Mailbox Monday

CardinalMailboxMailbox 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 February host is Audra @ Unabridged Chick.

I received a couple of print books last week, one for review and one win.
 
For review from Farrar Straus & Giroux:

UnrememberedUnremembered
by Jessica Brody

When Freedom Airlines flight 121 went down over the Pacific Ocean, no one ever expected to find survivors. Which is why the sixteen-year-old girl discovered floating among the wreckage—alive—is making headlines across the globe.

Even more strange is that her body is miraculously unharmed and she has no memories of boarding the plane. She has no memories of her life before the crash. She has no memories period. No one knows how she survived. No one knows why she wasn’t on the passenger manifest. And no one can explain why her DNA and fingerprints can’t be found in a single database in the world.

A win from Free Book Friday:

JuniorJunior
by Ray Donley

Thirty-year-old Joshua Jennings Jr. is the last living member of his family and the primary suspect in a terrorist bombing that killed the president, the vice president, and his own father. To make matters worse, Joshua discovers that his father planned the explosion and set up Joshua to take the blame.

Junior is Joshua’s journal. It chronicles his three years as a fugitive on the run from law enforcement and vigilantes while he tries to figure out how he­ fits into his father’s plan. When Joshua mysteriously disappears, the journal is discovered and becomes a worldwide bestseller, described by scholars and literary critics as “a classic study of the human condition.”

    They both look good to me but I have to admit that I’m intrigued by Junior’s cover.

    Junior sounds very quirky. Something that could be really good or really awful. Let’s hope it’s fun. Have a good time reading it.

    Congrats on your FBF win! Both books look like winners to me. Books about plane crashes intrigue me, though they don’t help my flying anxiety 🙂 Happy reading!
