Monday Mailbox

We came home to several parcels in the mail, a few of which (surprise!) had books. I wonder if I should change the lyrics to the Twelve Days of Christmas to reflect all the books that have been sent given to me. ;-) This past week's mailbox arrivals:

My Father's Wives by Mike Greenberg came from William Morrow and TLC Book Tours for a blog tour.

A novel about a man searching out his father's five ex-wives in an effort to understand the hole that his father's absence has left in his own life, this sounds fascinating indeed.

Girl Runner by Carrie Snyder came from Harper and TLC Book Tours for a blog tour.

As we age and become frail, our past achievements are often all but forgotten so this book about a gold medal winning woman, now elderly and whose amazing accomplishment is mostly lost to time, is incredibly appealing to me.

The Girls of Mischief Bay by Susan Mallery came from MIRA and TLC Book Tours for a blog tour.

Susan Mallery with a new series about three very different female friends and what they want out of their lives, especially personally? Well, yes please!

Aging With Grace by David Snowdon came from me to myself thanks to Christmas gift cards.

I am completely curious to read this book length study about nuns and Alzheimer's and the conclusions we can draw from the lives of these elderly women who have devoted themselves to caring for others.

The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion came from me to myself thanks to Christmas gift cards.

I loved The Rosie Project and can't wait to get back to Don and Rosie.

Liam's Going by Michael Joyce came from me to myself thanks to Christmas gift cards.

Not only does the cover draw me in (water and boat=I'm a sucker) but the story of a child leaving for college for the first time is going to hit very close to home.

Peace Like a River by Carrie Leif Enger came from Melinda.

I'm participating in a Postal Mailbox Book Club and this is Melinda's choice for all of us to read. (I read this many, many years ago but will probably have to at least skim over it again to refresh my memory to make comments on it.)
