Mailbox Monday ~ September 7th
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.
Summer is hanging on and we are having a warm week — which is good because this is a holiday weekend in the US. Monday is Labor Day, a day off work for many. I’ll be volunteering in the morning at the bird shelter and then home for a little BBQ-ing and relaxing in the backyard, And maybe even reading a book.
Here’s what arrived last week . . .
Print Books
The Lake House by Kate Morton from Atria.
Living on her family’s gorgeous lakeside estate in Cornwall, England, Alice Edevane is a bright, clever, inquisitive, innocent, and precociously talented fourteen-year-old who loves to write stories. But the mysteries she pens are no match for the one her family is about to endue . . .
Girl Waits with Gun by Amy Stewart from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and LibraryThing.
From the New York Times best-selling author of The Drunken Botanist comes an enthralling novel based on the forgotten true story of one of the nation’s first female deputy sheriffs.
Broken Promise by Linwood Barclay from Bookreporter Summer Reading Contest.
. . . an explosive novel set in the peaceful small town of Promise Falls, where secrets can always be buried—but never forgotten . . .
Paradise Road: Jack Kerouac’s Lost Highway and My Search for America
by Jay Atkinson from Turner Publishing.
In Paradise Road, Jay Atkinson sets out to re-create Kerouac’s journeys of the late 1940s, depicting the travels of the author and his longtime friends as they retrace the five major trips Jack Kerouac took with his pals.

The Lake House was in a lot of mailboxes last week. Hope you love it. We’re supposed to go to a BBQ this afternoon but we may get rained out.

I got The Lake House too but my book cover is very different from yours. I’ve heard great things about Girl Waits With Gun. Enjoy the holiday!

I’m a little over half-way through We Never Asked for Wings. Loving the writing and the bird references/symbolism, but not liking most of the characters.

Hi Leslie,
I have all of Kate Morton’s books on my ‘Want To Read’ list, as having read ‘The House At Riverton’ and enjoyed it so, I couldn’t run the risk of missing out on any of her work 🙂
I also entered a Goodreads Giveaway competition, to win a copy of ‘Broken Promise’, as I have admired author Linwood Barclay’s books for some time …. so, fingers crossed!
Enjoy all of your books and the rest of the week 🙂
