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 Book, The 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?

I am never disappointed in Jodi Piccoult's novels. I'll bet this one is another great read!

ReplyDeleteEnjoy all those books Suko :) So true, it's so nice to arrive home and find a book at your doorstep. At one point I stopped accepting books for review for a few months, and I actually felt sad not getting packages. It's such a nice treat.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice treat, Naida. And although I have enough books to last me several years, it would be hard to give up those lovely packages!
DeleteMy review partner, Sandra, read The Paper Garden and loved it. She also met the author. Enjoy your new books! And thanks for visiting my site.
ReplyDeleteOh I agree, I love receiving books on my doorstep! It never gets old!
