Mailbox Monday - 3/16/15

 
Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. (Library books don’t count, but eBooks & audiobooks do).

Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles, and humongous wish lists!

Mailbox Monday, created by Marcia @ A Girl and Her Books, has a permanent home now at Mailbox Monday.
 *****************
Every week Mailbox Monday will have a new linky posted for our Mailbox Monday links at Marcia's Mailbox Monday blog.

Here’s a shout out to the new administrators:

 Leslie of Under My Apple Tree 
Vicki of I’d Rather Be at the Beach
Serena @ Savvy Verse And Wit 

THANKS to everyone for keeping Mailbox Monday alive.
***************
I hope you had a good mailbox.

My mailbox was very lean, but I am happy!!
*************** 
On Wednesday, March 11, I received: 

1.  WILDWOOD by Posie Graeme-Evans courtesy of Kathryn Santora of Simon & Schuster. 

I LOVED her book, THE ISLAND HOUSE.  
 

Isn't the cover amazing?  

I started the book, but not really getting into it.  I hope it picks up.  Totally different from The Island House.


***************
How about your mailbox?   

 Any titles in your mailbox that you were excited about seeing?

    The historical setting sounds interesting... too bad it's a slow start.

      It was something I thought I was going to love because of how much I liked The Island House, but it was too different.

      Thanks for stopping, Leslie.

    Hi Elizabeth,

    As I am a bit late posting my comments this week, I just noticed that you didn't finish the book, which is a real shame.

    I did check it out before I scrolled down to comment and have to admit that this probably isn't one for me either, although if you quite liked the idea of the castle on the cover of Wild Wood, check out the even better cover (in my opinion anyway) for the Kindle version ..

    I hope that your next book is much more to your liking.

    Yvonne

      Thanks as always for your wonderful comments and for stopping, Yvonne.

      It wasn't my cup of tea. :( I was looking forward to it since The Island House was amazing.

      I feel bad telling an author I can't get into their book.

      Thanks for stopping, Laurel.
