So Many Precious Books, So Little Time: Mailbox Monday

Mailbox Monday

Mailbox Monday now has it's very own blog, Mailbox Monday. It is also on tour and is being hosted by Martha's Bookshelf in May.

This is what I received last week:

I actually got this today from Net Galley. It feature excerpts for books from authors that will be at the BEA this year. I'm not going this year but will be taking part in the Armchair BEA. They are taking registration for the Armchair BEA, so go register if you can't go to the one in NYC this year. I plan to go again to the BEA in NYC in 2013.

I received this from Net Galley and Unbridled Books. I read Peter Geye's Safe From the Sea in 2010 and it blew me away!

I received this book and the next from Minotaur Books/St. Martin's Press, unsolicited. They are not to my taste but I will find good homes for them.

The BEA buzz looks fun, a nice intro to some upcoming titles, I imagine!

I think the Catriona McPherson sounds good --- I've seen her compared to Dorothy Sayers.

I will participate in the Armchair BEA this year for the first time. Looking forward to it!

I really like the cover for The Proper Treatment of Blood-stains. Very unique.

The Mysterium looks interesting. I will have to keep it in mind. I have all ready checked out the BEA Buzz Books and now have a list of books I want to read...

Julia, it looked like fun to me too. I won't have time to read all the excerpts in it, it's over 600 pages but I can pick and choose. I am really looking foward to Neil Young's memoir excerpt. I am really bummed that I can't go to the BEA this year, he is giong to be there! Sigh!

Kathy, I gave Safe from the Sea 5/5 so I don't know how he could top that but I can hardly wait to read Lighthouse!

Perogyo, I have heard that too.

Kelly, we really stay away from all book buzz anything. My guess you list is as out of control as mine. LOL!

I still haven't read Safe From the Sea, but I really want to. Can't wait to hear what you think of The Lighthouse Road. Enjoy!

Anna, it's not WWII, like your partial to, but it's still excellent!

Proper Treatment of Blood Stains looks like an interesting book... Sad to hear it isn't to your taste, I wonder if I'll like it...
