Mailbox Monday #77
Wow, the read-a-thon was crazy, especially since I headed over to the Germantown Library sale. I got some great books this week through my own purchases and in the mail.
I hope everyone has been enjoying the National Poetry Month Blog Tour; If you haven’t checked out the schedule or the posts, go here. Today's stop is Tea Leaves.
Marcia at The Printed Page and Kristi of The Story Siren both sponsor memes in which bloggers share what books they’ve received in the past week. I’m going to continue calling these Mailbox Mondays, but The Story Siren also has In My Mailbox. Just be warned that these posts can increase your TBR piles and wish lists.
Here’s what I received in the mail:
1. On Folly Beach by Karen White from the publisher for a TLC Book Tour in May.
2. Still Missing by Chevy Stevens from Shelf Awareness
3. Blood Oath by Christopher Farnsworth from Shelf Awareness
4. Letter to my Daughter by George Bishop, which I received from the author for the end-of year Vietnam War Reading Challenge giveaway, though this one came soaked to the house and the signature was smeared.
5. Wake Up (audio) by Jack Kerouac, which I won at Bibliofreak.
What I picked up at the library sale:
6. The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, two copies for the Vietnam War Reading Challenge giveaway.
7. A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain by Robert Olen Butler for a giveaway in the Vietnam War Reading Challenge.
8. In the Lake of the Woods by Tim O'Brien for a giveaway in the Vietnam War Reading Challenge.
9. Accordian Crimes by E. Annie Proulx
10. The Magician's Assistant by Ann Patchett; I thought I would give her another try since I didn't like Run.
11. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, which I have on my iPod, but I think that it will lend itself better to reading.
12. The Lazy Environmentalist by Josh Dorfman
13. The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde
14. Night by Elie Wiesel because my copy is missing in action somewhere.
15. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck because this copy is also missing.
16. Songs of Innocence and Experience by William Blake for a National Poetry Month Giveaway.
17. Wounded in the House of a Friend by Sonia Sanchez for a National Poetry Month Giveaway.
18. Blessing the Boats by Lucille Clifton for a National Poetry Month Giveaway.
19. Except by Nature by Sandra Alcosser for a National Poetry Month Giveaway.
