Mailbox Monday: Why I Blog About Books


Books and more books, delivered to my doorstep, are the main reason I blog about books.  Of course, they arrive carefully packaged, in envelopes and boxes, but often they're left at the front door, greeting me as I return home.  Below are the details about the origin of each book pictured above.

The Paper Garden by Molly Peacock and I Am Forbidden by Anouk Markovits arrived from the publishers for upcoming TLC book tours.  I won three of these books, A Creed in Stone Creek by Linda Lael Miller on Kristin's blog, Always With a BookThe Rebel Wife by Taylor M. Polites on Kathy's blog,  BermudaOnion's Weblog, and The Quaker State Affair by Dan Romain on Naida's blog, the bookworm.  Additionally, I just found out that I won another book, I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith, on Vivienne's blog, Serendipity Reviews (I'm on a roll!).  I ordered  Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult from a used bookseller on Amazon, which I'll read for The Jodi Picoult Project, a reading challenge I created because I wanted to read more novels by this prolific author.  (There's a plethora of links in this paragraph!)


Mailbox Monday is hosted this month by Martha's Bookshelf. What new books have arrived at your home recently?

Mailbox Monday


Mailbox Monday, hosted this month by Anna from Diary of an Eccentric,  provides a socially acceptable way for us to boast about our new books.  Here's what arrived in my mailbox last week.  Actually, my mailman very kindly delivered these directly to my front door!

For an upcoming TLC tour I received a new novel, The Iguana Tree by Michel Stone.  A slim book, Ten Healthy Teas, arrived from the author, Valerie B. Lull.  I also received Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google? by William Poundstone, which I won on Leslie's blog,  Under My Apple Tree.  I also recently won (but have not yet received) a thriller,  Blue Monday by Nicci French, on Naida's blog, the bookworm, and I just found out this morning that I won a novel about the antebellum South, The Rebel Wife by Taylor M. Polites, on Kathy's blog, BermudaOnion's Weblog.  I'm very excited about these new books!
