Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of The Printed Page and is now on tour. Kathy at Bermuda Onion is the host of this fun meme for the month of September! According to Marcia, “Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.”
This is what I found in my mailbox last week, all in one shipment, all purchased by me:
People of the Book by Geraldine March (for my book club)
Savvy by Ingrid Law (for my 12 year old daughter)
The following are AR books for my 11 year old daughter (she’s decided Andrew Clements is her favorite author after reading Frindle):
The Landry News by Andrew Clements
The Janitor’s Boy by Andrew Clements
No Talking by Andrew Clements
Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix

Books on the Brain 
Great books. I am very interested in People of the Book!
It looks really good!
See, to each his own! My daughter read Frindle and decided Andrew Clements was her least favorite author. LOL
Hope you both enjoy all your new books!
How funny!! My older daughter read Lunch Money and Extra Credit by Clements and liked those but didn’t bother to read any more of his titles.
I have a copy of People of the Book as well, and haven’t gotten the chance to read it yet. I have heard amazing things about it and I have liked the authors other work. I hope that you and your daughter enjoy all your new books!
Thanks, Heather! The only other thing I’ve read by Geraldine Brooks is Year of Wonders, and that was fantastic. Have you read March? That’s another one I hope to get to at some point.
I absolutely LOVE the picture in your post! How creative, I’ve never seen anything like it before! How exciting that your daughter has a love for reading. My son is still just a baby, but I am hoping that if he sees me read a lot, it will be something he’s interested in! Happy Mailbox Monday! 🙂
There’s a bunch of trucks in Europe that are designed to look like you can see the (giant) contents inside.. pretty cool!
Looks like you got some good books! Happy reading!
I buy too much.. we have so many books around here.
Everyone got something to read except your husband! I hope all of the books are wonderful!
He doesn’t read so he doesn’t care!! LOL
Great books! People Of The Book has been on my TBR list forever 🙂
Same here!
My kids and I loved Savvy. And that cover! You want to frame it and hang it.
Oh, good! I guess the character is turning 13, and so is my daughter, so the timing was right. And the cover is gorgeous.
Oh, Savvy is awesome! You should read it too. : )
Oh, good!! Maybe I will!
Wonderful mailbox! Have a great reading week ahead! Here is my Mondays: Mailbox/Where Am I/Musings post.
Great photo! Did you know that there are a couple of libraries, one’s in Kansas City, I think, that actually look like books?!
I’d love to read People of the Book! 🙂
How cool!! I’ll have to look for a picture!
I’ve been meaning to, needing to, read some Geraldine Brooks for years now.
And: Frindle made me want to be a fan of Clements, too (but I haven’t read any others yet).
Year of Wonders was exceptional!
That’s a lot of books and the only one I have heard of is People of the Book. Enjoy your new goodies!
Thanks!!
I have People of the Book on my TBR shelves. Happy reading!
Same to you, Cathy!
Lots of great titles in there! I am curious about People of the Book. Will watch for your review of it. I pulled Among The Hidden off of the kids old bookshelves and hope to get to it someday.
Great mailbox. I love the photo you use! People of the Book sounds interesting. I liked Year of Wonders. Enjoy!!
That’s a great picture! Looks like you got plenty of books in your mailbox. Hope you enjoy reading them all!
My middle one loved Clements and his books were some of the only ones she ever willingly picked up by herself. My middle one also read all of the Peterson Haddix books and loved them.
