Mailbox Monday - 2/6/2017

 
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 administrators:

I hope you had a good mailbox.

On Monday, January 30, I received:

1. THE MOTHER'S PROMISE by Sally Hepworth, courtesy of Katie Bassel of St. Martin's.

I finished reading this book already.  A very emotional read with wonderful characters.

1.  WINDY CITY BLUES by Renee Rosen, courtesy of Ryanne Probst of Penguin Random House.

 
Love her books....looking forward to reading this one - I actually started it.

  2. I'm reading The Mother's Promise now :) The author tackles some emotional subjects in her books, doesn't she? I read her The Things We Keep several weeks ago and loved it.

    1. Yes...very emotional subjects. A bit depressing, but a good book.

      Thanks for stopping, Mary.

      I actually was caught up with all my books for review so it was perfect timing.

      Thanks for stopping, Kathy.

  6. Hi Elizabeth,

    Both new to me authors as regards reading, although I have heard of Sally Hepworth before. This one is definitely heading for my list and you obviously enjoyed it to have finished reading so quickly!

    The Renee Rosen isn't really 'doing it' for me, I'm afraid, as I don't know enough about the music to enjoy the context of the storyline. I do find the racial and social tensions intriguing though.

    Enjoy your reading week and thanks for sharing :)

    1. I wish I knew more about music too, but that isn't taking away from the story.

      There is enough love and other interesting things happening to make a great story line.

      Thanks for stopping, Yvonne.

  11. Windy City Blues looks good. The other probably isn't for me - I tend to avoid "emotional" reads.

    1. I just finished Windy City Blues...very good book as all of her books.

      It was set in Chicago and was about the start of Blues Music.

      Thanks for stopping, Carol.
