Ooh – it was a good mailbox week! Good in the sense that the books were plentiful and some excellent titles passed through my fingers.
Ready to see what there was? Me too!
Shadow of Tears by Ole Dammegard is sent to me from the author. This book is a true story about friendship and an escape from Iran. Yeah – I know, pretty cool sounding! Oh, and it is signed too!
Freddie Girl by Nona David… doesnt this one just look fun? I am always up for a little YA reading! Thank you to Joan from Bernards Book Publishing for this one.
Flesh and Fire by Laura Anne Gilman. Smoking cover. Seriously. Look at it. This is book one of the Vineart War. Pocket Books sent this one my way for review.
Over The Holidays by Sandra Harper popped in my mailbox on Friday. I received this too late to do the review I was scheduled to do this past Wednesday so I will get to this one yet this week and have it posted. Doesn’t it look fun? Another read from Pocket Books.
The Bible Salesman by Clyde Edgeton and Life After Genius by M. Ann Jacoby are both review books from Hachette Book Group. They both sound wonderful! I will be posting a giveaway for Life After Genius before I leave at the end of the week.
The Laceyville Monkeys by Harriett Ruderman looks so fun! I will try to dig into this one as well this week. This one is from Bostick Communications.
100 Books For Girls To Grow On by Shireen Dodson, The Readers Choice by Victoria Golden McMains, The Mother Daughter Book Club by Shireen Dodson, and How To Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C Foster all came in for review by Harper Collins Publishers. Don’t they look fabulous? The books about books are driving me crazy… I want to touch them and dig right in! The book on how to read like a Professor? Well hello! What if I actually learn something? 🙂
Secrets Of The Christmas Box by Steven Hornby is this cute looking hard cover read that makes me think of snowy nights of hot cocoa and candy canes. Thank you to Ecky Thump Books for my review copy!
Soul Catcher by Leigh Bridger looks like an upbeat change of pace book for me. Cant wait to jump into the pages! Thank you to Bell Bridge Books for my review copy.
And finally – see this letter? It is from Michelle Moran, author of Cleopatra’s Daughter which I reviewed recently. She thanked me for the review and sent along this authentic coin from Ancient Rome! Very cool… letter and coin will be kept with the book.
So thats my mailbox. Lots of great things to read! I would love to hear about what you got as well! Hop, skip, jump, and click your way over to Kristi at Story Siren and add your post to her linky. That way we can all visit and snoop in your mailbox! 😉
Book Journey 
Wow! Captivating (even dizzying!) slideshow, Sheila. Can’t wait to learn more about these books.
Hi Laurel – LOL!
Looks like a great book week! I am almost done reading Flesh and Fire and enjoying it!
I will watch for your review Zia! 🙂
My review will be up tomorrow. I enjoyed it but I had some dislikes about it.
You were right, the cover and Flesh and Fire is great!
Ryan, it was the hit of the week I think… going through all the books that cover was like “BANG!” 🙂
Another great mailbox for you! And how cool is it that the author wrote you a thank you letter for your review and sent a Roman coin? Very cool! Enjoy your week!
ALexia561, yeah a roman coin as the book is set in Rome. its pretty cool. I am keeping it with the book. 🙂
I haven’t read anything you got in your mailbox. I’ll be looking forward to your reviews.
Thanks Debbie! I am excited to dig into these
