Mailbox Monday is touring through blogs. For the month of November it will be hosted by Knitting and Sundries. Next month the tour moves to Let Them Read Books where it will be hosted for the month of December.
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 that came into my home last week:
How Music Works by John Powell. From Hachette books for review and giveaway.
What makes a musical note different from any other sound? How can you tell if you have perfect pitch? Why do 10 violins sound only twice as loud as one? Do your Bob Dylan albums sound better on CD or vinyl? John Powell, a scientist and musician, answers these questions and many more in HOW MUSIC WORKS, an intriguing and original guide to acoustics.
A Widow’s Story: A Memoir by Joyce Carol Oates. An ARC from the publisher for review.
In 2008 Joyce Carol Oates lost the husband—Raymond Smith—to whom she’d been married for 48 years. Her recollections of those harrowing early days of widowhood provide a glimpse of Oates as a teacher of writers and as caretaker of the literary magazine she and her husband kept in print for so long.
Getting Over Going Under: 5 Things you Must Know before Anesthesia by Barry Friedberg M.D. From the author for review.
This book outlines how you can have your anesthesiologist more effectively keep you or your loved ones sedated and comfortable using 21st century care and it also reveals the shortcomings of 20th century anesthesia. It details the reasons for patient discomfort and worrisome side effects and how they can be eliminated. If you or a loved one are facing surgery of any kind, this book will assist you in assuring the safest and best possible outcome with your anesthesia experience.

Oates’ book sounds as though it may almost be too painful to read.

A Widow’s Story sounds fascinating — looking forward to your review! And I used John Powell’s music from PS I Love You as my wedding music — his work is beautiful! Here’s my Mailbox: Coffee and a Book Chick — Mailbox Monday…

What a great variety! “A Widow’s Story” made it to me this week – I think it will be a wonderful (and probably Kleenex-inducing) read. Enjoy them all!
