I've never partcipated in this meme before but I had such a great haul from the library book sale this weekend that I just had to share it and I decided this was the perfect forum!
Here's what we have from the bottom up:
The Story of Edgar Sawtelle Saw this one on other blogs - wish I could remember which ones so I could give credit...you know who you are!
Daddy's Little Girl by Mary Higgins Clark One I don't have from one of my favorite authors.
Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris
One Thousand White Women Just saw a review of this one but, again, can't remember where!
Fortune's Rocks by Anita Shreve
Possible Side Effects by Augusten Burroughs I've enjoyed the two books I have read already - Running with Scissors and Dry.
The Faith Club and Abraham by Bruce Feiler Abraham is a reread for me but I liked the idea of reading these two together. I loved Abraham when I read it but then never could get into his other big book, Walking the Bible. I had given away my copy of Abraham after I reda it so I was happy to find this one. First I found it for four dollars and then about six inches down the row, I found it again for just one dollar - even better! I love how the prices can be so different depending on which volunteer did it!Amy and Isabelle by Elizabeth Strout Another blog find that I can't remember where to give credit to...
Body Surfing by Anita Shreve Love Anita Shreve - usually.
The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion Again with the "saw it on a blog" but " can't remember where".
Good Dog, Stay by Anna Quindlen I'm not sure about this one - looks like a gift book you buy at the drugstore when you don't have a present. I'll hope for the best.

Welcome to Mailbox Monday! You may find yourself addicted to hopping around at other blogs to check out their books like I do.
It looks like you scored at the library sale. Years ago I read The Year of Magical Thinking and had to read it twice to fully appreciate. Hope you enjoy your books.

Nice list. My daughter read Fortune's Rocks and liked it. It's on my TBR list - along with about a zillion other titles : )
Wow, you did find some great books. The reviews for Edgar Sawtelle have been all over the place, but I'd still like to read it.
Welcome to Mailbox Monday- this is a really fun meme with lots of wonderful people! Looks like you received a bunch of great books last week.
