much more – must be because it was comedy.
I’m looking forward to hear what you thin about these books, especially “everything Sucks” and “The Resurrectionist”! 😀
Everything Sucks except my bookmark, right? LOL!!! I can’t wait to see what you think of Melissa Gilbert’s book. I covet that one.
Wow, you really raked them in this week! Fantastic! I read all of the Little House on the Prairie books but I had no idea Melissa Gilbert wrote something else. I’m interested to see what you think of it! Detectives Don’t Wear Seatbelts sounds like a fun read and Godmother< I've noticed is very popular.
Would you mind telling me what the August Bookmark refers to? Sorry! Still learning things here!
Enjoy your new books, Kathy! Happy reading!
Great books! I love the bookmark. 🙂
What a lovely haul! Love the bookmark!
I enjoyed reading Godmother! I look forward to reading your review on it.
It looks like you’ve got quite a haul this week 🙂 Have fun reading!

That August bookmark is sooo cute!!
Prairie Tale looks like a great book. This is the first I’ve seen about it, so I’ll be anxious to read your review.
Lots of good stuff! I bought Prairie Tale for my mom but she hasn’t read it yet. Isn’t this month’s bookmark from Jennifer fantastic! I love it!
Great stuff! I read Godmother a while back and enjoyed it.
I reviewed Melissa Gilbert’s book over on my blog, if you want to pop over and take a look. It was very good, different!
And I too am intrigued by the bookmark! Very cute! I looked on the Literate Housewife’s blog, but couldn’t see a bookmark club…inquiring (nosy) minds want to know???
