Mailbox Monday ~ March 14th

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.

Mailbox Monday is currently on tour, hosted by a different blog each month. This month’s host is Laura @ I’m Booking It.

Last week I received:
 

Night Road by Kristin Hannah from the publisher for review.

Vivid, universal, and emotionally complex, NIGHT ROAD raises profound questions about motherhood, identity, love, and forgiveness. It is a luminous, heartbreaking novel that captures both the exquisite pain of loss and the stunning power of hope. This is Kristin Hannah at her very best, telling an unforgettable story about the longing for family, the resilience of the human heart, and the courage it takes to forgive the people we love.
 
 

Iron House by John Hart from the publisher for review.

There was nothing but time at Iron House. Time to burn, time to kill, and time for Michael to emerge strong and unforgiving while his brother, Julian, because a tormented soul at the orphanage for boys. Two decades later Michael returns to North Carolina with a sentence on his head, the mob in hot pursuit, and his disturbed brother in trouble of a different kind.
 
 

A box of books from Read It Forward.

I am not familiar with any of these books. Anyone read any of them yet?

Light on Lucrezia by Jean Plaidy
Walking to Gatlinburg by Howard Frank Mosher
My Life From Scratch by Gesine Bullock-Prado
A Journal for Jordan by Dana Canedy
Lost Boy by Brent W. Jeffs with Maia Szalavitz
K2: Life and Death on the World’s Most Dangerous Mountain by Ed Viesturs, David Roberts

    The Jean Plaidy must be good. She does the historical fiction thing so well and it is a good subject
    as well.

    Night Road has an awesome cover, although I haven’t heard of it before – it looks like a nice read. The other books you got, I’m unfamiliar with, but I hope you’ll enjoy them as well. Happy reading!

    Take a look at what’s in my Mailbox this week!
