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 February host is Audra @ Unabridged Chick.

Although it’s still winter and there is snow on the ground, I’m already thinking Spring and landscaping. So I’m excited to be able to preview a copy of Gardening for the Birds.

For review from Timber Press (eGalley):

The Backyard Bird Sanctuary:
How to Create a Bird-Friendly Garden
by George Adams

With hundreds of native plants, extensive seasonal bloom and fruiting charts, and the techniques for creating a balanced ecosystem, this book helps you turn any space—from a small, urban terrace to a large suburban yard—into a home for a fascinating variety of birds. Close-up profiles of birds from across all regions of North America teach you their nesting, breeding, and feeding habits.

A win from Criminal Element:

Stalked (Lucy Kincaid #5)
by Allison Brennan

A new trainee at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Lucy Kincaid has already seen more than her share of murder and mayhem. Still reeling from the sex-crime case that sealed her reputation, she’s found a true friend and mentor in Agent Tony Presidio. No matter what goes down at the Bureau, Tony’s got her back—until he’s called to New York to help investigate the murder of a reporter with ties to Lucy. But the reporter may not be the first victim of a patient killer with a penchant for revenge, and she’s definitely not the last. Connections between closed cases, a missing person, and Tony himself lead Lucy to fear for those she cares for most.

Purchased the e-book for a Book Circle discussion:
