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 :)

  4. Great mailbox (as usual), Audra. I have Strands of Bronze and Gold for review, too, and have requested The Fatal Crown. Can't wait for your reviews on each of books you received.

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Hope it starts to warm up for you soon! We are finally getting some relief from the bitter cold.

  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.

    ReplyDelete

  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.

  28. I think Mailbox Mondays are my favorite weekly event. I don't always get a new book every week, but yay when I do. That's a pretty big haul you have for this Monday!

Winter 2017 Bloggiesta To Do Post

Image
I love Bloggiesta for reminding me to brush up and take of my blog, and doing it "in community", so to speak, makes this housework a little more fun.

Given my earlier whining about feeling out-of-it with my blog, I'm really excited there's a mini-event this coming weekend in which I can do some backend work here.

My to do list is pretty simple:
make a top 10 of 2016 post (even if it is just a list!)review the book I just finished!I'd like to start 2017 without a backlog of reviews, so it feels important I keep up. We'll see if I'll tackle my 2016 backlog. (Perhaps for another Bloggiesta!)

Top Ten Reads of 2017

Image
In 2017 I read 40 books, and while it's on the leaner side (compared to the years I was aiming for 200+!), it felt like the first year I was really back into reading in a way I hadn't been since I was pregnant in 2014.

I got much closer to my goal of being a free-range reader in 2017, but I still struggled with balancing reading with other activities, and more importantly with regards to this blog, writing about my reads. (Here I am, almost halfway through 2018, and I'm seriously behind on reviews. Ugh!)

In 2017, thirty-four of all the authors I read were women. Seven were authors of color. Four of my reads were audiobooks, which is a first for me! I managed two non-fiction reads: one a memoir, the other a food/how-to guide. Twenty-four of my reads were 2017 releases.

As always, my top ten reads for the year were books that delighted me upon reading and have lingered with me after. All are books I've recommended multiple times and/or won't shut up about. Only one …

Book Review: Eventide by Therese Bohman

Image
First line: The subway car was packed and she had to stand from Slussen to Östermalmstorg, crammed between people who all seemed to be sweating.

I didn't think I'd so enjoy a book that details the angst of being 40ish and uneasy about one's life. But Bohman's slender novel and her cerebral, melancholy heroine Karolina, are touching, familiar, and wryly funny.

This is a familiar story, but still feels fresh and vibrant. Karolina is 40-ish and newly separated, a decision that she agonizes over. Living alone, she relishes the freedom even as she doubts her own decisions. When her charming graduate student's research reveals an exciting, forgotten female artist, there is the promise of something more.

Bohman's narrative style, as translated by Marlaine Delargy, is both grounded and ethereal: we experience Karolina's grimy commutes through the city as well as float with her during her lofty, meandering ruminations. It's a think-y kind of novel that doesn…

Book Review: The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell

Image
First line: The new doctor took her by surprise.

This book is my catnip: Victorian, gothic, haunted house slash ghost story maybe slash unreliable narrator, plus mysterious deaths and creepy countrysides and, well, this read did not disappoint.

I loved it.

Elsie is a young widow, mere months into her marriage. Her husband died under mysterious circumstances at his family's decrepit country estate and Elsie must go there for his burial, accompanied by a mousy cousin-in-law, Sarah. She finds The Bridge, as the house is called, in shambles, with an clumsy, unprofessional staff surrounded by hostile villagers. She also finds a home, and family, steeped in tragedy.

I don't want to say too much more lest I giveaway a small but meaningful detail, but needless to say, Purcell creates a story with all the shiver-inducing details one wants in a creepy gothic-y horror. Nothing can be trusted: not people, not one's senses, not history, not place.

The title's silent companions are …
