Mailbox Monday ~ May 16th

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 attended BEA and that means lots of new books. Over the three days I picked up a total of 40 books — not a lot by BEA standards but only as many as I could carry. I was going to bring my rolling bag on days two and three, but when I hauled it out of my closet, a wheel broke off! I think the book gods were trying to tell me something.

Today I’m featuring 10 books that were already on my want-to-read list. I ended up picking up another 30 books that were too tempting to pass up. I will write about those in the coming weeks.

Books from BEA

Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge by Paul Krueger from Quirk Books.
A sharp and funny urban fantasy for “new adults” about a secret society of bartenders who fight monsters with alcohol fueled magic.

Constellation by Adrien Bosc from Other Press.
This best-selling debut novel from one of France’s most exciting young writers is based on the true story of the 1949 disappearance of Air France’s Lockheed Constellation and its famous passengers.

The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict from Sourcebooks.
A vivid and mesmerizing novel about the extraordinary woman who married and worked with one of the greatest scientists in history.

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch from Crown Books.
From the author of the bestselling WAYWARD PINES trilogy, a brilliantly mind-bending science-fiction thriller in which an ordinary man is kidnapped, knocked unconscious—and awakens in a world inexplicably different from the reality he thought he knew.

Darktown by Thomas Mullen from Atria.
The award-winning author of The Last Town on Earth delivers a riveting and elegant police procedural set in 1948 Atlanta, exploring a murder, corrupt police, and strained race relations that feels ripped from today’s headlines.

Rise the dark. These were the last words written in Lauren Novak’s notebook before she was murdered in a strange Florida village.

Before the Fall by Noah Hawley from Grand Central Publishing.
On a foggy summer night, eleven people-ten privileged, one down-on-his-luck painter-depart Martha’s Vineyard on a private jet headed for New York. Sixteen minutes later, the unthinkable happens: the plane plunges into the ocean.

The Sudden Appearance of Hope by Claire North from Redhook.
The Sudden Appearance of Hope is the tale of the girl no one remembers. But this gripping story – of love and loss, of hope and despair, of living in the moment and dying to leave a mark – is novel that will stay with you for ever.

The Last Days of Night by Graham Moore from Random House.
From Graham Moore, the Academy Award–winning screenwriter of The Imitation Game and New York Times bestselling author of The Sherlockian comes a riveting historical thriller about the “War of the Currents,” the famous race for glory and riches between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse.
