Matrimony is in my TBR pile, too.
I got a copy of Connie Arnold's book of poetry, "Beautiful Moments of Joy & Peace." I don't read a lot of poetry anthologies, but Connie's stuff is good enough to get me to read a whole book of poetry at one time.
I love, love, love War and Remembrance (and Wouk's other books as well, like Marjorie Morningstar). Library sales are great, aren't they?
Bermudaonion: Looking forward to your review!
Marvin: I've never heard of Connie Anthony, but I'll have to check out her work. Thanks for the recommendation!
Michele: I'm so glad to hear you liked the book. At over a 1,000 pages, I was a bit worried about it. Library sales rock!
These are the ones I have, but I got them ages ago...They will get read!
Conscience Point by Erica Abeel (from Library Thing)
The Sighing of the Winter Trees by Laura Grossman (from the author for a virtual book tour next month)
Matrimony by Joshua Henkin
Serena: Great! More books for us to discuss!
Yikes--the only one I've heard of and read is Matrimony...! Look forward to hearing what you think of these.
Anna, what a haul. I'm quite envious of those library book sale finds in particular!
I really want to read Wouk. Can't wait to see what you think!

Thank you for stopping by the 'mailbox' this week. 'Matrimony' is certainly making the rounds of the book blogs.
What a great week of new books!
I hit a used book sale, too. I'll post about it 10/31 in my Friday Finds (I showed great restraint, and only bought 6 books ... at 50 cents each! :) )
I've missed a Paul Watkins book??!! Oh, oh, must find! Thanks for mentioning that one.
Wow, you have a lot of books there. I have Matrimony too. I'll be watching for your reviews of the books dealing with WWII- I always find those interesting.
Trish: I hadn't heard of the books I found at the library sale, so I don't know what to expect!
Shana: I'm intrigued by the Wouk book, but it's over 1,000 pages. I have no idea when I'll get a chance for that one!
Marcia: It certainly is!
Dawn: 6 books at 50 cents! You went all out! ;)
Bookfool: I take it your a fan of his. I've never heard of him. I'm hoping it's good.
Dar: They might take me awhile, but I'll tackle them eventually!
