    I can't pick yet -- right now am stymied as one of these pages has a music widget that plays automatically and it's clashing with the blog hop song! But so far, what I've heard, I love -- how do I choose between Detors and McKinnett and Teng?!

Seen both at Mailbox Monday -- hosted in February at Metro Reader -- and The Story Siren, my Mailbox Monday/In My Mailbox. What an insane week! And by insane, I mean, amazing. This might win for the most arrivals in a week since I've started blogging. Honestly, my jaw is on the ground -- I'm blown away and super excited to read all these. What did you get this week? Read any of these?

Did I finish?: I did, although I lingered!
One-sentence summary: Twenty-three essays on writing and reading by a passionate, sharp, reader and author.
Reading Challenges:Dewey Decimal

May's Mailbox Monday is hosted at Martha’s Bookshelf. I think this week I got the most books ever in a week and I'm flabbergasted. My picture of the stack doesn't even include all the e-ARCs, obviously -- what a week! I feel like a kid at Christmas -- just giddy with delight. I don't even know where to start! What did you get this week? Read any of these? As usual, click a cover to learn more about the book (link will open in a new tab/window). Do you still like this format or is it getting too image heavy? Should I switch back to the list?
