Welcome to my fourth and final week of hosting Mailbox Monday during the month of July. Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at A Girl and Her Books (f/k/a: The Printed Page). I've enjoyed playing hostess and I've tried to visit everyone who posted. My sister and I have been recovering from pneumonia (can you believe it?!!) and my nephew from bronchitus, so I'm a little behind in postings, but I'll catch up over the next few days. Thank you to everyone who stopped by this month. Next month, your host for Mailbox Monday will be Staci at Life in the Thumb. Be sure and stop by with your mailbox news.
If you'd like to join in, leave a link or a comment and tell us . . .
What's in your mailbox?

Great haul!The Paris Wife sounds good. Enjoy!
The title for You DOn't Sweat Much for A Fat Girl had me laughing. What in the world?? Going to look that one up now.
Nice haul & enjoy the reads :)
Thank you for hosting July 2011!
Looks like you got some good books...the Paris Wife caught my eye from your list.
Happy reading and thanks for hosting this month.
A Paris Wife has been on my list for a while now. Will wait to see what you too think of this one.
What a great mailbox week; I'm looking forward to The Paris Wife myself.
I'm sorry you haven't been well, Gwendolyn. You got a really nice mailbox this week. I'd love to know what you think of Burnt Mountain. I really like Anne's books. Celia Rivenbark is a riot! Her new book looks like fun. Enjoy your new reads and have a great week.
Hope you are feeling better and on the road to recovery. Quite a nice mailbox. My MM is here
I'm jealous of Burnt Mountain! I got You Don't Sweat Much for a Fat Girl too. Enjoy your new books.
Great titles! Enjoy your latest reads. :-)
Hope you feel better soon! At least you have some great-sounding books to keep you occupied. ;)
Where did that title come from - 'you don't sweat much for a fat girl' (although Robbie Williams has a line in Rudebox that's similar)?! It will certainly get people to look at the book!
Take care of yourself and stay warm. Thanks for the giveaway, hope you've had fun hosting.
I have been wanting to read A Paris Wife, hope you enjoy it!
The Paris Wife interests me... Happy reading
I just saw You Don't Sweat Much on another blog and this is the first I've been seeing it. I hope you enjoy your books!
Coming Up For Air was in my mailbox and I really enjoyed The Paris Wife. Thanks for hosting MM in July!

What a wonderful mailbos! You Don't Sweat Much for a Fat Girl ... I can see some dweeb having the nerve to say that to someone! The Paris Wife is on my wishlist! Enjoy them all and thank you so much for hosting in July!
I hope both you AND your sister AND your nephew all get better quickly! (That sucks, being sick like that ANYtime, but especially in the summer!)
I've been wanting to read The Paris Wife, I love the cover for it! Hope you enjoy it :)
Hope you feel better soon! It's no fun to be sick in the summer, as if it's fun any time of year :(

Love the cover on the Paris Wife book. I'm going to have to find that one.
I am giving away the book I got last week. It is a graphic novel about the Oregon Trail. Looks like a perfect summer read for any kid into pioneers, adventure, etc.
Details on my MM post.
