Mailbox Mondays (click the icon at the right to check out the new blog) has gone on tour since Marcia at The Printed Page passed the torch. This month our host is Rose City Reader . 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:
1. Dreaming in English by Laura Fitzgerald from Penguin.
2. Haunting Jasmine by Anjali Banerjee from Penguin.
3. The Other Life by Ellen Meister for a TLC Tour in February/March.
4. Staying at Daisy’s by Jill Mansell from Sourcebooks for March review.
5. Half in Love by Linda Gray Sexton for a TLC Tour in January.

What did you receive in your mailbox?
How fun that you’re filling your baby’s bookshelves!
Whew! What a great, fun-filled mailbox! I have The Other Life in my review pile, and Cross Fire in my TBR pile – some of the others look like ones I need to look into for myself as well! Enjoy all of the wonderful new reads!
Wow, you had a fabulous mailbox – these all look good to me!!
Great haul! I’ve owned Enemy Women for quite awhile now. I need to read it someday soon!
I’ve wanted to read The Good Thief for so long. 🙂 I somehow always forget to look for it when I’m out shopping. Great mailbox last week. Here’s my Mailbox! ~ Wendi
I also have Enemy Women but I haven’t read it yet. You certainly have your reading cut out for you! Enjoy!
Oh and books for baby! So cute.
I’ve read some mixed reviews on Little Bee but that is one that’s on my shelf to read soon. Enjoy your books!
Dreaming in English looks very good. I see a few new to me titles there that I will have to check out. I hope you enjoy all your new books.
Ooh, you got Half in Love! I hope my copy arrives soon! You got lots of good books this week (including some great-sounding poetry books). I really enjoyed The Opposite of Fate. Happy reading!
Enemy Women sounds interesting! Enjoy all your new books!

I see wonderful titles!
Here is my post!
Wow, you got a lot of books. I’m curious about The Other Life and Dreaming in English.
Happy Reading!
Dreaming in English sounds good. Veil of Roses is on my bookshelf so I’ll read that first and then look for the new book.
The Opposite of Fate and Enemy Women both were good. Looking forward to your thoughts.
Dreaming in English, Haunting Jasmine and a host of good stuff here.
That is a lot of books! I have Little Bee on my shelf and also look forward to Jill Mansell’s book. Enjoy!
I do hope you enjoy your new books, Serena! I really liked Little Bee. And The Good Thief is one I am looking forward to reading.
