Monday
- The Wrong Mother by Sophie Hannah was a Twitter win from Penguin
- Chocolate: A Love Story by Max Brenner was a Twitter win from Little Brown (Hachette)
- In the Beginning by Chuck Fischer was sent by Hachette at the request of its paper engineer, Bruce Foster – this is another gorgeous pop-up book
Tuesday
- Thursday Night Widows by Claudia Pineiro came from Meryl Zegarek Public Relations, Inc
- Surviving Paradise by Peter Rudiak-Gould was a Twitter win from Sterling Publishing
Wednesday
- Prospect Park West by Amy Sohn was a win from The Book Studio
Friday
- Christmas Cake by Lynne Hinton came from Book Club Girl for the Blog Talk Radio show with the author on December 15
Saturday

So many wonderful books. I hope u have a great time reading.. Another pop up book.Can’t wait for the review 🙂
You had a way better week than I did! I think this was my slowest week of the year!
Great list. I’m curious about Christmas Cake. Enjoy all the books!
Looks like you had another great week!
They sound great! Especially the Chocolate one…
I thought Prospect Park West was a fun read. Looking forward to seeing your thoughts…
Nice week — especially with that pop-up book.
Wow! You had an awesome week! Practically a book every day.. and great titles, too!
Oh, I loved “The Wrong Mother”! And I’ve been wishin’ for “Wishin’ and Hopin’,” which I see you’ve reviewed, so I’m going to hop on over to check this out.
What a healthy pile of fun! I haven’t read a single one of them, so I’ll count on you to fill me in!
It looks like Christmas came early in your house! What a nice assortment; I’m sure the pop-up book is gorgeous.
Seriously…when do you NOT have a great book week?! LOL I envy you!!
Chocolate A Love Story is one I have had my eye on and I would love to read Christmas Cake as well. You had a great book week! 🙂
Lucky you! Looks like a great list of books! Chocolate and pop-ups!
Good haul. Thanks for stopping by. Dead Pan is on my list next to read as I will be doing a review on it.
Those look like they will be good! I hope you enjoy your new books, Kathy!
I have Chocolate on its way to me 🙂
Lots of books! Enjoy them. Here’s
mine.
You’re building quite a library! Enjoy! 🙂
Great list of books, and I can safely say that I have never heard about any of them. That is always interesting 🙂
I would love to read Children of the Dust. Ever since I read Three Cups of Tea, I have a thirst for reading more about that part of the world. Enjoy!
Kathy you got some really good books last week. Enjoy them. A few I put down on my list to check out. happy reading
Wow, Kathy. Santa stopped by your mailbox early.
Happy reading!
You got some really good stuff this week! I also am interested in this second pop-up book and will be checking back to see what you think of it. Happy reading on all these new books!
That is a nice pile of books you received! Children of Dust caught my eye a couple of weeks ago….enjoy your new books.
Your stack looks enticing!! Enjoy them all 🙂
Christmas Cake has sparked my interest. I have Chocolate too. I am interested in seeing what you think of it. You had another great week! Enjoy your reads!
You have a nice assortment of books.
Recently, I finished Children of Dust and liked it better than I expected.
Happy Reading!
You did great this week! Enjoy your books!
Books in the mail! The CHOCOLATE book sounds good! Enjoy them all. 😀
Looks like you had a great week! I’m looking forward to your review of “Thursday Night Widows.” I’m not sure it’s my cup of tea, but I’ll wait and see what you think. Maybe I’ll end up borrowing it back from my mom. LOL

Looks like a great stack. Enjoy!
yes, this would be my story too — Chocolate: A Love Story by Max Brenne! LOL
Happy reading.
I haven’t received books in the mail in ages–entirely my own fault as I haven’t gone looking for any. There are two coming in the mail this week though (LibraryThing and an autographed ARC from Michael Palmer). I’d forgotten how nice it is to get books in the mail. 🙂
You did have a good week! I’m always on the look out for a new Christmas book so I’ll have to check out Christmas Cake.
I didn’t get any books last week. Hope you enjoy Chocoalte and Christmas Cake!
