We got a few of the same books last week — great list.
Whoa Nelly – what a Monday you had last week! Several of these books have caught my interest. I am anxious to read your reviews.
Wow, Kathy! Is your house going to collapse beneath the weight of all the books that have come in? There are some good looking ones in that stack.
Quite a few interesting books that look interesting to me, especially The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott and Daughter of Mine..will wait for your reviews to see if I should put on my TBR list.

Here’s my loot. Both were found at this great second hand bookstore in my neighborhood.

Thanks Kathy. I saw you comment on my mailbox but for some reason my computer is acting up so i had to edit the post. But i did see your comment before the drama happened. Am really looking forward to Vinegar Hill myself : )
I’ve read a couple of the Miss Julia books and enjoyed them. I hope you like your new one. Your mail person must have been groaning on Thursday. What a great pile of loot! Have a great week and happy reading. Here’s my MM.
That is a tall stack of books! I received the Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott too and am really looking forward to it!
Enjoy your books!
Great list! There are a few titles that are on my tbr list so I’ll watch for your reviews.
I just found out that I won The Unnamed (audiobook) on another blog. It will be the first for the Reagan Arthur challenge – yay!
I bet those new bookshelves are all filled up already…LOL Seriously, they look great–enjoy!
Wow, what a stack! I see a couple of Denise Mina books there…I have a couple of hers on my TBR stacks, but not these.
Here’s my MM:

You sure did have a great week of books! I don’t have any of these and they all look great! I’ll be looking forward to your reviews.
Wow, what a stack. I also received This is Not the Story You Think It Is a few weeks ago. I hope you enjoy it.
Wow, great haul! Happy reading. My mailbox is at The Crowded Leaf.
It’s always interesting to me to see how different our loot is! I have a few of those, but I’m definitely jealous of some too!
Oh my heavens! That’s a very busy week for your mailbox. 😀
Postcards sounds good. I just finished Fireworks over Toccoa and enjoyed it. Hope you do as well. Happy reading this week!
Haven’t heard about any of those but they sounds interesting!
Kathy what a wonderful book week! You do have several titles I have not heard of and that is exciting!
I am hoping to read The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott. I’ll watch out for your review. You always have the best mailbox! Enjoy them all!
Wow, what a great list! Can’t wait to see what you think of “The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott” and “The Devil and Sherlock Holmes”.
Here is my MM:

The “Miss Julia” book looks so good! I can’t wait for your review 🙂
Wow, you had a very full mailbox this week. Happy reading.
What a fantastic haul! I’ve got a few of those in my pile too. 2010 is shaping up to be a fantastic year of releases. Happy reading!
Hey, what a great load of books. I haven’t been around for awhile and am trying to catch up with everything…need to review a few books as well. I haven’t read any of the books on your list, so I’m looking forward to your reviews.
You had a great week in your mailbox! I’m really looking forward to the Louisa May Alcott book.
Kathy, I can’t believe all the books you got last week! You are a champion book blogger. 🙂
I got only two: http://suko95.blogspot.com/2010/03/mailbox-monday-and-more.html

Wow, you got heaps of great-sounding books this week. Enjoy!
Wow! Only two for me.
I like the look of The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott. I can’t wait to hear more.
Holy cow you had quite a week!
I’m always a little envious of the size of your mailbox, have fun with them all.
I got This is Not the Story You Think It Is and The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott as well this week. I will be interested in hearing what you think of both of them as well. Lots of other great stuff there too! I am really excited that you got the Sherlock Holmes book as well, it looks like a great read!! Enjoy the new stack!!
What a great stack. Enjoy!
Great mailbox week! I started Postcards from a Dead Girl, and I’m really enjoying it. I feels like a book you need to sit down and just read until it’s done.
Quite a collection this week. 🙂
I love the title “Postcards from a Dead Girl”.
REALLY looking forward to reading The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott! Sounds like a real treat!!
Here’s my mailbox. 🙂
Hi Kathy, Postcards from a Dead Girl sounds intriguing. You have an interesting mailbox!
I’m really looking forward to the Denise Minas!
Looks like you will be seriously busy!! 😀
Excellent week! Enjoy the books!
Oh, my gosh! Your post/UPS deliverers must have strong biceps!
I read THE LOST SUMMER OF LMA this weekend; lovely story.
Enjoy your new books, Kathy.
As always, I’m very jealous of your mailbox!
another nice haul for you. what do you do with all these books, LOL.
Look at all the fun reading you get to do! Can’t wait to hear all about it!
Great stack of books, Kathy! The only one I’ve read is Daughter of Mine.
Enjoy!
I don’t know how you deal with so many books arriving every week! lol
Wow, so many great books! I can’t wait to read your thoughts on these books, especially “Lunch in Paris” and “Postcards from a dead girl”.
I can imagine how fun it was to come back home to all those packages 😀
Oh, I am a big fan of Mina, but have not read either of those two. I envy you…lol
What a great week for you! I didn’t get any new books, but that’s fine by me. I’m waiting on Fireworks Over Toccoa and The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott. Happy reading!

The Devil and Sherlock Holmes looks great. I’m going to consider purchasing. My book week was very quiet and tame. I purchased Venetia Kelly’s Traveling Show by Frank Delaney.
I love your books. I’ve read part of the Miss Julie series, not the whole series. I love those books. You have a good pile. Have fun!
Ok.. I am really really envious of that list! Whoa! Good list and enjoy!! 🙂
Wow, quite a mailbox! I’ve got Fireworks over Toccoa too.
