Welcome to the first Mailbox Monday of 2010! This weekly meme is hosted by Marcia from The Printed Page, and lets book lovers share the titles they purchased, received for review, or otherwise obtained during the past week. I added just one review copy, received two giveaway books, and bought a couple of books with Christmas gift cards.
Penguin Luck by Kay Mupetson, for review from Meryl L. Moss Media Relations Inc. I couldn’t pass this one up when I saw it was about a young professional visited by the ghosts of family members who perished in the Holocaust and want her to “carry on for them” as she juggles her career and romantic life.
Holocaust Poetry compiled by Hilda Schiff, contest win from Savvy Verse & Wit
The Penguin Book of First World War Poetry edited by Jon Silkin, contest win from Savvy Verse & Wit
Jane Bites Back by Michael Thomas Ford, which I purchased
Walking in Circles Before Lying Down by Merrill Markoe, which I purchased

I like the title, “Walking in Circles Before laying Down.” LOL! Enjoy your books.
I am curious about Jane Bites Back. I can’t wait to start seeing reviews of it pop up.
I’ve heard of a few of these. I picked up the box set of Uglies by Westerfeild earlier this week. Happy reading!
Lol, Jane bites back, enjoy that one ;=D
I’ll have to borrow some of these books…like Walking in Circles, Jane Bites Back, and the First World War poetry
Just finished JANE BITES BACK! I hope you like it. I need to write my review!
None for me this week, but you got some good ones. Enjoy!
Aww, Walking in Circle Before Lying Down looks sweet. I’ll be watching for your review.
All of your new books sound interesting. Penguin Luck looks like a really good read. I’ll watch for your review. Happy reading!
Looks like you have some wonderful books that came in. My book club really struggled with Walking In Circles… we had fun reviewing it though. I will be interested in reading your thoughts on it. 🙂
The poetry books seem especially interesting, Anna. I look forward to your reviews of your first books of 2010.
Enjoy all the books.
It always amazes me when I pop around how there are titles I have never heard of.
enjoy.
I’ve not heard of any of these books. I’ll be looking forward to your reviews!
Enjoy your loot!
