Mailbox Monday ~ June 17th

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 June host is Bellezza @ Dolce Bellezza

Summer is here, my favorite time of the year. I spend as much time as I can outdoors so this week I took my books outside for a photo shoot by the garden. Here’s what arrived at my house last week:

Print Books:

The Widow Waltz by Sally Koslow from Viking.
The Widow Waltz explores in a profound way the bonds between mothers and daughters, belligerent siblings, skittish lovers, and bitter rivals as they discover the power of forgiveness, and healing, all while asking, “What is family, really?”

The Affairs of Others by Amy Grace Loyd from Picador
A mesmerizing debut novel about a young woman, haunted by loss, who rediscovers passion and possibility when she’s drawn into the tangled lives of her neighbors.

Zero Hour (NUMA Files #11) by Clive Cussler, Graham Brown
It is called zero point energy, and it really exists—a state of energy contained in all matter everywhere, and thus all but unlimited. Nobody has ever found a way to tap into it, however—until one scientist discovers a way.
