In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.
Through her guidelines, your post does not actually have to be named the same and thus my post shall be..."In My Shopping Bag". (just fits with the "foodie" theme a bit better in my humble opinion)
Let's take a peek inside my shopping bag from this past week....

Review
Self Portraits: Fictions by Frederic Tuten
(courtesy of W.W. Norton & Company)
Okay, when I saw this unrequested title show up I thought...what the...?? BUT...after reading the literature sent with the book as well as the inside cover, it might be rather interesting. We shall see....if you want to check it out on your own, it's scheduled for release 09/13/10.
Betti on the High Wire by Lisa Railsback (ARC)
(courtesy of the author herself)
Been looking forward to this one since I heard about it earlier this year....Noonie's Masterpiece was rather enjoyable so there are high hopes for this one....
