Mailbox Monday ~ October 4th

Mailbox Monday is touring through blogs. For the month of October it will be hosted by She Reads and Reads. Next month the tour moves to Knitting and Sundries where it will be hosted for the month of November.

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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New books in my mailbox last week:

A copy of The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks, and Giants of the Ocean by Susan Casey for review from Doubleday:

For centuries, mariners have spun tales of gargantuan waves, 100-feet high or taller. Until recently scientists dis­missed these stories—waves that high would seem to violate the laws of physics. But in the past few decades, as a startling number of ships vanished and new evidence has emerged, oceanographers realized something scary was brewing in the planet’s waters. They found their proof in February 2000, when a British research vessel was trapped in a vortex of impossibly mammoth waves in the North Sea—including several that approached 100 feet.

 

A copy of All I Ever Wanted by Kristan Higgins, a giveaway win from Reading At The Beach:

One happily-ever-after rocking chair… And no sign of any forthcoming babies to rock in ol’ Georgebury, Vermont. For Callie Grey, turning thirty means coming to grips with the fact that her boss (and five-week fling) is way overdue in his marriage proposal. And way off track, because Mark has suddenly announced his engagement to the company’s new Miss Perfect. If that isn’t bad enough, her mom decides to throw her a 3-0 birthday bash in the family funeral home.

Bad goes to worse when she stirs up a relationship with the town’s most eligible — yet not so warm and fuzzy — veterinarian, Ian McFarland, in order to flag Mark’s attention.
