Monday Mailbox

Only one book this past week. Think that'll help me catch up on the backlog? Nah...me either. But it's a nice thought anyway! This past week's mailbox arrival:

Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven by Susan Jane Gilman came from Miriam at Hachette for a book tour.
I have drooled over this memoir of Gilman and a friend's desire to trek around the world starting in China since it came out in hardback. It didn't hurt that I thought her Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress was darn funny too. I have big expectations for this.

As always, if you'd like to see the marvelous goodies in other people's mailboxes, make sure to visit Marcia at The Printed Page and enjoy seeing how we are all doing our part to keep the USPS and delivery services viable.

    catch up? What is catch up? I think I need to let that aspiration go . . .

    I, too, am doing the blog tour for Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven and am looking forward to it!

    Enjoy!

    I can't seem to catch up either! I read this arc and really liked it. I wasn't sure I would from the description but it was really interesting. I like this cover better too. Enjoy and good luck!!

    I like the paperback cover better than the hard back. It's cool.

    I haven't read this one, but it looks like lots of people got it this week. I look forward to your review.
