Mailbox Monday
January 10, 2011
It’s Monday, so it’s time for one of my favorite memes, Mailbox Monday. I always enjoy seeing what everyone discovered in their mailboxes. Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of The Printed Page and is being hosted by Rose City Reader during the month of January. Here’s what found it’s way into my home:
Monday
- Hollywood Hills by Joseph Wambaugh came from Hachette Books
Wednesday
- Drinking Closer to Home by Jessica Anya Blau came from Harper Collins
- The Memory Palace by Mira Bartok came from Simon & Schuster
- Learning to Swim by Sara J. Henry came from the author
Saturday
- Reading Lips by Claudia Sternbach came from Unbridled Books
What did you find in your mailbox last week?

Oh, these are all new to me. I hope you enjoy them all. Looking forward to your reviews.
This is a nice mix of books. The Memory Palace came to me as well; enjoy them all!
I’m not familiar with any of those but I hope you enjoy them all. Have a great week and happy reading.
I haven’t heard of these, so I’m looking forward to your reviews. Enjoy!
I’m not a great memoir reader but The Memory Palace sounds like a riveting read. Enjoy your books!
I hope you have a great week ahead 🙂 Enjoy!
Really looking forward to your review of Learning to Swim.
I am interested in The Memory Palace!
Here is my post!
The memory Palace looks so good. Enjoy your books.
A great selection, happy reading.

A fairly full mailbox for you. Would like to see what you think of The Memory
Palace. My Mailbox is also up
Looks like a great stack. Enjoy!
Enjoy all of your new books! I read Drinking Closer to Home on my Kindle and ended up loving that book.
Great selection of books this week. The one that is particularly interesting to me is Learning to Swim. I’ll be looking forward to your reviews 🙂
Enjoy your week Kathy!
Oh, I read a Joseph Wambaugh book many years ago…loved it! It was a dark tale, as I recall, so I’m guessing that his take on the glamor capital will not be a superficial one. Sounds good!
Here’s my MM:

Hope you have a great reading week. I get nothing in my mailbox since I’m in book buying band mode. =)
Great mailbox 😀
I had one too, the mail FINALLY started to come as before so I had some parcels, it was like there was one big stop for 3 weeks. And now things from way back came
All new titles to me bt they look good!
I finished reading a book last night and have decided to take a few days to pick up another title. My christmas decorations are still up and I need to prioritize! 🙂
Have a great week.
I got The Memory Palace too and can’t wait to read it! The others are new to me, but I hope that you enjoy them!
These are all new to me!
I used to love Wambaugh! I’m looking forward to reading DRINKING CLOSER TO HOME!
Those all look good!
Terrific books here, Kathy! The Memory Palace sounds very good. Learning to Swom is on my list to read so I hope you enjoy it!

I want to read all three of the books you got on Wednesday! Enjoy all your new reads!
I’ve had good luck with Unbridled Books, so enjoy that one!
I haven’t heard of any of these. I hope you enjoy them.
These are all new to me titles so I’ll be watching for your reviews to see if you like them. I hope they are all good reads.
Nice list! Hollywood Hills looks interesting. I haven’t read any Wambaugh, but he’s been on my to-read list for a while.
Again…they all look amazing…but especially Learning To Swim…early reviews on that one are amazing…
Oh the Memory Palace sounds like a hard hitting read. Something to stir the heart & no doubt moments of tears too. I’ll be anxious to hear what you think next.
Another winning mailbox girl you just have good mailbox karma 🙂
I can’t wait to read your thoughts on The Memory Place.

I’ve seen the Memory Place around the blog world. I will look forward to your review!
I really want to read The Memory Palace. I just read an NYTimes article about it and it has me really intrigued! Enjoy your books!
I got Reading Lips as well. It looks really good.
Dear Nicole,
I hope you like the book. And if you have a kissing story you want to share, Unbridled Books is hoping to hear from you! Visit their website to check it out.
Most warmly,

I just finished ‘Drinking Close to Home’ will be interested on your take. Enjoy your reads 😀
I’m not really familiar with many of those, but I saw The Memory Palace on one other blog this evening, and it sounds interesting. Happy Reading Kathy!
These are all new titles to me as well, although I have heard of The Memory Palace. Great mailbox…enjoy!
Looks like you’ve had another great week!
ooh, THE MEMORY PALACE is calling to me! And DRINKING CLOSER TO HOME … and … well, they all look great!
What a fun group of books! I’m really looking forward to your review of Drinking Closer to Home!
That looks like a really fun selection. I got Drinking Closer to Home. Can’t wait to get to it.
I was just listening to Fresh Air on NPR today on my way home and they were interviewing the author for The Memory Palace. It sounded like a very intense, interesting memoir. Hope they are all good.
I love the title The Memory Palace!
Wow, I haven’t heard anything about Wambaugh for awhile. I’ll be interested to hear how you like that one.
I haven’t heard of any of these books!!! Yikes .. usually I’ve heard of at least one in your mailbox.
Great lot of books Kathy! Enjoy!
I haven’t heard of them but happy reading!
A bunch of websites are going to be doing giveaways of
