Mailbox Monday ~ September 20th
Mailbox Monday is touring through blogs. In September it is hosted by Bermudaonion’s Weblog.
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 The Tower, The Zoo and The Tortoise by Julia Stuart from Doubleday for review. I’m excited about this one and putting it next on my TBR pile.
Brimming with charm and whimsy, this exquisite novel set in the Tower of London has the transportive qualities and delightful magic of the contemporary classics Chocolat and Amélie.
Balthazar Jones has lived in the Tower of London with his loving wife, Hebe, and his 120-year-old pet tortoise for the past eight years. That’s right, he is a Beefeater (they really do live there). It’s no easy job living and working in the tourist attraction in present-day London.
A copy of The Great Typo Hunt by Jeff Deck and Benjamin D. Herson, a win from Read It Forward.
The world needed a hero, but how would an editor with no off-switch answer the call? For Jeff Deck, the writing was literally on the wall: “NO TRESSPASSING.” In that moment, his greater purpose became clear. Dark hordes of typos had descended upon civilization… and only he could wield the marker to defeat them.
Recruiting his friend Benjamin and other valiant companions, he created the Typo Eradication Advancement League (TEAL). Armed with markers, chalk, and correction fluid, they circumnavigated America, righting the glaring errors displayed in grocery stores, museums, malls, restaurants, mini-golf courses, beaches, and even a national park.
