Mailbox Monday ~ February 9th
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 week on the blog for me. I’m still reading, but haven’t done much writing the last week or two. Working, volunteering, running errands, cooking, cleaning, clearing snow, clearing more snow, falling asleep in front of the TV – my brain gets foggy in the winter and I am desperately craving warmth and sunshine!
A few new books showed up last week and fortunately my mailbox didn’t get knocked down during last weekend’s blizzard, so all arrived safe and sound.
New Arrivals
The World Before Us by Aislinn Hunter from Hogarth.
A hauntingly poignant novel about madness, loss, and the ties that bind our past to our present.
The Rebellion of Miss Lucy Ann Lobdell by William Klaber from St. Martin’s Press.
The riveting true story of Lucy Lobdell, who, in 1855, left her home and family, cut her hair, changed clothes, and went off to live her life as a man. By the time it was over, she was notorious.
Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives by Gretchen Rubin from Crown Books.
If habits are a key to change, then what we really need to know is: How do we change our habits? Better than Before answers that question. It presents a practical, concrete framework to allow readers to understand their habits—and to change them for good.
The Tusk That Did the Damage by Tania James from Knopf and TLC Tours.
A tour de force set in South India that plumbs the moral complexities of the ivory trade through the eyes of a poacher, a documentary filmmaker, and, in a feat of audacious imagination, an infamous elephant known as the Gravedigger.
How was your week?

The World Before Us is gorgeous! Usually these novels that take so long to come into the world are an amazing read. I’m adding this one to my list! The premise is very intriguing as well.
Stay warm! (Here is finally starting to get warmer :D)
