Oooh ! Swan Thieves — that’s a great one. But I have to admit that I love the bookmark!
Great week for you! Lovely bookmark : )
Love the bookmark! it’s really very nice looking.
I wonder what you’ll think of The Historian. I was upset and slightly disappointed because every time I read a blurb about the book or a person who read it started talking about it, there would be ‘It is such a scary book”, “oh, it’s really really scary”. Needless to say I set myself up for a thrill ride of my life because I love horrors and the book isn’t scary at all (at least not to me).
As always a terrific selection of books. Enjoy!
Here is my Monday post http://metroreader.blogspot.com/2009/09/mailbox-monday-september-28th.html
I like that bookmark.
The Historian is on my wishlist!
Mondays: Musings/Readings/Mailbox
Once again, thank you for the glimpse of this month’s bookmark 😀
Oh you got The Swan Thieves and How to Steal a Car and The Historian, awesome 🙂
The bookmark, as always, is gorgeous…
What a nice diverse selection of books and a bookmark to boot! Have a wonderful week and happy reading.
WOW…nice week; enjoy! I won 9 Dragons but it has not arrived yet. Here is mine:

9 Dragons looks like it will be an interesting read. Thanks for sharing Literate Housewife and showing us her neat bookmark! I always love checking out out bibliophiles like us. 🙂
I am really interested in The Historian. Hasn’t that author got another book out at the moment? I love the book mark.
The bookmark is amazing! Enjoy all your new books. 🙂
Lovin the bookmark! Great mailbox! You received some really good books there. Enjoy!
Aha that Kostova is not out yet, cool, I hope you will enjoy it. I loved her first
Nice ecclectic mix! Have fun!
Awesome group of books. Can’t wait for you to read The Historian.
As soon as I finish 31 hours, I’m starting Swan Thieves.
Fabulous haul this week! I have no idea how you keep up with it all 🙂 Here’s my mailbox:

They are sure sending out The Swan Thief early. I didn’t think it was supposed to be released until next year!
You received a couple of Kostova books this week…enjoy!
Great books!! And I love the bookmark!
What a great stack of books and loving the bookmark.
I’ll be on the lookout for your review of The Angelic Way!
The Historian has been on my list forever. Enjoy your books.
I’ve read the Historian and while it is a bit slow at times (it’s a big book :p ) it’s a good read. Hope you enjoy it!
I didn’t know Elizabeth had another book out though. That’s good to know!

I’ve got The Historian! wow – you win a lot of books. congrats! (and I know you GIVE a lot of books: good karma, right?)
Wow! Great stuff this time around. I am wondering what you will think of The Historian. I read it a few years ago, and had mixed feelings, though the writing was gorgeous. I am also curious to read your review of The Swan Thieves as well. Happy reading!
The Swan Thieves sounds like an interesting book. I don’t think I’ve read any of the books you received last week Kathy. 🙂

All your books look interesting. The only one I have is 9 Dragons.
BTW:
Yes, Chin And The Magic Stones is a children’s book!
Can’t wait to hear about The Swan Thieves! What a nice assortment of book titles!
Your mailbox is always great!! I want to read Connelly’s new one!!
Love the bookmark, but The Swan Thieves and The Historian? In one week? Be still my heart!
Do you have some kind of good luck charm or voodoo spell that helps you win all these contests????
Can’t wait to hear your response to the Swan Thieves. I loved The Historian.
That bookmark is gorgeous! And look at the stack of books!
What a full, and lucky mailbox you have!
I am finally going to read The Historian for the RIP IV challenge.
Congrats on all of your wins!
You’ve got some great ones there! Michael Connelly is one of my favorite authors and I loved The Historian. I can’t wait to read Swan Thieves. I’ll probably have to wait for it to be released in paperback though. Enjoy your new books, Kathy.
If you find that gorgeous bookmark and 9 DRAGONS missing from your table, don’t come looking at my house. Don’t!
I lOVE that book mark!!!!!!!
I got 9 Dragons too – can’t wait!
I love those bookmarks — lucky you. Sorry I missed out on that opportunity. Happy reading…
Looks like you had a great week! I’m still waiting on The Blue Star.
