You got some good books Kathy. Happy reading.
Nothing in common this week. Mine is posted.
Ooh – you have Ruined. I am not really jealous at all. No, really ! LOL
I’ve been hearing good things about The Magicians – enjoy!
Friday should give you a good Jane Austen fix! They all look good. Enjoy all your new books.
I’ve read a few of those books and I have a few too. You got some great books! I had a pretty slow week. Hopefully, I’m learning how to say no!
I am assuming you are in the Everything Austen Challenge by that list! Great pile this week!
wow, I want Ruined 🙂 And you have 2 Jane Austen books too, fun. Hope you enjoy all the books Kathy.
Congrats looks like a lot of good reading. Also congrats on being a member of the vine program — to be asked to join someday is a goal of mine. Enjoy your books!
Feel free to check out my list if you have a moment

I almost got While I’m Falling a few times on Vine but always went with something else 😦
Oh, I just finished “Confessions” but didn’t get “Rude Awakenings”!!! (which now I need!)
I’ve heard/read good things about The Magicians. I look forward to your review.
Looking at your list is fun because it’s like seeing the announcement for Coming Attractions. I know I’m going to get to hear about all your new books in your reviews.
I read the first Rigler book and if the second is anything like it, you’re in for a double treat.
Congrats on your “Jane Austen” wins. I recently finished Confessions of a JA Addict and now want to read the sequel. Can’t wait to hear what you think of both.
It seems like everyone received Cleopatra’s Daughter this week! 😀
I hope you’ll enjoy the Jane Austens Confessions and Awakenings. I had fun reading those! I received Ruined too, recently, I can’t wait to read it.
Great haul! I enjoyed The Magicians; Grossman, and I see several others in your pile, that I would not mind adding to my piles LOL
enjoy
Those are all books that have caught my eye and are on my short list of books I want to read. I’m jealous! 😉 Enjoy!
Nothing in the mail, but I did buy Catching Fire for 5 bucks because I had a coupon AND $5 in Border Bucks. That’s almost as good as something arriving in the mail. 😀
Great Mailbox. I have have been wanting to Read Confessions of a J. Austin Addict and the next one for quite sometime. So many books.. so little time.. sigh.. ENJOY!
Great books! I got Cleopatra’s Daughter too and Ruin looks so good. I hope you enjoy them all and I can’t wait to see what you think of your new titles. Enjoy and happy Labor Day!
Some great gets this week! Ruined looks especially good.

Looks like you got some great books this week. I have Cleopatra’s daughter as well and cannot wait to read it.
Coming here to congratulate you!!!!!!! and then I’m looking at this new posting and thinking how I actually was standing in a bookstore yesterday looking at everyone of those books in your pile.
I’m really looking forward to getting my copy of The Magicians.
I think it’s awesome that you won the Austin books! I am anxious to hear what you think of them, they sound really fun. You got a lot of great stuff there.
Looks like it was another great week in books for you!
Such a great group of books! Congratulations on winning the “Jane Austen” books! I’ve read many good things about The Magician too!
Happy Labor day and reading! lol

As usual, you got some great books! I’m particularly intrigued by Ruined. Happy reading!
I have Ruined, The Magicians and Rude Awakenings all in my TBR pile as well. I really should slow down on the book purchases but I see so many great books on everyone’s blogs that I can’t keep away!

I also see you are reading Stray Affections currently – I am too. 🙂
I’m really looking forward to reading Cleopatra’s Daughter. I’ll be curious to know what you think of The Magicians. I’ve been curious about that one since I heard the author on NPR. Enjoy your new books!

More from the Vine Program eh? I need to review 2 more before I can get any others.
Great haul! I just finished Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict. Fun read 🙂
