Mailbox Monday ~ August 23rd
Mailbox Monday is touring through blogs in the upcoming months. In August it will be hosted by Chick Loves Lit.
Mailbox Monday was created by The Printed Page. It is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their home last week.

In my mailbox last week:
A copy of Still Missing by Chevy Stevens from a Blogoversary Giveaway at The Crowded Leaf.
On the day she was abducted, Annie O’Sullivan, a thirty-two year old Realtor, had three goals—sell a house, forget about a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever- patient boyfriend. The open house is slow, but when her last visitor of the day pulls up in a van as she’s about to leave, Annie thinks it just might be her lucky day after all.
Interwoven with the story of the year Annie spent captive of a sadistic psychopath in a remote mountain cabin, which unfolds through sessions with her psychiatrist, is a second narrative recounting events following her escape—her struggle to piece her shattered spirit back together and the ongoing police investigation into the identity of her captor.
An ARC of The Wake of Forgiveness by Bruce Machart from Barnes & Noble’s First Look Reviewer group.
Reminiscent of Kent Haruf’s portrayals of hope amidst human heartbreak and Cormac McCarthy’s finely hewn evocations of the American Southwest, Bruce Machart’s striking debut is as well wrought as it is riveting. It compels us to consider the inescapable connections between sons and their mothers, between landscape and family, and between remembrance and redemption.

It’s a little outside my usual genre choices, but I thought I’d try something different and I get to be part of the group think discussion on Barnes & Noble’s book forum.

I’m waiting very impatiently for the library to get Still Missing. I also received the First Look book. It should be a good one to discuss. The trailer is riveting!
