Mailbox Monday during the month of May is hosted by Martha from reviews from Martha's Bookshelf . It's an opportunity for bloggers to blog about the new books they have received the previous week.

- The Unseen; Katharine Webb (William Morrow)
- Faith Bass Darling's Last Garage Sale; Lynda Rutledge (Amy Einhorn Books)
- You Are Not Like Other Mothers; A. Schrobsdorrf (Europa - from paperbackswap member)
- In One Person; John Irving (audiobook - Simon and Schuster)
- The Boy Who Stole the Leopards Spots; Tamar Myers (William Morrow)
- A Rural Affair; Catherine Alliot (sent by author)
- Ninepins; Rosy Thornton (sent by author)
- The Emerald Storm; William Dietrich (Harper)

Hoping this was a good week for you as well.
Why on earth embarassed? Enjoy the pile - so many good books here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great stash! I heard wonderful things about Last Garage Sale. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteSo many good books! I'm just starting to read I Never Promised You a Goodie Bag. It looks like a fun memoir. Have a great week, Diane!
ReplyDeleteThese all look fantastic. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI have really been wanting to read that Last Garage Sale book...I just love the cover!
ReplyDeleteA couple of them have my interest! Not one book came for me last week. Very strange, maybe my mail lady, who I talk books with, is reading them first! LOL
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! your great week of reads.

Don't be embarrassed, enjoy the books! I've heard good things about The Boy Who Stole The Leopard Spots.
ReplyDeleteNice week. You have some catchy titles. I'm probably the only one that looked up the description of The Other Side of Normal first. And then added it to my to-read list.
ReplyDeleteThe Unseen looks very intriguing. Hope you find some winners in your stack! Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a lot of loot! I like the striped, "beachy" background of these photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mailbox you had. I'm only a little jealous. Happy reading.
