Mailbox Monday - May 4, 2009

I had a pretty slow week until Friday, and then I was bombarded with books! My kids and I have already read two of the kids' books, but I need to get moving on the grown-up ones.

DORK DIARIES: TALES FROM A NOT-SO-FABULOUS LIFE (ARC) by Rachel Renee Russell

SACRED MOUNTAIN: EVEREST by Christine Taylor-Butler - I "won" this beautiful childrens' books on Twitter. I think my nine year old is going to really enjoy looking at it.

FRECKLEFACE STRAWBERRY AND THE DODGEBALL BULLY by Julianne Moore and illustrated by LeUyen Pham

THE SPARE ROOM by Helen Garner

HOME SAFE by Elizabeth Berg

FODOR'S NEW YORK CITY 2009 - I wanted a copy of this book so my family and I could check out all of the things to do in New York. We are heading there the end of the month of BEA.

DARLING JIM by Christian Moerk

THE LAST SECRET by Mary McGarry Morris

FERN VERDANT & THE SILVER ROSE by Diana Leszczynski

MAX QUIGLEY: TECHNICALLY NOT A BULLY (ARC) by James Roy

ANNIE'S GHOSTS: A JOURNEY INTO A FAMILY SECRET by Steve Luxenberg

THE WALKING PEOPLE by Mary Beth Keane

STRANGE ANGELS (ARC) by Lili St. Crow

BUSY WOMAN SEEKS WIFE by Annie Sanders

BELONG TO ME by Marisa de los Santos

And.....

I got an awesome tee-shirt from my new friends at GetGlue.com. If you haven't checked out what Glue can do for you, take a loot at the video!









What did you get last week?

    You had another good week. The titles of Dork Diaries and Freckleface both caught my eye.

    I didn't get anything in my mailbox last week, which is just fine becuase I have lots of books to catch up on. You got a great list - Home Safe and You Belong To Me are two that I enjoyed.

    Wow - you had a great week, and I haven't read any of those, so I'm off to look a few up that sound like they might need to be added to my wish list.
