Mailbox Monday is a weekly meme hosted by Printed Page. If you’re eager to tell the rest of the book blogging world about the wonderful books you’ve received this week, click over and share your link.
I received a surprise package in the mail from Andrea, who blogs at Atypicalife. Andrea’s blog was one of the first I read. She’s one of my dearest online friends and she and her husband run Homeschool Journal, where my personal blog, Mommy Brain, is hosted. The surprise package included the following two books:

Twelve Sharp by Janet Evanovich

Full Scoop by Janet Evanovich & Charlotte Hughes

Sacred Hearts by Sarah Dunant – This is an ARC from Shelf Awareness.

The Chosen One by Carol Lynch Williams – I won this one in a giveaway from Reviewer X.

Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen – I bought this with my coupon from Glyde, and it arrived very quickly. (Remember, if you haven’t already used it, you can get $5 off your first purchase by entering the coupon code “BooksandMovies” at checkout.)

Transforming Grace by Jerry Bridges – this was a gift from my lovely sister, Marni.

Sacred Hearts sounds good to me!

Sarah Dunants is one I am excited about. I hope to read that one someday. I read one of her earlier books and loved it. Garden Spells is another one I’m looking forward to reading. Enjoy your new books!

LF- thanks.
I have Sacred Hearts and The Chosen One on my ARC-alanche pile. I’ll be getting to Chosen around the beginning of July, and I’ll have a giveaway for 3 copies. After reading The 19th Wife, I’m really piqued about the premise of the book.
