You had an amazing week! Enjoy your books.
Wow, great haul for you 😀
Happy reading
Wow is about all I can say. You must have been doing the happy dance for sure!
As always, you have a great list of books Kathy.
I got Spiced and The Wish Maker also this week.
I’m glad that you posted a picture of the beautiful bookmark from Jennifer. I got mine also and added it to my Mailbox Monday post. The book buddy looks so pretty. I’ll be interested in hearing if you like using it.
Wow! That is quite impressive. I got a few of the books you got as well. The Teashop Girls looks cute as can be. I’ll be on the lookout for that one for my daughter (and me too, cause really, who are we kidding here?!).
My mailbox is here.
Wowzers! Yay for Willow! We will have to compare notes on Everything Asian!
Nice haul! I hope you had a great weekend!

Kathy you had a great week. Willow is on my TB list. I also have the kitty books and Miranda’s big mistake book to read. Looking forward to seeing your reviews.
That’s a lovely stack! Hope you enjoy Willow.
Wow…that is quite a haul you made this last week! I just loved The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
Not only a great list of books–I have the latest Jill Mansell as well–but also a great bookmark and the book buddy. Can we get a close up on those???
Wow! What a wonderful week!
I can’t believe how many books you won. You have some pretty strong book-luck going on. Don’t be embarrassed. I’d be bragging with such a fantastic haul. I’m glad you have so many great reading hours ahead of you.
Oh my goodness! You have so many goodies that you post them by “day”. LOL. Enjoy them. You have a lot of good stuff in that pic 🙂
You should be ashamed of yourself! Just kidding!
That is a lot of books – and a great variety! I’ve been wanting to read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
W0w — it seems like Christmas week at your house! What a great variety of books just begging to be read.
Wow! You had an amazing week! I didn’t have much luck in the book department 😦
Man oh man you’re on a roll!!! Lots of book and gifts and a KINDLE 2!!!
Now that is some list! Happy reading!
Musing Mondays
Mailed to me books
You are a winner of my book for the BookAVersary! Woo! Please email your address to kharrin2003@yahoo.com
Thanks for playing!
What a great week! Isn’t it fun to get books everyday. I got a package last week from a publisher that I didn’t know was coming – it was like christmas! Enjoy your books this week.
I hope you like The Killing Tree as much as I did! Congrats on winning the Kitty books – it’s a great series 🙂
LOL-and I was embarassed to post mine. Mine was at least 3 weeks. I’m anxiously awaiting my bookmark~probably this week I would think. I’m so jealous you got the Book Buddy. I’d love one of those.
Quite a week! And that doesn’t count the Kindle! You are on a roll! 🙂
Man! What a list of books!! I hope you enjoy them all! And I just saw where you won a copy of Janeology from Karen Harrington! Way to go – I’m so jealous! ; )
Wow! Quite the pile! Hope you have a lot of fun working your way through that haul! What are you starting with?
I got my book buddy on Saturday, too! It was like Christmas at Easter. What a week. What a sharp bookmark if you dont’ mind me sayin’… 😉 Thanks for adding that to your pile.
Good Lord, girl, your postman/woman must have sore arms from carrying all these books to your home!!! Nice snags!
You just amaze me.
OMG what a haul? How do you get everything read? Amazing.
Wow! Great week! I got a whole bunch of stuff last week. I’m feeling too overwhelmed to type it all up. I should have kept up with it as it came in. Enjoy!
Holy crap – you are outta control. I get about 3-4 books a week.
Wow! What a lot of goodies!
You are the winning-est thing I ever saw!!!!! Esp. today! I got a few this week but I have stopped buying and requesting for awhile in an effort to catch up (is there any such thing as catching up?) Still things arrive in the mailbox!
I really want to read Spiced and The Teashop Girls. Congrats an a great week!
I want to switch mailboxes with you!! It must feel like Christmas every day. You’ve received a lot of great books!! Enjoy:)
Woo-hoo, you really raked them in last week! 😀
I received an arc of The Killing Tree but haven’t read it yet. I look forward to comparing reviews. I also want to read Willow and since Flannery O’Connor is one of my fav. southern writers I want to read Flannery too (perhaps I should email Miriam? LOL) Wow, there is so many more that sound good on your list- I’ll just have to see what you think of them.
Great list this week!
Holy cow! I got two books and I thought I was having a great week!! LOL.
Wow Kathy – You had a GREAT week!! I love that Book Buddy. 🙂 That will come in handy. I hope you enjoy the Kitty Norville books – I really enjoyed them a lot more than I expected – I can’t wait for the next book early next year.
Thanks for stopping by and participating in Thingers last week! I’ve got the post up for this week, have you re-styled Your Library lately? ~ Wendi
Wow! I hope that you are participating in the Readathon! 😉
How gorgeous is this photograph. I am especially envious of your copy of Willow.
I have been seing this book buddy around. Very interesting. Hope you enjoy your books Kathy.
WOW!! I’m so jealous of all those books! Happy Reading!
Wow, that’s a list and a half. Enjoy them.
So many lovely books. Hope you enjoy them all. And I gave you a blog award!
Wow! What a week! I have Miranda’s Big Mistake, and I liked Willing Spirits. I’m also waiting on a Book Buddy. Enjoy your new books!
–Anna
AHHHH I so want one of those book buddies! Yours is so pretty, the colours are fab.
I can’t comprehend how you can read so many books…I would be able to request more if I could read more, that is what I keep telling myself. So far I still am not super quick. bummer.
You’ll have to tell us about that book buddy though!
Oh, and again congrats on the kindle, you are one lucky ducky. 🙂
I wish my mailbox was as fruitful as yours, Kathy! Enjoy your new books!
Wow, Kathy! You had an amazing week! I’m envious of your Book Buddy. I need one of those! Great titles as well, I have Teashop Girls on my TBR pile.
Okay… now this is just bragging.. ha ha.. Just kidding…… Awesome week. I didn’t get to post mine but will double up next week.
Thank you for stopping by the mailbox this week. Your poor mailman must dread having your house on his route. You know with a Kindle you won’t need bookmarks anymore. Enjoy your books!
Wow, good week! I also got a copy of Angels of Destruction – have you read The Stolen Child?
Another great week for you! Wow! I’m reading “Flannery” now and enjoying it. Hope you do too.
Wow…….
Seriously, that is an AMAZING haul. Amazing.
