Thanks to Marcia of The Printed Page for hosting this fun meme that has us list the books that we received last week. You can go to her blog to see what everyone else got last week or to play along. Here is what I found in my mailbox:
I didn't get a whole lot, but I have plenty on my shelves to keep me busy so I'm not complaining! So what was in your mailbox this last week?
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. ~Francis Bacon

Looking good :)
I got a Susan Higginbottom book so I am happy
Wishin' and Hopin' is so good - I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Those look good, I would LOVE to read the Wally Lamb one!
Both of these look fun. Happy reading:)
Happy reading! I got less than you!
Alayne
The Crowded Leaf
I've heard wonderful things about Wishin' and Hopin' and it's the perfect week for reading it. I am a fan of Wally Lamb, too. I am not familiar with Mansel but I have seen her book(s) in several blogs and they sounds very enjoyable!
Happy Reading :o)
You may not have got a whole lot but you sure did get a couple of good ones.
Jo-Jo Hello-How Sweet that you are my Secret Santa-Thank you so much for your package. I was all excited opening it. My kitties love the box-they are fighting as to who gets to go inside. The hot cocoa will come in handy and I can hardly wait to sit and read the book.
Also I really like Burt's Bee-so I can always use the lip balm and I will wait until Christmas for the present. I am flying home so I may leave it under the tree until after I return. Thank you very much-I will post about it this week.
Merry Christmas to you-It has been nice getting to know you this year. I look forward to reading more of your reviews throughout the year.
I really liked Wishin' and Hopin'!
Wishin and Hopin is a good one so laugh and enjoy!
The Wishin& Hoping looks good . I loved Lamb's She's Come Undone.
Happy Reading!
The Wally Lamb book looks good and I love Jill Mansell! Happy reading.
Both books I've read and enjoyed!!
Hope you enjoy the Mansell book as much as I did!
