Mailbox Monday ~ August 22nd
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. The August host is Staci at Life in the Thumb.
One new arrival this week.
For review from the publisher:
All These Things I’ve Done
by Gabrielle Zevin
In 2083, chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is hard to find, water is carefully rationed, and New York City is rife with crime and poverty. And yet, for Anya Balanchine, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the city’s most notorious (and dead) crime boss, life is fairly routine. It consists of going to school, taking care of her siblings and her dying grandmother, trying to avoid falling in love with the new assistant D.A.’s son, and avoiding her loser ex-boyfriend. That is until her ex is accidentally poisoned by the chocolate her family manufactures and the police think she’s to blame.

Chocolate’s illegal? Let’s not even go there!

Sounds like a great book. I love SF/dystopia type stories and this is a bit different from the normal bunch.

This sounds like a fun mystery, and chocolate too. I will think twice now about eating my chocolates while I’m reading a good book.

This is a world I could only read about: no coffee, no chocolate, just poverty and crime. I hope you enjoy this book, Leslie.

If chocolate were illegal, I would be in bad shape! There would be crazy women everywhere! We need our chocolate! This sounds like a very interesting read!
