Monday Mailbox

A couple of surprises and a couple of books I had forgotten were headed this way made up my mailbox this week. This past week's mailbox arrivals:

Just My Type by Simon Garfield came from Gotham Books thanks to Lisa at TLC Book Tours.
I can't be the only person who reads all the typeface information at the back of published books, right? I am just the sort of geek to whom this kind of stuff appeals and so this book should be perfect for me.

Stiltsville by Susanna Daniel came from Harper Perennial thanks to Trish at TLC Book Tours.
A lovely sounding love story set among homes built on stilts in Miami's Biscayne Bay, just the idea of the houses themselves attracts me. The story of the marriage is an added bonus.

A Good Hard Look by Ann Napolitano came from The Penguin Press thanks to Trish at TLC Book Tours.
I first read Flannery O'Connor in high school (Wise Blood) so this fictionalization of grabbed my attention.

The Gap Year by Sarah Bird came from Knopf thanks to Lisa at TLC Book Tours.
Mothers, daughters, the ever entertaining Sarah Bird, does it get any better?

Stay by Allie Larkin came from Plume.
With that adorable dog on the cover, how could the book not call to me? And the plot sounds fun and charming too.
