Monday Mailbox

Home from my vacation and there was quite a generous stack of books waiting for me. Opening those packages beats the tar out of unpacking any day of the week and twice on Sunday. This past week's mailbox arrivals:

The Color of Tea by Hannah Tunnicliffe came from Scribner.
I've already reviewed it here.

The Black Isle by Sandi Tan came from Grand Central Publishing.
I do have a very obvious fondness for books set in East Asia so this novel about a Chinese girl who can see ghosts on Black Isle should capitalize on that interest.

Imperfect Bliss by Susan Fales-Hill came from Atria.
A modern set sort of Pride and Prejudice complete with a reality tv show? Oh my! Be still my beating heart.

Following Atticus by Tom Ryan came from Morrow and TLC Book Tours for a blog tour.
Inspired by the death of a friend, Ryan decides to climb mountains with his miniature schnauzer at his side to raise money for charity. As the mother of two schnauzers myself, how could I not be interested in this book (although neither of my two couch ornaments would be likely to climb mountains)?

The Bride Wore Pearls by Liz Carlyle came from Avon Books and TLC Book Tours for a blog tour.
I don't know why exactly but I do love romances that have secret societies within their pages. So I'm looking forward to this one.

Ten Girls to Watch by Charity Shumway came from Washington Square Press.
A young woman who is on the cusp of her whole life lands a job writing an article about the previous winners of a magazine Ten Girls to Watch contest and finds herself a whole load of role models. Sounds totally delectable, doesn't it?
