Mailbox Monday ~ February 3rd

Welcome to Mailbox Monday, created by Marcia of To Be Continued, a place where readers share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week.

After several years of being on tour with different blogs as the monthly host, the Mailbox Monday Blog is now the permanent home for the meme.

Last week I received a mix of print, ebooks and audiobooks.

Print Books

Under Magnolia by Frances Mayes from Crown.
A lyrical and evocative memoir from Frances Mayes, the Bard of Tuscany, about coming of age in the Deep South and the region’s powerful influence on her life.

The Weight of Blood by Laura McHugh from Spiegel & Grau.
A dark, gripping debut novel of literary suspense about two mysterious disappearances, a generation apart, and the meaning of family-the sacrifices we make, the secrets we keep, and the lengths we will go to protect the ones we love.

The Divorce Papers by Susan Rieger from Crown.
Witty and wonderful, sparkling and sophisticated, this debut romantic comedy brilliantly tells the story of one very messy, very high-profile divorce, and the endearingly cynical young lawyer dragooned into handling it.

HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton by Jonathan Allen

Little Demon in the City of Light by Steven Levingston
The thrilling–and so wonderfully French–story of a gruesome 1889 murder of a lascivious court official by a ruthless con man and his pliant mistress, an international manhunt, a sensational trial, and an inquiry into the limits of hypnotic power.
