Mailbox Monday - 1/25/16

 
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.

Friday was a record mailbox day.  :)
***************
On Thursday, January 21, I received:

 1.  THE SILVER WITCH by Paula Brackston, courtesy of Jessica Preeg of St. Martin's Press.

There will be a giveaway on my blog on February 17 in celebration of the paperback release of THE SILVER WITCH.

 

Mark your calendars.  

Isn't that cover gorgeous?

On Friday, January 22, I received:

1.  THE PASSENGER by Lisa Lutz, courtesy of Ebony LaDelle of Simon & Schuster.


 

2.  FLIGHT OF DREAMS by Ariel Lawhon, courtesy of Judy Jacoby of Penguin Random House.


I really enjoyed Ms. Lawhon's other book, THE WIFE, THE MAID, AND THE MISTRESS.

3.  THE CHARM BRACELET by Viola Shipman, courtesy of Shelf Awareness and St. Martin's Press.  It was a contest win.

How about your mailbox?

    1. There seems to be two books with the same name but different authors.

      I keep seeing the other book with the boat on the cover.

      Thanks for stopping, Deborah.

    2. Hi Elizabeth and Deborah,

      Check out the alternative cover art I found for the Lisa Lutz book, spooky or what?

    1. I think it is a series, Mary.

      I believe it is set in Celtic times. It has magic and paranormal traits.

      Thanks for stopping, Mary.

  6. Hi Elizabeth,

    As you might have gathered 'The Passenger' is at the top of my reading list from your selection this week, although I am intrigued by 'The Charm Bracelet' - I might wait for your reviews of both before making my decision.

    Hope you are well and enjoy your week :)

    1. The Passenger does look good.

      The Charm Bracelet was one I turned down, and then all of a sudden I won a copy. LOL!!

  14. Nice week. The Passenger and Flight of Dreams are both on my eager-to-read list. I got turned down for a galley of Flight of Dreams, so I'll just have to wait for the audio!

    1. I actually asked the publisher for a copy of Flight of Dreams. :)

      They graciously sent me a copy. I loved Ms. Lawhon's other book.

      Thanks for stopping, Leslie.

    2. I asked on NetGalley which is always hit or miss as you can't include a letter with the request. No problem though, I'll just wait for the audio.

      Delete

    3. Ok.

      Audio should be good.

      Thanks for your reply, Leslie.
