Mailbox Monday

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 December host is Susan at Suko’s Notebook .

It’s hard to believe the year is almost over and the Christmas Holidays are right around the corner. We are having unusually warm, spring-like weather and I’m feeling more like gardening, not putting out holiday decorations. In fact, I did work in the garden today washing flower pots, organizing the garden shed and pulling up dead plants for the compost pile.

I received a couple of review books last week plus one extra copy for a giveaway which I will be hosting later this month.

For review from the publisher and Vine:

The Aviator’s Wife
by Melanie Benjamin

For much of her life, Anne Morrow, the shy daughter of the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, has stood in the shadows of those around her, including her millionaire father and vibrant older sister, who often steals the spotlight. Then Anne, a college senior with hidden literary aspirations, travels to Mexico City to spend Christmas with her family. There she meets Colonel Charles Lindbergh, fresh off his celebrated 1927 solo flight across the Atlantic. Enthralled by Charles’s assurance and fame, Anne is certain the celebrated aviator has scarcely noticed her. But she is wrong.

For review and giveaway from the publicist:
