Mailbox Monday for March 6

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at The Printed Page. It is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. I'm Booking It will be hosting for the month of March. You can view the touring blog list at Mailbox Monday blog for the upcoming months.

The winner of last week's Mailbox Monday YA Book Package is: Donna@Bookbound
Congratulations! (Winner chosen with Random.org)

This is what I got in my mailbox last week:

The Lovely Shoes by Susan Shreve (from Scholastic)

Can the right pair of shoes make anyone feel beautiful? Franny is constantly embarrassed by two things in her life. One is her right foot, which curls in from a birth defect, so she has to wear ugly, heavy orthopedic shoes. And the other is her mother Margaret: beautiful, extravagant, flamboyant -- mortifying, in their small Ohio town. Franny's first school dance is a disaster, so Margaret announces her latest crazy plan: They will travel to Italy to meet Salvatore Ferragamo, who will sculpt a pair of slippers especially for Franny. The idea is outrageous. The trip is expensive. And the experience changes Franny's life forever.



Joy For Beginners by Erica Bauermeister (from TLC Book Tours)

At an intimate, festive dinner party in Seattle, six women gather to celebrate their friend Kate's recovery from cancer. Wineglass in hand, Kate strikes a bargain with them. To celebrate her new lease on life, she'll do the one thing that's always terrified her: white-water rafting. But if she goes, all of them will also do something they always swore they'd never do-and Kate is going to choose their adventures. Shimmering with warmth, wit, and insight, Joy for Beginners is a celebration of life: unexpected, lyrical, and deeply satisfying.

So what did you get in your mailbox last week?
