Holy Ghost Girl by Donna Johnson came from Gotham Books thanks to Lisa at TLC Book Tours.
The memoir of a woman who grew up on the road with a charismatic and ultimately wildly successful evangelist, this hit my radar for its uniqueness.
Birds of Paradise by Diana Abu-Jaber came from Norton.
I have read and enjoyed Abu-Jaber's previous books and so I'm excited to read this novel about a runaway and the family she left behind.
As always, if you'd like to see the marvelous goodies in other people's mailboxes, make sure to visit The Bluestocking Guide as she is hosting this month's Mailbox Monday and have fun seeing how we are all doing our part to keep the USPS and delivery services viable.
I've noticed both books on several mailbox lists so I'll be watching for blog tours. Hope you enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteHoly Ghost Girl does sound really unique.
ReplyDeleteI just checked out the blurb for Birds of Paradise, it sounds like it is going to be really intense.
I will be watching for your review on both.
I think HOLY GHOST GIRL sounds very interesting. I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts about it. Enjoy your books!
