Mailbox Monday is here once again! Thanks to Marcia at The Printed Page for hosting this wonderful meme where we get to see what lands in everyone’s mailboxes during the week.

Here’s what I got in my mailbox; It was more than I expected:

From SantaThing:

1. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield, which I presume was picked because I mentioned that I wanted to branch out into fantasy reading more.

2. The Odyssey by Homer, which I’m not sure why this was selected given that I noted I would love to read more contemporary poetry. I have read Homer’s Odyssey many times, and I doubt I’ll be reading this again anytime soon.

3. Now Silence by Tori Warner Shepard, which I received from the author and will be reading during the WWII reading challenge.

4. The Kingmaking by Helen Hollick, which is an ARC I received from Paul Samuelson at Sourcebooks. It’s a big one at nearly 600 pages, so lets hope this one keeps my attention long enough for a March review.

5. Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay, which I purchased at Target shortly after Christmas. I couldn’t resist this best-seller. I’ve heard so many great reviews of this book, I just had to have it.

6. A Dangerous Affair by Caro Peacock is my first book from the Harper Collins’ First Look program. I’m bit annoyed that I have less than a month to review it, especially since many of the others I’ve seen have at least until the first of the next month. This book is slated for release on 1/27/09.

7. The Scent of Sake by Joyce Lebra is another book I received from Harper Collins’ First Look program. It’s interesting that I only got one email about getting a First Look book and it wasn’t this one. This book is slated for release 2/17/09. I probably won’t be reviewing this one until near the end of January.

***Today’s the last day for a chance to win Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips! The Gods Behaving Badly Contest, which runs through January 5 at Midnight EST.***

Welcome to my 10th edition of Mailbox Monday, sponsored by Marcia at The Printed Page. Ok, it’s on a Sunday again.

Here’s what I got in my mailbox before the Christmas holiday:

1. Little Giant of Aberdeen County by Tiffany Baker, which I won at A Circle of Books. Thanks Toni and Mariam at Hatchette Group.

2. The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb, which I received for the next Book Club Girl on January 27 at 7PM. I had no idea that this would a signed first edition volume. I was tickled pink when it came in the mail.

The Bookish gifts I received over the holidays:

3. The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry, which Anna at Diary of an Eccentric got me. I’ve heard so many great things about this book, and I even got a copy for Suey on her birthday, though I hadn’t read it or owned it yet. I can’t wait to dive on in.

4. The Rest of Her Life by Laura Moriarty, which came from Anna as well. This one is an audio book, which will be great for those commutes into work with the hubby.

5. Mystic River by Dennis Lehane, which came from Carrie at Care’s Online Book Club through the Book Bloggers Christmas Swap 2008, sponsored by Nymeth and Dewey. This book has been on my to-read list for a while.

6. The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith, which also came from Carrie, my Secret Santa. This is another of those books that has been on my to-read list. I can’t wait to dig into this one.

This is the first Mailbox Monday that will actually appear on a Monday! Amazing. No tours for me this week! But here’s what I got in the mail over the past week. There are some great ones in here. Mailbox Monday is sponsored by Marcia at The Printed Page.

From Hatchette Group! Thanks Valerie. Check back for a review and giveaway of this novel.

I won a copy of this much-talked-about novel from Anna at Diary of an Eccentric. The author, David Ebershoff, sent the novel to me via priority mail, which was certainly unexpected.

I received this novel from Danielle Jackson at Sourcebooks. I cannot wait to read this one. It did really well in the United Kingdom.

I recently received this book from Minibook Expo. Another WWII novel. I cannot wait to read this one.

***Reminder***

Don’t forget my contest for the writing guide Grit for the Oyster. You have two chances to enter: the review and the guest post

Deadline is December 1, Midnight EST.
