Mailbox Monday September 29

Welcome to Mailbox Monday, a meme started by Marcia of To Be Continued, and now hosted on its own blog.   Things were back to normal last week.  I’m done with the doctor – for a few months anyway.  As far as books go, I actually broke even – I finished four books and got four new ones.  Here are the books that showed up in my mailbox:

What did you find in your mailbox last week?

    Like the sound of Shadows in the Vineyard

    I wouldn’t even bother reading a book about self control, LOL!

  3. September 29, 2014 6:34 am

    Well done on breaking even! I need a few weeks like that! All or Nothing looks like a good read, enjoy!

    That marshmallow test thing … it seems to be everywhere now.

    I saw the author of the Marshmallow Test on Colbert this week, he was interesting.

    Another week of intriguing books! Enjoy!

    I’ve been seeing Shadows in the Vineyard around for awhile now and I really want to read it. Enjoy your books!

    Nice mailbox…you get the most interesting books. I don’t know any of them, but the self-control one looks good.

    Shadows in the Vineyard looks good too.

    ENJOY your reading week.

    What an eclectic collection of books. Happy reading, Kathy!

    Brewster looks really interesting to me. I just moved from a town not that far away from Brewster, NY and my husband had a relative who used to live there before she passed. Having a storyline in 1968 (for a person of my age) makes this a must-read, thanks!
    By the way, I read the blurb for the Marshmallow test, and I would’ve taken the first choice–lol– wouldn’t have the patience to wait for two.

    Brewster looks very interesting to me, too. My favorite great aunt lived there while I was growing up.

    Hurray for breaking even and to a break from doctors!

  17. September 29, 2014 1:14 pm

    Hi Kathy,

    I am so pleased that you get to be free of the doctor for a decent period of time, you must feel so relieved and free!

    It would be so good to break even on my books read and gained, either that or I need to have several lifetimes in which to complete the challenge!

    I am not a huge non-fiction reader, unless I come across fantastic looking ‘coffee table’ books, which can be browsed rather than read.

    I do hope that you enjoy all your great new addition though and look forward to catching some of your reviews of them.

    Enjoy your week,

    Yvonne

    I have to say I was well saddened to read the small print of the marshmallow test, I was so hoping it would be a great work of fiction!

  19. September 29, 2014 2:23 pm

    Fabulous books. Shadows in the Vineyard and The Marshmallow Test need to go on my wish list.

    Thanks for visiting The Busy Mom’s Daily.

    Shadows in the vineyard has caught my eye this week!

  21. September 29, 2014 3:45 pm

    All your books look interesting! Can’t wait to read your thoughts on them!

  22. September 29, 2014 4:03 pm

    Some great titles, Shadows In The Vineyard caught my eye.

    Happy reading 😀

    Looking forward to your reviews of these books. I’m just starting a week of appointments. Not getting many steps lately due to unexplained stiffness in all of my joints! It came on really fast last week. I don’t get sick or sore joints as a rule so I headed to the MD today. Hope it’s not a medical mystery, LOL! Have a good week, Kathy 🙂

  25. September 29, 2014 7:39 pm

    All or Nothing sounds riveting, Kathy! I hope you enjoy each of these books, and look forward to your reviews.

  26. September 29, 2014 7:57 pm

    Oh wow, all are new to me this week –enjoy

  27. September 29, 2014 8:51 pm

    Glad your doctoring is done! I’ve had Brewster on my stacks for awhile. Have a great week.

  28. September 29, 2014 10:33 pm

    I hope you stay well for a long while. All your books are new to me. Shadows in the Vineyard looks good. Enjoy your week!

  29. September 29, 2014 11:38 pm

    I got The Marshmallow Test at BEA, but have yet to read it. It’s my kind of book, though. 🙂

  30. September 30, 2014 5:34 pm

    The Marshmallow Test sounds like a book I would like. I’d wait and get two marshmallows!

  31. September 30, 2014 9:47 pm

    Shadows in the Vineyard sounds super interesting!

    I didn’t get any of these!!!!

  33. October 1, 2014 10:39 am

    I’ve heard about THE MARSHMALLOW TEST and am curious about it. Anxious to hear what you think!

  34. October 1, 2014 6:45 pm

    I think you’ll like Brewster. I read it last year and thought it was slow to get moving but I was hooked by the end.

    I always discover new books in your mailbox. Enjoy!
