Zero, zip, zilch! Next time, I'll request expedited shipping. This past week, I didn't get any books in the mail--my mailbox was devoid of books. Good grief!
Don't feel too sorry for me though, because I'm expecting a few books in the mail soon that I think will be extraordinary, including
Beneath Cold Seas: The Underwater Wilderness of the Pacific Northwest by photographer
David Hall,
Fleeting Memory, the first mystery in the
Enescu Fleet series by
Sherban Young, and a book I couldn't resist ordering earlier today after seeing it on Bellezza's blog,
Dolce Bellezza,
Christmas Stories (Everyman's Library) by a variety of writers, edited by
Diana Secker Tesdell.

ReplyDeleteHope you get some lovely book parcels soon!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the anticipation is almost as good as actually getting the books, right? (Note I said almost! ::grin::)
ReplyDeleteYes! Usually books zoom through the mail to me. I don't mind waiting a bit, especially during this busy time of the year.
DeleteLook at it as a catch up week! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to wait for books during the holiday season; everything takes so long....
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Fleeting Memory was a cute read, hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gigi Ann. I saw this book reviewed on a few blogs, including yours.
DeleteI am expecting zip, zero, zilch this week, but I may be surprised. :)

I didn't get any books this week, but will have my book club meeting and will order that book soon. I hope your books arrive in time for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBeneath the Cold Seas sounds like it's going to be excellent! I love books that take a look at previously uncharted territory and give the reader a peek inside. Excellent stuff making its way to your mailbox!!
ReplyDeleteA catch up time for you, I hope you receive your new books soon.

I love that you ordered the Christmas Stories from Everyman's Library (just as I did when I saw it last year). Don't worry if it comes late, you'll still enjoy each one. I can't wait to read the one by Truman Capote since everyone says it's so fantastic. That gives me something to look forward to tonight. :)
ReplyDeleteBellezza, the Truman Capote Christmas story interests me as well. I'm not sure if I'll read the stories in order, or skip around.
DeleteI'm a bit late in linking up today. I thought I was going to get a head start. Wrote my post yesterday, just needed to publish it this am and then link up. UGH! Life gets in the way!!
ReplyDeleteLast Monday I had none to post either. It's OK, fun to look forward to books you know are in the mail. Or maybe under the Christmas tree!! :)
I hope those books arrive soon, but if you're anything like me, you have PLENTY to read in the meantime. ;)
ReplyDeleteWell I hope Santa doesn't forget to bring you books1
ReplyDeleteI look forward to zero books sometimes. I try to use it to catch up some.
ReplyDeleteNo book weeks can be good catching up weeks! Have a great one.

Sounds like our household in which its either all or nothing - some weeks I worry about our post man's back and the possibility of a hernia and yet other weeks, as you say, there are no book deliveries and he sighs a huge sigh of relief.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the books when they get there Suko! I think I need a few weeks of 'no book' deliveries myself...lol.
ReplyDeleteSometimes those no-book-weeks are a blessing. Sorry it took me so long to get around to commenting!
