Mailbox Monday
January 31, 2011
Friday was my mother’s 84th birthday, so I’ve been in Alabama to celebrate with her. I’m on my way home today, so I wasn’t able to take a picture of my books. I did get Carl to let me know what came while I was gone, so the list is accurate. 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 I found in my mailbox last week:
Monday
- The Inner Circle by Brad Meltzer came from Hachette Books
- Kat, Incorrigible by Stephanie Burgis was a win from Simon and Schuster
- The Dressmaker of Khair Khana by Gayle Tzemach Lemmon came from Amazon Vine
Tuesday
- Minding Ben by Victoria Brown came from Hyperion Voice
- The Fifth Witness by Michael Connelly came from Hachette Books
- Death of a Chimney Sweep by M. C. Beaton came from Hachette Books
Wednesday
- French Dirt by Richard Goodman came from Algonquin Books
- The Jew Store by Stella Suberman came from Algonquin Books
- Cardboard Gods by Josh Wilker came from Algonquin Books
Friday
- Revolution: The Year I Fell in Love and Went to Join the War by Deb Olin Unferth came from Henry Holt and Company
Did you bring any new books into your home last week?

I’ve heard great things about Kat Incorrigable! Hope you them all.
Great week for you.
Hope you and your mother had a nice visit.
Lots of good ones Kathy. How nice to be able to visit with your mom for her birthday.
Happy Birthday to mom! And I’m impressed that you keep up with your flow of books, even when you are not there!
Great mailbox! Those sounds good and hope you enjoy your new books!
Seriously you have some ehavy duty book karma girl.
I saw Mary Bookfan also had the Dressmaker of Khair Khana. Looking forward to hearing what you will think of it next.
Happy belated to your mom and at least Carl picked up the Mailbox goodies along the way.
We started the week similarly but then we diverged! I’m curious to hear what you think about those memoirs.
Hope you had a nice visit…what a great time you must have had.
The books look fascinating, and I hope you enjoy them.
Here’s my MAILBOX/READING
Hope your mum had a good birthday. Lovely books as always.
Happy birthday to your mom! and I love all those Algonquin books. 🙂
The Dressmaker sounds so good! Enjoy your books Kathy!
I just read about Minding Ben in today’s Publishers Weekly and put it on my TBR…enjoy!!
Best wishes to your Mum. You have a goodly pile here!
Some good additions to your TBR pile this week, Kathy! I have an eARC of “Minding Ben”, so I’ll be curious to hear what you think of it.
Looks like you got a bunch of books I haven’t heard of. Hope you enjoy them
Have a great reading week…
Here is my Monday: Mailbox/What Are You Reading?/Musings post!
I also got The Fifth Servant last week, and am really excited about getting the chance to read it. I am really curious about The Dressmaker of Khair Khana, Kathy. and will be interested to read your take on it. A lot of great books made their way to you this time around, and I hope you enjoy them!
That’s quite a list. Enjoy!
What a wonderful way to spend the weekend, a very Happy Belated Birthday to your mother, what a blessing for you.
Great Mailbox last week, sounds like you have lots of good reading ahead.
Here’s what my mailman brought me: http://marthalama.wordpress.com/
Kathy, you certainly get a lot of interesting sounding books! Enjoy your time with your mother as well as your books. 🙂
So many amazing books…
I really want to read The Dressmaker in Khair Khana, hope you enjoy it.
Happy belated birthday!
I’ll be curious to see your thoughts on The Inner Circle. I wasn’t a big fan.
Enjoy your books 😀
Kat, Incorrigible and Revolution sound excellent. Enjoy your books.
I’m anxious to hear about The Jews Store. I’m a firm believer that birthdays should be spent with moms, as it’s my son’s birthday today, I think he should be with me, like on that original day, but he has other ideas. Bah !
here’s mine http://tributebooksmama.blogspot.com/2011/01/mailbox-monday-admission.html
Wow! So many good books! I also got Kat, Incorrigible but haven’t read any of the others. I look forward to your reviews. Hope you enjoy them all and have a great week! 🙂
That’s very special to be able to celebrate mom’s 84th birthday. And then to come home to a lovely bunch of books.
Nice mailbox…great way to snuggle up, keep warm and get through the winter.
You got so many! Lucky you. Hope you enjoy them all.

You’ve got great books! The dressmaker of Khair Khana sounds really good. Enjoy all your books and have a safe trip back.
You received some fascinating & very interesting books, Kathy! The Dressmaker of Kair Khana really interests me!
Happy Birthday to your mom!

Happy 84th Birthday to your mother.
Wow, so many great books. The Dressmaker of Khair Khana sounds great! Enjoy!
The Dressmaker of Khair Khana was in my mailbox last week too!
You had a good week! I got Kat, Incorrigible too.
I see we have Minding Ben in common. By the looks of it I think it will be more serious than The Nanny Diaries.
Your mailbox brought some great reads to you!!
That’s a nice load of books. I would especially be interested in The Jew Store and The Dressmaker..
Looks like a lot of great books there. I hope you enjoy them all!
I managed to have a week with no new books arriving in my house!
I also have Dressmaker to read. I’m so looking forward to it. Enjoy your books!
My Dressmaker review goes up tonite. Loved it.
Happy birthday to your mom and enjoy your new books.
Ah, I just found Minding Ben on netgalley. Enjoy!
Happy Belated Birthday to your Mom! Great lot of books too!
Happy 84th birthday to your mom!
That’s lots of lovely books and I’d be so glad to have some into my mailbox this week. Oh wait, I do have two in the mail… Will have something up for MM this coming Monday!
Happy Birthday to your mom, Kathy! So good that you’re close enough to be able to drive to spend it with her (albeit a long drive).
Kudos to Carl for checking your packages … I’m impressed! MINDING BEN looks like a fun books — enjoy them all!
I keep seeing ads for Brad Meltzer’s book The Inner Circle in the D.C. metro trains. I saw him speak several years ago and he was quite funny, but I’ve never actually read him. I should get around to that sometime.
Hello,
A brief note to say thanks for the mention of “The Dressmaker of Khair Khana.” I hope all of you enjoy this story — it has been quite a journey for me to bring to readers this universal story of unsung heroines who pull families through impossible times every day, all around the world.

Warm wishes,
