In My Mailbox

I think I have finally settled on a way to do my Sunday wrap up.  I really like the way Story Siren does hers and as she offers this up for others to do too… I think I will.  🙂

This last week was a pretty good week for the mailbox… lets see what we got:


1.  The first two books, Wally The Walking Fish and The Turkey Treat came from Walking Fish Books for review

2.  Stray Affections by Charlene Ann Baumbich is a blog tour in September for Randomhouse

3.  The Sign For Drowing by Rachel Sttolzman is my review copy.  I have a current giveaway going from Rachel and she has sent me two signed copies of this book to give away.  See the interview and giveaway here.

4.  Receive Me Falling by Erika Robuck is a review copy from the publisher, Kelly & Hall Book Publishing – Historical Fiction – oh yeah!

5.  Cost by Roxana Robinson came from the marketing Dept of Picador.

6.  How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World by Jordan Christy is from Hachette Book Group and looks to be a great read!

7.  Dancing With Anna by Nicole Barker came from the author.  I have seen a couple reviews on this one.

8.  The Story Sisters by Alice Hoffman I won and for the life of me I can not remember from who.  (If it is you, please let me know and I will correct it here) I really need to take better notes!

9.  The two Pirate books I also won and these were from J Kaye’s Blog.  Thank you J Kaye!  🙂

10.  Last, but certainly not least… my friend Jennifer was in Ukraine last week on a Missions Trip (her first!) and she brought me back this lovely book:  Prisoner of Tehran byMarina Nemat.  She picked this book up in Amsterdam.
Week in Review:  It was a busy weekend with relatives from California in town and then our Church Picnic Potluck was today and I help out with that.  I have another busy week coming up as my teem for Honduras starts meeting this Monday, Tuesday is Book Club, and Friday I am going out of town with my good friends Heidi and Sara to a large flee market and will not return until Sunday!

Here are a few highlight posts from this last week:
