Hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page, Mailbox Monday is where readers can share what books they received in the mail, purchased, or borrowed last week.
Books I purchased:
- Get Lucky by Katherine Center
I was excited to read this book after reading this review by Carrie at Books and Movies. - The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen
I first found out about this book after reading Angie’s review on her blog Angieville earlier this year. I can’t wait to get started reading. - The Feast of Love by Charles Baxter
This book looked interesting, so I thought I’d give it a chance. - The Reading Group by Elizabeth Noble
I skimmed through this book, and I liked how the chapters were named after different books, probably books the book club in the novel were reading. It looked interesting as well. - Peace Like a River by Leif Enger
Don’t you love the name of this book? I just noticed the name of the author too—Leif. That’s cool. I remember finding this in a bookstore when I was living in Cherry Hill, NJ for a few months. I remember wanting to read it then, but I had so many other things to read at the time. I keep seeing reviews pop up about it, so I thought I’d finally pick up a copy. - Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris
I’ve heard a lot about this book, particularly that it’s really humorous and funny. When it was suggested as one of the ideas for our book club read this month I thought I’d give it a try.
You can expect to see reviews of these titles in the upcoming weeks. Have you read or heard about any of these books? Did you pick up any fun reads this week?

So glad you got a copy of Get Lucky! And Peace Like a River is one of my favorite books of. all. time.
Carrie K.´s last blog ..Book Review: Locked Rooms by Laurie R. King
I really liked Get Lucky and The Sugar Queen. I’ll read anything by either author
Have a good week!
I loved The Sugar Queen the most of her books. I hope you enjoy it a lot. Have a great week and happy reading.
I am a huge David Sedaris fan and most people say Me Talk Pretty One Day is his best book.
I read and reviewed The Reading Group earlier this year and enjoyed it!
Have a great week!
Thanks so much for the comments everyone!
Carrie- I’m definitely moving it up on my reading list, now that I know Peace Like a River is one of your favorites. I think we like a lot of the same books.
Mary- Love the new blog on WordPress!
Kaye- I’m glad to hear another great comment about the The Sugar Queen.
Colleen- That’s good to hear about Me Talk Pretty One Day. I’m hoping my book club will read it next month. I’m glad you liked The Reading Group. I haven’t heard anything about it before, so I was taking a bit of a chance. I always hate to buy a book and get halfway through only to realize I’m not the first person to be disappointed. But, on the other hand, it’s always fun to come across an unexpected great find as well.
