Mailbox Monday, Jan 28

Ohemgee, what is up with this winter weather?!  Despite my best efforts, I spent a good chunk of last night in the cold and it was miserable.  Thankfully, I had books to make it better.  Another wonderfully full Mailbox Monday this week.  Hosted in January at Lori's Reading Corner, my arrivals look pretty amazing.

To learn more, click on the cover. A new tab/window will open.

Most excitingly: I'm the host of Mailbox Monday in February!! I'm a great hostess, I promise! I hope to see you all next week!

So, what did you get this week?

For Review























Gifted


Sweetly gifted to my wife (!) by the author, after I commented that my wife is an enormous Katherine Parr fangirl. How sweet is that?! Thank you, Ms. Byrd!!

  2. I was tempted by several of these but there are just too many good books on NetGalley and I don't want to end up with a massive backlog again. Planning on reading Raw Head and Bloody Bones next week though :)

  10. Jealous - I've asked for the Brill (used to be a major astronomy buff!) but haven't gotten anywhere so far... I'm going to try another avenue. I have a copy of Z, too. A very nice list -- India Black is always fun.

    Hope they fix the spelling of Aquitaine on the Jones covers! I read Beloved Enemy and Fatal Crown ages ago.

    1. I'm super excited for the Brill -- I hope I can squeeze it in! I hadn't noticed the Aquitaine spelling -- just tweeted 'em to see what if it was intentional!

    2. It's a common error - and it's on their website and Amazon too, hmm. Fortunately with ebooks, it's not as difficult to fix as it could be.

    3. It wasn't intentional! They're correcting it now. Good eye and nice catch!

    4. Thanks for touching base with them - I'm pleased they're fixing it!

  13. So many goodies in this mailbox....Z and Black Russian are among the one's I'll be looking out for in your reviews.

  14. I'm envious of all that medieval fiction (even I've I've quite a bit myself). A really good lot of books there, and as someone who loved it I must be biased and say it's awesome you've got Shadows and Strongholds there.

  15. What a great stash of books! I am curious about Byrd's books and how they blend faith into the Tudor stories.
    Have a great week!

    Here is my memes post.

  20. Holy cow! How do you keep up with your book hauls?

    The Movement of Stars: Pretty! I'm not so sure about the description, so you be sure to read it and let me know if I should. ;)

    Ooh, you got another book about your fictional girlfriend. Nice!

    That Zelda Fitzgerald novel looks awesome. Want.

    The Passions for Darcy: It looks so cheesy, yet...I want it. Dang you, Jane Austen, for making me so in love with your characters I cannot resist anything about them!

    Awwww, I love that an author gifted a book to your wife. That is so sweet!

  21. Your mailbox Mondays always send me running off to Goodreads. Then I make my gigantic to-be-read list even longer...

    I hope you find some great new reads in this haul to curl up with until this gross weather passes!

  22. Oh man, I finished Z this weekend and really loved it!

  23. I'm so curious about the Zelda novel! Read a wonderful biography of her years ago - fascinating lady. Look forward to your thought on it.

    ReplyDelete

  24. Seriously, how do you do it? You have given me an atrocious case of book envy, but how would I ever find time to read all these titles? How do you??

    ReplyDelete

  25. What an amazing selection! I want to read the Ella Fitzgerald book, too. Enjoy your new books!

    ReplyDelete

  26. I read Fatal Crown years ago and it has it's place on my keeper shelf. I just read Beloved Enemy by Ellen Jones. Loved it! Now to buy the print copy so it can sit on that shelf too. Gilded Cages is next. :)

  27. Wow...what a mailbox. I read The Secret Keeper - pretty good.

    The India Fan and The Paradise Guest House look good.

    Enjoy all your books.

The Orchardist by Amanda Coplin

Title:The Orchardist
Author: Amanda Coplin

Genre: Fiction (Historical / early 20th Century / Pacific Northwest / Oregon / Horticulture / Teenage Pregnancy)
Publisher/Publication Date: Harper Perennial (3/5/2013)
Source:TLC Book Tours

Rating: Liked, possibly loved. This one will grow on me, I suspect, as time goes on.
Did I finish?: Oh yes.
One-sentence summary: Set in early 20th century Oregon, a orchardist helps two pregnant girls on the run and the experience has explosive results for all.
Reading Challenges:Historical Fiction

Do I like the cover?: I'm of two minds: a little bit I like it for the colors, and the bucolic setting; but up close, the image is sort of rendered like one those paint programs that makes photos look like canvases. It's odd.

I'm reminded of...: Alice Hoffman, Doris Lessing

First line: His face was as pitted as the moon.

Buy, Borrow, or Avoid?: Ohemgee, borrow or buy, especially if you like narratives set in the American West.

Why did I get this book?: I re…

Book Review: The Secret History of Jane Eyre by John Pfordresher

Image
First line: We begin with a mystery.

I grabbed this book because of the cover (gorgeous) and the fact that I'm not a huge Jane Eyre fan and I kind of want to be. (I mean, it seems like a book I should be all over.) I love books about books, stories that dive into the nitty-gritty and ineffable magic of writing a novel. And I'm always up to learn more about books and how, possibly, to read them.

But this one really disappointed me.

Pfordresher's argument -- his 'secret history' -- is that Brontë mined her own life for Jane Eyre. (No duh.) But he pushes a literal person-for-person sort of equivalency that really disappointed me; while arguing for Brontë's creative genius, I couldn't help but feel like he was minimizing it in this manner.

There are also some intense leaps that just seemed a stretch to me. For example, Rochester's agonizing sexual frustration reflects "...a sexual energy Charlotte Brontë knew, daily, at Haworth," (p82), from the a…

Teaser Tuesday: The Alice Network

Image
My Teaser Tuesday for this week comes from Kate Quinn's marvelous The Alice Network. I'm only a fourth through but I am hardcore in love. There are a handful of badass women who dominate the book, and Quinn's trademark mix of rich detail and delightful one-liners. (Limiting myself to one teaser today was a challenge!)

This quote is from the start of the novel, when our World War I spy Eve gets her first job at a Lille-based restaurant..

Eve could see why the Germans came to dine here. It was a civilized place to relax after a long day of stamping on your conquered populace. (p103)

What are you reading right now? Any teasers to share?

Book Review: Novel Destinations by Shannon McKenna Schmidt and Joni Rendon

Image
First line: "I felt as if I'd got into a novel while going about in the places I'd read so much of," Louisa May Alcott wrote in her journal after seeing the sights of Dickensian London in 1865., from the Introduction

Book-inspired travel is a favorite of mine and my wife's. On my first trip with my in-laws, they cheerfully indulged my literary nerdiness by diverting a family road trip so that I could search for poet and novelist H.D.'s grave in Bethlehem, PA. Through multiple biographies and Jackson's own writing, my wife and I pieced together a route through North Bennington, Vermont, to explore Shirley Jackson's world. And for my babymoon, my wife took me to Yaddo, famed writing center, so I could walk the grounds so many favorite authors had.

All this is to say: a book that basically does all the work and offers me many, many ways to visit my favorite literary sites is pretty much catnip for me.

In its second edition, Novel Destinations offers a va…
