In My Mailbox (8/29/10)

In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren.  I love visiting my blogging friends' mailboxes and finding new books to read!


For Review:


Gift:
Private by James Patterson (thank you Mom for passing this book on to me!)
 
Library:
 Witch and Wizard by James Patterson (thank you to Emma Michaels for the recommendation)


Thank You Note:
From Olivia Byrd Cooley, who wrote Miss Hildreth Wore Brown. She sent me the nicest thank you note, written in brown ink on pink and brown stationary (which coordinates with her book cover!).  It is the second thank-you note I've received from an author, which is very exciting.  I showed it to my mom and she said, "That's what good Southern manners are all about!"  
What's in your mailbox this week?

  2. Brilliant books, and that letter is so sweet. It's quite an honour and very validating to know they see and read what we write, eh? I'm interested to see what you think of Witch & Wizard...to be totally blunt, I truly disliked it haha and that's rare for me. Very, very rare.

  7. I love the look of your blog. It's so cute! I'm not a James Patterson fan. Plus and Everything Hurts looks really good. Enjoy your new reads.

  8. Some great books, and isn't it so nice when authors are appreciative! I always am so thankful to recieve books for review but then get an extra buzz when the author is so nice about it. Thanks for stopping by my blog - I'd rather be reading all the time too :-)

  10. Loved the cover for Everything Hurts... that's what I look like since coming back from holidays. Ouch ouch ouch... no more dancing till the wee hours for fundraisers... Can't do the thang dance at my age so next time... will be the one clapping for others on the side.
    Great loot and can't wait to read the reviews.

  11. Hi Kelly,

    This is Bernadette, blogger over at the Plus by Veronica Chambers blog (beewilsonplus.posterous.com). So awesome to hear that you've got your hands on Plus! We'll certainly keep an eye out, but if you get around to reading it and posting a review, give us a ring -- we'd love to check it out and possibly feature it on our site. E-mail us at beewilsonplus@gmail.com & meanwhile, check out the blog!

    Best,
    Bee, Vee (Veronica, of course) and Other Bee (Me, Bernadette!)
