Mailbox Mondays (click the icon to check out the new blog) has gone on tour since Marcia at A Girl and Her Books, formerly The Printed Page passed the torch. This month’s host is the At Home With Books.
Kristi of The Story Siren continues to sponsor her In My Mailbox meme.
Both of these memes allow bloggers to share what books they receive in the mail or through other means over the past week.
Just be warned that these posts can increase your TBR piles and wish lists.
Here’s what I received this week:
1. What Looks Like an Elephant by Edward Nudelman, which I’ll be reading and discussing as part of the Indie Lit Awards short list titles.
2. Sonics in Warholia by Megan Volpert, which I’ll be reading and discussing as part of the Indie Lit Awards short list titles.
What did you receive?

After all the prodding and poking my team and I did on Facebook, Twitter, and our blogs, the nominations for poetry rolled in with over 200 nominations coming in for a variety of poetry.
But there were some clear favorites in the voting, with one short listed nominee collecting more than 70 votes alone.
I want to take this moment to thank the judging panel — Diary of an Eccentric, Necromancy Never Pays, 1330V, and Regular Rumination — for all of their help. And as you know, with the announcement of the short list, your jobs are not over. It is now time to read and discuss the short listed titles below.
- Beyond Scent of Sorrow by Sweta Vikram (Modern History Press)
- Catalina by Laurie Soriano (Lummox Press)
- What Looks Like an Elephant by Edward Nudelman (Lummox Press)
- Three Women: A Poetic Triptych and Selected Poems by Ramos, Emma Eden (Heavy Hands Ink)
- Sonics in Warholia by Megan Volpert (Sibling Rivalry Press)
Luckily, the individual presses of these books have kindly offered to send copies of the books to all the panelists. I wish all of the poets luck.
