Mailbox Monday, February 20
Seen both at Mailbox Monday -- hosted in February at Metro Reader -- and The Story Siren, my Mailbox Monday/In My Mailbox. I'm sick again -- can you believe it?! But another amazing week of arrivals perked me up! What did you get this week? Read any of these?

I got the Sumerton Women too and am really looking forward to it. Year of the Gadfly is on my WL. Will be interested to see what you think of it :)
ReplyDeleteMe too -- it looks very fun! What does "WL" mean? I'm super intrigued by Year of the Gadfly -- I love the cover, too.
DeleteYou had a fabulous week -- congrats!
ReplyDeleteThe Sumerton Women sounds good. Looking forward to your review :)
ReplyDeleteSomeone sure got a lot of cool books this week :D
ReplyDeleteI know! It made my week!

ReplyDeleteThe books all look tempting...and I'm especially intrigued by the Jacqueline Winspear books. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHere's MY MONDAY MEMES POST
Fantastic mailbox, Audra. Can't wait for your review of The Summerton Women. The cover of Girl Reading is lovely - is it a work of fiction? I read the first Maisie Dobbs book last year and will definitely continue with the series.
ReplyDeleteIt's a novel, or novella -- a series of vignettes about women reading, inspired by art. I'm really excited about that!
DeleteWhat a fantastic, heavy mailbox. Enjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I so want The Year of the Gadfly. enjoy and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI got the Algonquin books too. I need to look for the new Winspear for my mom. Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new books! Those look good to me...
ReplyDeleteHere is my post!
I got the first and the most recent Maisie Dobbs! I am looking forward to getting into the series. I am curious about the last book you have in your mailbox! That title sure grabs you!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it sound amazing? It's available as a $1.99 ebook for the next few days if you're curious!
DeleteHoly cow you have some books there! 1. The Receptionist sounds so intriguing, so I'll be eager to hear how you like it. 2. Maisie! I'm so glad to see you trying out Maisie! 3. I got The Arsonist's Guide in the Algonquin sale too. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteA really great list of reads, enjoy!

Carrie: Your enthusiasm for the Maisie books sold me on them, and I know I'm missing a bit by jumping in so late to the series, I figured it couldn't hurt. I'm very excited to start The Receptionist!
DeleteI hope you enjoy the Winspear books, they are very good. Have a good week and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIt's my first foray in to the series -- so many people love it that I just couldn't resist!
DeleteWhat a wonderfully varied selection of books! The Receptionist, Girl Reading and the Jacqueline Winspear books look great! I'm not so sure what I think of the Contact trio but I'm interested in your reviews.
ReplyDeleteThe Arsonists Guide to Writer's Homes is a hilarious title. And it sounds intriguing!
Have a happy time reading them all, Audra!
Wow, fantastic mailbox list!
ReplyDeleteI love the Winspear covers!
ReplyDeleteOh, no! Hope you feel better soon. At least you have some great-sounding books to get you through.
