Wow….I’m so jealous of your mailbox and even more with the contents in it! I love receiving books in the mail too. It can certainly brighten up my day.

Love your mailbox, Dawn! I bought one that size to replace the dinky one we had. I used to sell things on eBay, and now with Paperback Swap, I need that extra room. You received quite a haul of books last week. We’ll have to compare notes on Blonde Roots.

Amy – the previous homeowners were responsible for that mailbox … I don’t know what kinds of big things they had delivered!

Kathy – it is fun to see the trends of what everyone is getting.

Wendy – “so many great books, so little free time!”

Serena – to see the week’s incoming book in one post is a bit daunting!

Memory – I look forward to the mail every day – those Monday holidays are tough, with no mail 2 days in a row (giving us a taste of your delivery schedule)

Lauren – and I think that all refers to ONE person!

Shana – It looks great (I love personal memoir), bu don’t sit by your computer waiting for me to post the review – it won’t be published until March, so it’s not in my ‘hot’ pile.

Nicole – yup! I have columns for title, author, source, publisher, date of contact/request, date received, date of publication, and date my review was posted. Here’s the true OCD part – the rows show up in red if the book is not yet published, and green once I’ve posted the review. I can sort the heck out of it, so I can pull books rec’d in a particular date range, or pending reviews for a particular publisher. Am I organized or compulsive?

how do you keep track of all the books, requests, and reviews? do you have a master excel sheet?

What a nice mailbox monday!!! I’d love to read this one:

I’m Sorry You Feel That Way: The Astounding True Story of a Daughter, Sister, Slut, Wife, Mother and Friend to Man & Dog

It does have an awesome title!

Great haul! And I’m so very, very jealous of countries that have mail delivery on Saturdays.

Looks like a great list of books.
