Mailbox Monday (July 6)

Mailbox Monday button
I received one book in the mail this week: The Impostor’s Daughter by Laurie Sandell, a graphic memoir sent to me by Hachette. I’ve already read this book twice (!) and will be giving away five copies of it sometime later this month.

I also met up with Cindy, Donna and Tina this weekend (check out the pictures over on Cindy’s blog) and for once came home empty-handed. This is the first time that’s happened since we started meeting up once a month way back in October of last year!

The Impostor's Daughter by Laurie Sandell

What did you find in your mailbox this past week? For other Mailbox Monday posts, head over to Marcia’s blog, The Printed Page.

    I've seen The Impostor's Daughter mentioned a lot lately. Hope it's a good book!

    Your meet ups sound like so much fun! The Impostor's Daughter must be pretty darn good if you've already read it twice!

    You went home with nothing from our meet-up?! Will have to rectify that for next time!

    I read The Impostor's Daughter right when I received it. It was hard to put down. :)

    Mary and Kathy, yup, I loved it!

    Donna, no worries, I still have heaps of books you've given me that I haven't started yet!

    Wisteria, be sure to come back for my giveaway!

    Staci, this was the first time I read a graphic memoir, but I'm keen to read others. I want to read Fun Home by Alison Bechdel next. Can you recommend any others?

    Pam, I hope you manage to get your hands on a copy!

    Alyce, yeah, that's exactly what I did. (And then I picked it up and reread it over the next two days!)

    No pressure, Cindy! As I said to Donna, I've still got LOTS of other books to read.

    Tiina, they are! It's been really fun to get to know other bloggers face to face.
