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:
Keeper: One House, Three Generations, and a Journey into Alzheimer’s by Andrea Gillies from Read It Forward.
Five years ago, Andrea Gillies— writer, wife, and mother of three—seeing that her husband’s parents were struggling to cope, invited them to move in. She and her=” newly extended family relocated to a big Victorian house on a remote, windswept peninsula in the far north of Scotland, leaving behind their friends and all that was familiar; hoping to find a new life, and new inspiration for work.
Vienna Secrets by Frank Tallis a win from Murder, Mystery and Mayhem.
Vienna 1903. Outside one of the cities most splendid baroque churches the decapitated body of a monk is found. Shortly after, the remains of a municipal councillor are discovered in the grounds of another church – his head also ripped from his body. It transpires that both men were rabid anti-semites and suspicions fall on Vienna’s close-knit community of Hassidic Jews. In a city riven by racial tensions and extremism, the situation is potentially explosive. Detective Inspector Rheinhardt turns to his trusted friend, the young psychoanalyst Doctor Max Liebermann, for assistance.

I’m curious about Keeper. Prodigal Summer is actually my least favourite of Kingsolver’s novels, although I enjoyed it anyway. (I love all her books.) I should probably reread it to see if I’d like it more now. Enjoy all your books!

A lot of those books look quite interesting to me. Not that I’m familiar with them but by the title so will wait for your reviews to see if they go on my tbr bucket list.

The Road is a great book. But be ready to be a bit depressed when you read it.
