Mailbox Monday ~ August 25th
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.
It’s been a slow couple of weeks on the blog because I’ve been busy with a few projects, plus work and life in general sometimes interferes. I’m still reading, or rather listening, but haven’t had much time for writing or commenting. Even Weekend Birding has taken a break, and that rarely happens.
A couple of new additions this week, both non-fiction.
New Arrivals
Dataclysm: Who We Are by Christian Rudder from Crown.
Our personal data has been used to spy on us, hire and fire us, and sell us stuff we don’t need. In Dataclysm, Christian Rudder uses it to show us who we truly are.
In the Kingdom of Ice: The Grand and Terrible Polar Voyage of the USS Jeannette by Hampton Sides from Random House Audio.
A white-knuckle tale of polar exploration and survival in the Gilded Age.
How was your week?

I’ll bet the Rudder book is very interesting (and would probably make me a little anxious, ha).

I’ve only read one Sides book – The Ghost Soldiers – but I really liked it. I’ve got to get going on another one.

This will be my first book by the author, but I’ve seen so many glowing reviews about his writing that I wanted to give this a go. And if I’m going to read about ice and snow, it needs to be well before winter arrives!

For some reasons, I don;t think these would be for me. Hope you love them though.
