Welcome to another edition of Mailbox Monday hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page. Please visit her post today to leave a link to YOUR post! Here is what arrived at my house last week:
The Wish Maker, by Ali Sethi came to me from Riverhead Books through a Shelf Awareness offer. Although my TBR review books are out of control, I could not resist this one. The book flap reads: ‘A family in contemporary Pakistan contends with the nation’s political and social turbulence as those great shifts mirror changes in their own lives, in this brilliant, enthralling debut by a stunning new international voice.‘ The Wish Maker is due for release in June. Read this opinion piece by the author published in the Daily Times in December 2007. Read more about the book at the Penguin site.
Follow Me by Joanna Scott arrived as a finished copy from Miriam at Little Brown and Co. Wait, you say, didn’t you already get this book a few weeks ago? Yes, I did – I got an ARC of the book. And now that I have a finished hard cover my ARC will be up for grabs at the end of the month. Watch for a giveaway of this book and two others by Joanna Scott the last week in April. Thanks, Miriam!

I got The Wish Maker too. It’s good that it doesn’t come out until June since I don’t have time for it right now but I so want to jump into it immediately!
My mailbox is here.
I also got follow me this week!
I got The Wish Maker also, and I’ve heard good things so far about Follow Me.
Kathrin: I’m heading over to look at yours right now!
Kristen: I am so far behind in reviews it is really unacceptable
Serena: It looks good, doesn’t it?
Alyce: They both look wonderful.
I was definitely Not going to accept any more ARCs and then like you The Wish Maker came along and I had to read it. Glad we have a bit of time!
They look good. Enjoy!
I received a hardcover Follow Me, too. I can’t wait to read it, and I’m looking forward to your review. It sounds like a great book.
Tara: I am too!
Mary: Thanks, I will
Anna: I’ve seen a couple of reviews that were great…I’m anticipating a good read
I requested a copy of The Wish Maker – hopefully I will get one!
Kristi: I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Thank you for stopping by the mailbox this week. We share ‘The Wish Maker’. Enjoy your books!
