The Sandalwood Tree is the book I would love to read. The story sounds so good.
Enjoy you new books Kathy.I’m hoping I get a copy of Joy for beginners as I loved her first book.
I got Skipping a Beat too and can’t wait to get to it.
The book that really stood out from that pile of yours is Jake by Audrey Couloumbis! It’s so blue. I have not heard of it, but I hope it’s good. 🙂
Enjoy all those books you got there!
The Sandalwood Tree sounds so wonderful! I can’t wait to see what you think! Enjoy the books! I received Emily and Einstein and will be diving into that in the coming week!
They all sound so good….ENJOY!!
Great books you got there. I do wonder what the woman is going to do with all those balloons. Is she having a birthday party and couldn’t she herself blow them up. I wonder… Okay, enough of that! Enjoy the books you got there and have a fab day today! lol.
Sorry, that comment wasn’t for you. lol 🙂
What a great stash! I will be getting The Sandalwood Tree too and I can’t wait to read it. Enjoy all your books.

Shaun Tan is such a wonderful writer and illustrator. Can’t wait to hear more.
Yay for the new Shaun Tan! I hope it’s fantastic!
I’m looking forward to reading Joy for Beginners as I really enjoyed The School of Essential Ingredients.
I received The Sandalwood Tree. I’m looking forward to getting a copy of Joy for Beginners. I loved School of Essential Ingredients.

I always know I will find some good titles to put on my wish list from your MM post, Kathy. Jake really speaks to me as that is my dogs name. I look forward to all your reviews on these! Thanks for the well wishes for my family! I really appreciate it.
I got Joy for Beginners also. I am so tempted to read it now, but I want to wait since it isn’t coming out until June!
I do love seeing what new books everyone is getting in the mail! Gallaway’s book in particular interests me. I’ll be looking forward to reading your thoughts on it.
I think I am going to be reading Joy for Beginners soon as well, and it will be interesting to see what we both think of it. I have been thinking of you lately and wondering how you are doing. I hope all is well with you and I am hoping to have some time to pop you an email soon!
A wonderful selection of books this week. Joy for Beginners and Skipping a Beat were new to me, and both sound great from the descriptions.
Hope you enjoy them all 🙂
We posted about wins from each other today! 🙂 Have a wonderful Monday, Kathy.
I’m jealous. Enjoy !

Nice week!
Your mailbox had a very busy week. Some interesting looking books in your pile.
I see two books I’ve been wanting…Joy for Beginners and Skipping a Beat. What a lovely collection you got! Hope you enjoy them.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I read The Metropolis Case in Jan and enjoyed it — but it had a diff feel toward the end of the novel which was nice – but made me wish the entire novel was in that vein. I can’t wait to see what you think of it!
These all look like great books! Enjoy!
Got some interesting books! The Sandalwood Tree sounds good. Enjoy!
Nice looking mailbox this week, Kathy. Alas, nothing in mine but am hoping to get Sandalwood Tree soon for a book tour. Have a great week and enjoy all your new books.
I can’t wait to read your thoughts on Joy for Beginners. I’m read the author’s only non-fiction work and enjoyed it. Have a great week!
Great list of books. I hope you enjoy them all and I look forward to all your reviews.
What a great load of books! Happy reading this week!
You have a very full mailbox! Have fun reading all of those books — looks like you got some good ones. 🙂
Enjoy your books!
We have a lot of the same books. 🙂 Happy reading.
OOH I like Shaun Tan and Lost and Found sound good! Enjoy all those awesome books Kathy and YAY for Skipping A Beat!
Wow! Wonderful mailbox! I saw The Sandalwood Tree in another mailbox this morning. Enjoy all of your new books. 🙂
I loved Erica Bauermeister’s first book…it was delicious.
I love the way your books sort of come each day…enjoy!!!
Your mailbox likes you an awful lot.
Happy Reading!
I see a couple that are on my radar. Looking forward to your thoughts.
Great stack of books, I think Joy for Beginners is my favorite. Didn’t read all of the summaries. Out of the ones I did read Joy for Beginners stands out. Of course if you want to send me the whole pile of books that’s fine too.:)
They all look good. Joy for Beginners is on my wish list.
Your mailbox gave up some great stuff this week!!
The new Shaun Tan, Lost & Found, looks good! I’ve enjoyed his previous books. Will definitely have to add this to my list!
I got Mercy Creek too, enjoy your books.
I don’t know what it is about but “Joy For Beginners” is such a great title.
None of these are familiar but I hope you enjoy them! I didn’t get any new books last week but I got a few read that I needed to!
Another nice stack of books this week. I got The Sandalwood Tree too. I’ve been getting into historical fiction lately.
I’m hoping to get The Sandalwood Tree too. I liked her first novel.
Your mailbox is always full of new titles for me. I hope you enjoy them all!
I have read a lot of bloggers raving about Skipping a Beat; can’t wait to hear your thoughts! Happy reading!
Thanks for checking out my Mailbox Monday! Looks like you
really made out good this week!
Wow, what a great selection of books! I’m immediately jealous of Skipping a Beat. I hadn’t heard of Emily and Einstein– the title grabbed me, so I took a look at it and will definitely keep an ear out for that one, it sounds great!
Enjoy your new reads!
Oh wow all of these books sound fab!
Looks like you got some great books last week Kathy! Happy reading 🙂
It seems like you always get such a nice selection each week. I just want to know how you keep up with all of those books. LOL!
I received 2 again last week.
I got a copy of Joy for Beginners too, I can’t wait to dig in.
Lots of good books as usual. I’ve got a few of those coming my way too!
You got some great books! I have an eye on Joy for Beginners, so I can’t wait to see what you think!
I’m really excited about Joy for Beginners. Happy reading!
Another great week of wonderful mailbox! I’m so jealous…
