You did get some awesome books! Can’t wait to read FOLLOW ME for April tour!
I’m hoping for a copy of The Manual of Detection, too.
Oh wow — look at all those lovely books. I enjoyed just staring at the stack of new titles. Happy reading!
You must have a very large mailbox 😉
All I can say is wow! I’m glad you got your copy of The Italian Lover ~ I thought it was a good read. Enjoy!
Here is my mailbox
WOW!! Awesome haul.
You got some great books! Especially the 8th confession, I love James Patterson
oh my…how do you manage to review so many books. I have around 15 review copies in my TBR and it is already too much for me 🙂
But this is such a great haul. Hope you enjoy each and every one of these…
That’s quite a nice load of books – I see several to add to my “new-finds” list. I just got The Manual of Detection, too – looks interesting.
Did your husband just shake his head when Tuesday’s mail came in?!?
Enjoy them all, my Mailbox Monday is here.
Wow! You got some great books this past week.
Oh my! That’s a lot of books. The Italian Lover is making the rounds and looks really good.
Wow – that’s quite a haul!
I reviewed Follow Me today at Necromancy Never Pays. I kept reading it, and then felt irritated that I’d read the whole thing. I’ll be interested to see if others have a more positive view of this novel.
Wow-that’s a heckuva week. I’ll bet your mailman has a bad back by now!!
Amazing… a few of those I am chompin to get!! Congrats and Happy Reading.
I’m waiting on 8 confession from Miriam as well. I am jealous of the Italian lover!

Excellent week for books. Enjoy your reading.
I have a contest on my Sunday Salon through
March 15th. I didn’t know about the carnival.

Great haul this week Kathy. I have a few of those coming myself.
I just finished The Associate last night, and it was definitely vintage Grisham, which is a good thing! I hope you enjoy it. You got some awesome books this week!
Wow — you certainly get a lot of books. I kind of gave up on Grisham a while back as it seemed too formulaic and like he wasn’t trying too hard. But if gets back into “The Firm” territory, I’ll read him again in a heartbeat!
Here is my post if you are interested:

Follow Me and Admission look great. Color me jealous!!! I read The Good, Good Pig and I can tell you that you have a lovely book ahead of you in that one.
Wow Kathy! You had a great week. I need to email Hachette about The Italian Lover (Valerie??) – I am really interested in reviewing that one and doing a giveaway, maybe it isn’t too late to get in on that one.

It’s like Christmas! So many great books! I look forward to reading your reviews. I also received the Susan Jane Gilman book but haven’t read it yet. I’d like to hear more about the Ted Dekker book too. Have a great week!
Whoo-hoo, what a great haul this week! I only got one book…
That’s a beautiful stack. Have fun reading!
(Pssst! I am sooo envious of your snow.)
Sounds like your mailbox had a busy week 🙂
Wow! I have just picked up “The manualof Detection” from the library and it looks great!
Wow…what an awesome stack of books! I should be receiving The Italian Lover any day now myself.
I got into work this morning to find The Italian Lover on my desk! I forgot that I’d given my work address. That was a great surprise, and made me feel slightly better about being back in the office after my snow day 🙂
Looks like you had a great week! I received The Crimes of Paris, too, and I hope to snag a copy of the new Patterson book. The only ones I’ll read by him these days are the Women’s Murder Club series.
The good good pig sounds really interesting! I am sorry to say, I didn’t get any of the books you got… 😦
Wow, you did have a great week!
Thank you for stopping by the mailbox this week. I’m waiting on ‘The Boneman’s Daughters’. I see you’re currently reading ‘Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven’ which is sitting in my TBR pile. Enjoy ‘The Good, Good Pig’ and ‘The Associate’.
Kathy – What a haul. Good luck reading all those great looking books.
I got 8th Confession in the mail today…and the italian lover.
