Mailbox Monday is touring through blogs. For the month of December it will be hosted by Lady Q at Let Them Read Books. Next month the tour moves to Rose City Reader where it will be hosted for the month of January.
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:
Extraordinary, Ordinary People: A Memoir of Family by Condoleezza Rice from Read It Forward.
Condoleezza Rice is a person of broad and deep accomplishment. At various times she has excelled as an expert diplomat, brilliant political scientist, and trained concert pianist. Her achievements run the gamut from helping to oversee the collapse of the Soviet Union, to working to protect the country in the aftermath of 9-11, to becoming only the second woman – and the first black woman ever — to serve as Secretary of State.
The Other Life by Ellen Meister from Putnam Books for review.
Happily married and pregnant, Quinn Braverman has an ominous secret. Every time she makes a major life decision, she knows an alternate reality exists in which she made the opposite choice-not only that, she knows how to cross over. But even in her darkest moments-like her mother’s suicide-Quinn hasn’t been tempted to slip through…until she receives devastating news about the baby she’s carrying.
Two Lethal Lies by Annie Solomon, a win from Books and Needlepoint.
On the run since his daughter was born, Mitch Turner has concealed a truth so dangerous, its discovery could jeopardize both their lives. But when a series of shocking murders hits their newfound home, the trail leads straight to Mitch. With the police out for blood and his daughter ripped from his arms, he has nowhere to turn–until a beautiful stranger offers her help.

Just stopping by to let you know that you won a copy of What I Thought I Knew by Alice Eve Cohen from my giveaway. I just sent you an email about it too (sometimes those end up in spam so I like to leave a comment as well).
