Mailbox Monday #85
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:
1. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson, which I pre-ordered so I could finally start this series.
2. The Hypnotist by M.J. Rose for review.
3. The Memory of Water by Karen White, which I purchased from the library for 50 cents.
4. Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky, which I purchased from the library for 50 cents.
5. The Piano Teacher by Janice Y.K. Lee, which I purchased from the library for 50 cents.
6. Take a Chance on Me by Jill Mansell for review from Sourcebooks, and I'm surprised to see quotes from my reviews and others, like Booking Mama and Diary of an Eccentric.
7. Free to a Good Home by Eve Marie Mont for review.
8. The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, a giveaway win from Bibliofreak's Blogiversary.
9. The Lace Makers of Glenmara by Heather Barbieri for a TLC Book Tour.
