Thanks for joining me for Mailbox Monday! MM was created by Marcia at A girl and her books (fka The Printed Page), who graciously hosted it for a long, long time, before turning it into a touring meme (details here).
Alyce at At Home With Books is hosting in January. Please stop by her wonderful blog!
I got a stack of books last week:
Wild in the City: Exploring the Intertwine: The Portland-Vancouver Region's Network of Parks, Trails, and Natural Areas by Michael C. Houck and M. J. Cody (a good inspiration to get out there and do some hiking; from OSU Press)
Light on the Devils: Coming of Age on the Klamath by Louise Wagenknecht (from OSU Press and a good pick for the Memorable Memoirs challenge)
Just My Type: A Book About Fonts by Simon Garfield (thanks go to Amused By Books because I won this in her December giveaway)
I got a stack of books from Second Glance Books to fill in a couple Santa forgot to bring:
Death at the President's Lodging by Michael Innes (a new to me author; this is the first in his Inspector Appleby series and perfect for the Vintage Mystery challenge)
A Comedy of Terrors by Michael Innes (the 6th Appleby mystery)
Arthur & George by Julian Barnes
My Life As a Man by Philip Roth
She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith (in a nice, but very plain, boxed edition with illustrations; this will be my "classic play" choice for the Back to the Classics challenge; it is on the Easton Press Greatest 100 list)
I hope that you enjoy! all of your books.

Wow, you got lots of new to me books! Glad the font book arrived safely! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)
ReplyDeleteLight on the Devils looks fantastic! I grew up in a family of sawmill workers, so I'd be curious to see what our experiences had in common.
ReplyDeleteJust My Type looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all your new books!
Looks like a nice variety of books. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI think I won Just My Type somewhere too. I need to investigate that. Enjoy your new books!
