So excited to JUST NOW pull this out of my mailbox! Thanks Nancy!!
And I was able to pick this one up from the library last Thursday for my book club read and I’m half way through already:
I’m finding it quite depressing.
Mailbox Monday for February is hosted by MetroReader.

Too bad Model Home is depressing – it sounds good! I’m very excited about The World We Found.
Yea, it might be depressing but I do want to know what happens! Will prolly finish today.
I’ve not read any Thrity Umrigar; her name is fun to say outloud.
Sorry you are reading a depressing read. That’s not fun. Hopefully your next read will be better!
I’m also listening to BossyPants by Tina Fey so I have something to make me laugh, too.
nice! i hope you enjoy it!
Hi Marie! I always enjoy books in the house.
I’ve heard good things about The World We Found. Hope you enjoy it.
It reminds me of a book our club read last year but I’m sure this one is much more ‘cerebral’. I guess I will have to read to find out.
Oh these both look good to me!
Apparently Model Home was in the 2010 Tournament of Books; if I knew that, I forgot. But it will count for the What’s in a Name 5 challenge.
Happy reading! I think I’ll pass on Model Home.
Sure, go dive into 1Q84 instead.
Ooooh…I have the World We Found on my wish list!! Can’t wait to hear about what you think of it!!
OK! I don’t know *when* I will get to it; I have a long crowded list of must-reads this Spring. I will need to make sure it doesn’t get buried. I have two other excellent books that Nancy gave me that are miffed that I brought another stray in.
LOL I want to see books in a huff.
I keep thinking I will start Fire Season “next” and then some other book crowds onto my lap.
I tend to gravitate toward depressing stories for some reason, so I’m looking forward to your thoughts on Model Home. Have a great week!
I finished it today; review tomorrow (maybe).
I’m curious about Model Home now. And I cannot look at that first book without getting fixated on the author’s first name … which I always make into “Thrifty.”
Me, too. It’s fun to say but it stops me. It takes a bit of concentration?
I hope The World We Found will prove better. And as I said to my family today, I like my Kindle, but buying e-books is not quite the same as waiting for the postman
I know! I need to hold and touch and pick up and SEE on the shelf or table top or… I need a book’s physical presence. My ebooks are so quickly forgotten.
You’re welcome.
