Happy Monday Morning! What arrived in YOUR mailbox this week? Mine was not as busy as other weeks, but I’m not complaining. Matthew Boyd from the Penguin Group sent me a Uncorrected Proof of this book
The School of Essential Ingredients, by Erica Bauermeister. The back cover reads: ‘A gorgously written first novel about the evocative lessons that food can teach us about life.‘ I love food. I love cooking. I hope I will love this novel. Thanks, Matthew!

This looks like a good one. I got it a few weeks ago. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
You lucky girl! I tried to get a copy of this book and they ran out of copies!! Looking forward to your review.
I should have done Mailbox Monday this week. I got a nice haul the last few days…
You went for quality over quantity. I can’t wait to read that book.
Sounds interesting, can’t wait to see your review. Are you doing the Books About Food Challenge? Because it sure would work.
My MM is here
I love food and I love reading about OTHER people cooking it!! I really like the cover. Can’t wait to hear what you think about it.
I just finished this book. I should have my review up tomorrow. I loved it! I hope you do too.
I adored this book, and reviewed it here:

I don’t think I’ve ever read a book that features food. I look forward to your review. My MMm is up.
Amy: I’ll also look forward to reading YOUR thoughts
Bonnie: Oh, I’m sorry you didn’t get a copy
Kailana: It is never too late
Kathy: *laughs* yes, you could say that!
Callista: I am trying not to join too many challenges this year. I have so many books on my piles that fit just about every challenge – but it is the organizing of them that overwhelmed me in 2008 (stop tempting me!!!)
Staci: *laughs* yes, all the same reasons I said YES when asked if I wanted a copy!
Darlene: Oh, so glad you liked it!
Carrie: And another person who loved it!
Sandra: I love foodie books
Hmm, I’m jealous you got that book! (I requested it too, but only got a consolation email from Matthew.) Looking forward to your review!
My Mailbox Monday post is here.
Thank you for stopping by the ‘mailbox’ this week. Enjoy your book! It sure is pretty to look at.
Avisannschild: Sorry to hear you didn’t snag the book
Marcia: Thank YOU! It is pretty book!
