Mailbox Monday
December 21, 2009
Mailbox Monday is one of my favorite memes – a big thanks to Marcia of The Printed Page for hosting it. Head on over to Marcia’s blog to see what everyone else got last week or to join in the fun. Here’s what I found in my mailbox last week:
Monday
- Live For Your Listening Pleasure (audio book) by David Sedaris came from Hachette Books
- Replacement Child by Judy L. Mandel came from Author Marketing Experts
- 2 beautiful bookmarks from The Literate Housewife‘s Bookmark It club
Tuesday
- The Imperial Cruise by James Bradley was a Twitter win and came from Hachette Books – this contest was a little different – Tweeters entered other people, so I have Michelle from Galleysmith to thank for this book!
- The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe (audio book) by J. Randy Taraborelli was a win from A Sea of Books
Wednesday
- The Lie by Petra Hammesfahr came from Meryl Zegarek Public Relations
- Keeping the Feast by Paula Butturini came from Riverhead Books for the Winter Reading Series on Books on the Brain in February

That’s a nice stack of books – I have Crossing Washington Square on my tbr list. Enjoy!
What a fruitful week you’ve had! There are a couple there I have on my list. Happy reading!
oh dear. the books here were all the books that I bought for Christmas. I struggle to find reading time but have carved out some time for Julian Barnes’ Nothing to be frightened of, which is extraordinary.
What a great haul! Happy reading.
No Fallen yet? Well darn it should be there this week I hope!
Great stash this week! I hope you enjoy Imperial Cruise. I have an arc of Lonely Harts Club to read for this month as well. 🙂
Great stack of books for some holiday reading 🙂
I am anxious to read your review of Crossing Washington Square.
Wow! You had a great week! I read the Marilyn Monroe one when I was in college (I think that was the same one.)
Happy reading this week. Looks like you got another big batch in, and yay to bookmarks!
Looking forward to your thoughts on Confections of a Master Baker.
Nice variety of books! Replacement Child especially leaped out to me. When I read the synopsis on Amazon it sounds like a heartbreaking, but powerful memoir.
Enjoy your books!
Looks like a wonderful stack of good reads. This might keep you busy for a few days. The Imperial Cruise keeps popping up and it’s intriguing me.
Have a wonderful week and enjoy all your new books.
great week Kathy. I’m curious about the Marilyn Monroe book. enjoy them all.
I look forward to reading your thoughts on the Sedaris audio.
I really want to get CROSSING WASHINGTON SQUARE. Enjoy your books and thanks for stopping by my blog!! 🙂

Those bookmarks are real nice. Such a huge stack of books. Enjoy them 🙂
Nice haul! My mailbox is at The Crowded Leaf.
Most of my arrivals last week were Christmas gifts, so they’re either unopened or wrapped as gifts to other people 😛
What a great stack. Enjoy them. I got nothing this week, which is just as well.
Wow! Those are some great books you received over the last week….kind of like a Christmas surprise!
I love David Sedaris! Audio version should be great fun!
you got some great books and I like the bookmarks. I have the Imperial Cruise as well and hope to get to it soon.
awesome books as always. The lie looks really good.
Nice week!
I really enjoyed “Crossing Washington Square” and I think you will too. Enjoy Jennifer’s beautiful bookmarks!
Some great books there!

The Imperial Cruise is one I’ve been eying for a while now. Hope you like it! 🙂
Your Mailbox Monday is so organized! Last week I received three books in the mail, a book for children and two about the wild west.
You’ve got a nice stack of books and lovely bookmarks. wow, interesting win for The Imperial Cruise. =)
These all look like interesting titles. About the only one I really know anything about is the Marilyn Monroe book.
Great books! Enjoy!
Looks like you have a really busy reading week in the run up to Christmas. I love to see all the new books you get.
Ooh, very nice mailbox this week! I really want to get my hands on the new Sedaris, so I hope you enjoy it. I am also interested in your reaction to The Replacement Child, it was a very heartfelt read. I am also going to be joining in on the discussion for Keeping the Feast, so it will be very cool to get to discuss it with you!
What a great stack! I got my stack on Saturday from the Hachette giveaway and then just got another box from Amazon…it’s a good mailbox week for us all!
I want to read Marilyn Monroe and the Replacement Child looks good.

I have The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe on my TBR list, I read good reviews of it!
I’m loving your mailbox 🙂
Have I already told you how jealous I am that you got to listen to the new David Sedaris? I’m as green as the Grinch!
It is Christmas madness here – hope all is good with you! Susan
congrats on your swag. another great week of books!
Oooooohhhh…I love David Sedaris … I’m going to have to sneak this into my 2010 reading somehow.
You had a great week! Enjoy your books!
I’m looking forward to reading Keeping the Feast. That will be fun to discuss.
Can’t wait to hear what you think of Crossing Washington Square – I really want to read it! I loved her Professors’ Wives’ Club.
So many great books! The bookmarks are pretty and always a good idea. You can never have too many. 🙂 The Twitter win sounds very special having someone else put your name in. What a neat idea! Congrats and enjoy. Hope your holidays are very happy!!
Looks like you got a lot of good books and the bookmarks are so cute!
Looks like you had a good week. “Replacement Child” sounds really good. I’m looking forward to your review.

I’m so envious of The Literate Housewife’s bookmark club! She is so talented and creative.
Enjoy your new books, Kathy.
