First, I would like to congratulate (Bibliophile by the Sea) on winning Where Am I Going by Michelle Cromer from the last Mailbox Monday giveaway.
Stay tuned for the next giveaway later on in the post, but for now, let’s get to this week’s post.
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. Thanks to Amused by Booksfor hosting last month.
As host for this month, I have a couple giveaways planned, but mostly its about sharing books and the love of reading, so I hope in addition to leaving your post links in Mr. Linky that you’ll peek around Savvy Verse & Wit.
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. The Time in Between by Maria Duenas for review (my second copy, look for a giveaway with the review)
2. Twilight The Graphic Novel Volume 2 by Stephenie Meyer and adapted by Young Kim
3. The Giver by Lois Lowry from the library sale for my daughter and myself
4. The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis from the library sale for my daughter

Now, for the giveaway for the week. I’m holding an international giveaway for Waking by Ron Rash. Deadline to enter is Oct. 22, 2011.
I reviewed the book earlier in the month and is my first experience with Rash’s work. Have you read other Ron Rash books, if so which one and should I read it?
I also posted a poem from the collection in the Virtual Poetry Circle.
Please leave a comment if you are interested in this book.
