Mailbox Monday ~ July 8th

Sunflower-Butterfly-MailboxMailbox 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 July host is Tasha @ Book Obsessed

Here’s what arrived last week.

The Returned by Jason Mott from Harlequin MIRA
Jacob was time out of sync, time more perfect than it had been. He was life the way it was supposed to be all those years ago. That’s what all the Returned were.

Necessary Lies by Diane Chamberlain from St. Martin’s Press
Bestselling author Diane Chamberlain delivers a breakout book about a small southern town fifty years ago, and the darkest—and most hopeful—places in the human heart.

Shorecliff by Ursula DeYoung from Little, Brown
Spending the summer of 1928 in a big house on the Maine coast with his 10 older cousins and a gaggle of aunts and uncles seems like a dream come true to lonely 13-year-old Richard.

Goat Mountain by David Vann from Harper
In David Vann’s searing novel Goat Mountain, an 11-year-old boy at his family’s annual deer hunt is eager to make his first kill. His father discovers a poacher on the land, a 640-acre ranch in Northern California, and shows him to the boy through the scope of his rifle. With this simple gesture, tragedy erupts, shattering lives irrevocably.

    I have an e-copy of The Returned which I’m planning to read later this month, and I also requested the new David Vann (yay!) book, but Harper’s books obviously take a little longer to reach me than you. Looking forward to these books.

    Have a good week!

    Your books are always so pretty! I still haven’t read Chamberlain even though she’s been on my shelves for years.
