I got A Reliable Wife, too. Hope you like Ivy + Bean!
Nice stack of books. I have A Reliable Wife (hardcover) on the shelf and hope to read it in the next year.
I think I am jealous 😉 I want to read Fallen … Reliable Wife has been on my radar too.. Have fun reading ..
Oh I got A Reliable Wife last week too! I was so surprised! I also have Fallen; planning on reading that in January.
How did your friend like Ivy & Bean? I hope she loved it!
I received a few of the same and I am expecting Ivy and Bean too! You had a fabulous week of books!
What a great selection of books! The synopsis of Men and Dogs is interesting. Love the cover too.
The Rehearsal sounds promising — especially since it is from a new writer. Also love the title — Men & Dogs (although I would have named it Dogs & Men – LOL). Happy reading!
That’s a really nice mailbox. Good variety. Have a great week, happy reading and happy new year.
Nice stack of books! I only got one, but it’s a good one, I think.

I keep hearing good things about Fallen. Definitely one I will want next year.
I really enjoyed A Reliable Wife…actually, a lot more than I expected to. Looking forward to your thoughts!
Your mailbox is always so doggone appealing! Lucky girl. 🙂
That’s a lot of books for one week! Looks like some interesting things, especially Reliable Wife – it’s been getting great reviews. Enjoy your reads!
Enjoy your new acquisitions! Nothing for me last week, but I’m hopinhg that this week the postman will finally bring my Holiday Swap and Santathing packages.
You had quite a winning week! I look forward to snuggling in this week and reading from my stack of library books. It will sure be hard to go back to school next week.
A Reliable Wife is fabulous!! I hope you enjoy it!
Great bunch!

Great week Kathy! I look forward to hearing what you think about A Reliable Wife. I have been wanting to read that one for awhile.
You got some great looking books there Kathy (you’ve been lucky with wins too – buy a lottery ticket…LOL)
Enjoy all your new books, Kathy!
You had great luck with book wins Kathy! I received Letter to my Daughter as well and it looks very interesting. Enjoy!
I bought fallen over the Christmas weekend and I got Reliable Wife in the mail as well. It was a busy week in books for me. I hope you enjoy your books and your wins. happy reading. happy new year!

What a super list of new books. I’m going to enjoy reading about them all when you do your reviews.
My mailbox has been empty but that’s okay. I need to catch up on the books I do have. You have a great selection of books there. I gave my mom The Christmas Pearl and she gave me Mrs. Miracle for Christmas. I’m working on Fallen. I’m anxious to see what you will think of it.
“A Reliable Wife” sounds like a great, although probably dark read. I think I’ll put it on my wish list.
Happy Monday!
That’s quite a variety of books! I really liked “A Reliable Wife” but it is very dark.
A Reliable Wife looks good. Enjoy all the books!
Christmas continues! All these books to read–enjoy!! 🙂
I haven’t read any of these but I really want to try Fallen. Hope you enjoy all of these!
It is just a never-ending flow of joy into your home, isn’t it? You really wouldn’t need to buy any, ever.
Wow. I used to get that many books a week, and then I woke up one day and realized that the stacks of TBRs were out of control… that was two years ago. The stacks haven’t shrunk nearly enough. But, then, I’ve got books to write, not just read!
wow, that is quite a list. Fallen is on my wanna read list. someone, i forget who, had a great review on it.
The kids in my class love Ivy and Bean!
Another great bunch of books! I’ve heard of some of them, but haven’t read any of those yet.
What a great stack! Ivy and Bean is a series my girls really enjoy. Happy reading.
kathy, i know i’ve asked you before and you’ve patiently told me…but do you have extra hours in your day or something? how do you manage to leave encouraging and friendly comments EVERYWHERE, read a zillion books, and post daily? you must not sleep. that’s the only feasible answer i can figure!
enjoy the haul. 🙂
What a great week to end 2009. I will be sharing mine next week. Congrats. I love the cover of A Reliable Wife.
Wow, you got a lot of books last week! So many people have raved about Fallen that I really need to go pick up a copy. Hope you enjoy it as well! Happy reading!
Wonderful books! Happy reading in 2010!
Mondays: Mailbox/Whereabouts
I got A Reliable Wife too. Hilarious cause they sent me like 3 hardcovers which I didn’t read,and I’m not going to read this one, either!
Lots of great wins here!
I hope you enjoy all of them 🙂
I’ve heard that A Reliable Wife is a great book, so I hope you enjoy it! A lot of great stuff in that mailbox this week. I was gifted with a huge stack of great new reads as well, so I better get crackin!
Merry Christmas to you! 🙂
Yummy! I’m drooling over all those delicious books. Picking up the mail must be a happy time for you…
