Mailbox Monday ~ November 22nd

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:

Three Seconds by Anders Roslund and Borge Hellstrom. An ARC from the publisher as part of Barnes & Noble’s First Look early reviewer discussion group.

Piet Hoffmann is the best undercover operative in the Swedish police force, but only one other man is even aware of his existence. After a drug deal he is involved in goes badly wrong, he must face the hardest mission of his life – infiltrating Sweden’s most infamous maximum-security prison.

 
 
 

Anatomy of Ghosts by Andrew Taylor. An ARC from the publisher for review.

Desperate to salvage her son’s reputation and restore him to health, Lady Anne Oldershaw employs her own agent – John Holdsworth, author of The Anatomy of Ghosts, a controversial attack on the existence of ghostly phenomena. But his arrival in Cambridge disrupts the uneasy status quo. He glimpses a world of privilege and abuse, where the sinister Holy Ghost Club governs life at Jerusalem more effectively than the Master, Dr Carbury, ever could.

Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell was a contest win.

Dr. Peter Brown is an intern at Manhattan’s worst hospital, with a talent for medicine, a shift from hell, and a past he’d prefer to keep hidden. Whether it’s a blocked circumflex artery or a plan to land a massive malpractice suit, he knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men.

    Beat the Reaper is a lot of fun, but it’s got a lot of language in it! Enjoy your new books!

    I am going to be participating in the Barnes and Noble book also. The book looks very intense! It should make for great discussion.

    Three Seconds is one that I’ve had my eye on; still looking for more reviews. I have The Anatomy of Ghosts; I think it will be a good read (I really need a really good read, as most of my books lately have been good, but not really good or even great). I’m going to have to look up Beat the Reaper; it sounds rather interesting.

    Enjoy the reads!
