Mailbox Monday - 9/12/16

 
Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week.

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.

On Tuesday, September 6, I received:

 1.  THE VELVET HOURS by Alyson Richman, courtesy of Danielle Dill of Penguin Random House.

LOVED this book...I finished it on Saturday.

Review coming up soon.

    1. I did love it.

      It is the story of a Belle Epoque courtesean whose apartment was untouched for 70 years. Nicely done.

      Thanks for stopping, samstillreading.

      I hope you can find the book.

  2. Nothing new came into my house recently but I have been unpacking my book boxes from a recent move and that is just as exciting and fun!

  8. Hi Elizabeth,

    'The Velvet Hours' has received some excellent ratings and reviews, so I can see why you enjoyed it so much.

    I read quite a lot of historical fiction and always enjoy a storyline told as a series of recounted memories, so this is a definite for my own list!

    Thanks for sharing and I look forward to your review :)

  9. I'm really looking forward to this one. Just need a few hours during the day to sit still and read! I used to read late at night, but now I fall asleep on the couch. :(
