Mailbox Monday - August 24





Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page .


Can you ever get too many new books? This week I was thinking --yes, I think you can. (They are here though----so I'm not parting with them now; it's like a pet...each one is now part of the family :)
So here's what arrived:
  1. Songs for the Butcher's Daughter; Manseau (bought it)
  2. The Devil's Company; Liss (giveaway win)
  3. Of Bees and Mist; Setiawan (paperbackswap)
  4. Henry's Sisters; Cathy Lamb (bought it)
  5. Mercury in Retrograde; Froelich (bought it)
  6. Invisible Mountain; De Robertis (ARC)
  7. Repeat After Me; De Woskin (paperback swap)
  8. The Ground Beneath Her Feet; Rushdie (bought it)
  9. A Circle of Souls; Grandhi (author)
  10. White Mary; Salak (audio)
  11. The Weight of Silence; Gudenkauf (paperback swap)
  12. A Map of Home; Jarrar (penguin)
Share with us what treasures you received this week.

    Great week! I almost bought "Songs for the Butcher's Daughter" yesterday also, but was feeling frugal so I abstained! It's only a matter of time though....

    Enjoy!

    I really want to read Of Bees and Mist, so I will be interested to hear what you thought of the book. Great stash this week. I hope you get lots of time to read your new books!

    Wow, you had a great week! I've only heard of a couple of those titles, but they all sound good. Yes, I know what you mean about books being like pets. Once a book comes into my possession, it's pretty much mine for life!

    Oh, how wonderful! Twelve new little treasures for you. I've only read 2 books by David Liss but I loved them both and have another on the shelf.

    Looking forward to reading your reviews. Read fast! ;)

    There is no such thing as Too Many Books. Its just a fable, put out there to scare small children when the Boogie Man doesn't work!
