Monday Mailbox

  I love seeing what odd couple combinations arrive at my house in the same week.  This week shows why. This past week's mailbox arrivals:

The Tusk That Did the Damage by Tania James came from Knopf and TLC Book Tours for a blog tour.

Elephants are fascinating creatures and this book that tells the story of poachers, a documentary filmmaker, and an escaped elephant who kills and then buries people looks fantastically good.

The Awakening of Miss Prim by Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera came from me for myself.

A book about an educated young woman who decides to become a private librarian in a French village and the eccentric people she meets there, this looks completely and utterly charming.

If you'd like to see the marvelous goodies in other people's mailboxes, make sure to visit Mailbox Monday and have fun seeing how we are all doing our part to keep the USPS and delivery services viable.

    I love the cover of The Tusk that Did the Damage, I have to find this one. Such gentle creatures, it makes me sad that they are still targeted.

    I see what you mean by being an odd combo. They both look good though. Enjoy both of your new books.

    I was so tempted by Tusk when it was offered, but had to decline. I'm looking forward to seeing whether everyone enjoys it.

    That second book definitely looks charming! The first one interests me - I saw a lot of elephant while on safari in Africa. They are fascinating animals.

    Both of these books are new to me, but they both look like the type I'd really enjoy. Happy reading!
