My Mailbox Monday, Feb 25

So our snowstorm turned into a rainstorm, which I have mixed feelings about: I suppose I'm glad we don't have another foot of snow but all this rain is making everything a slushy, icy mess!  Oh, New England...

Here are my arrivals for the week.  To learn more about a book, click on the title -- it'll open in a new tab/window.

What did you get this week?

    Hi Audra,

    What a fantastic haul you have this week and all of them are new authors to me, except for the book we have in common, 'Dance The Moon Down' by Robert Bartram. I am really looking forward to reading this one.

    I have marked a couple of your other books, 'Grave Consequences' and 'No Turning Back', although to be honest, they all sound good to me, there isn't one there that I wouldn't read.

    Thanks for being a great February host for the meme and have a good week,

    Yvonne.

    Another great mailbox. I'll be curious for your thoughts on the Bergen books. I totally forgot to include Rocamora in my mailbox this week -- I received it, too (now I'm off to edit my post).

    Another ground round up of books! I'm in the middle of Wuthering Heights right now, so Wuthering Nights made me chuckle :)

    I really enjoy Patti Callahan Henry's novels so I hope her new one is another good read. Thanks for hosting MM in February!

    It really feels like everyone is linking up with The Maid and The Queen this week. I hadn't seen it until tonight, but now I'm really intrigued by it.

    Excited to see you have a Joanna Hines title in your collection. I think she is an author that deserves much greater success - I really enjoyed her titles Surface Tension and Improvising Carla and have Angels of the Flood in my TBR pile. Look forward to hearing what you thnk of this title.

    Wuthering Nights? WHY. I don't know, perhaps it's me, but this wave of ~classics with a 50 shades twist~ is getting old. Although I can totally see Heathcliff being into BDSM..

    I'm hoping you enjoy The Maid and the Queen much more than I did! It was one of my very first DNFs. To be honest, I think it was more of an "it's not you, it's me" deal. While there were definitely parts that interested me, it just wasn't the right book for me at the time.

    ..yikes. Enough with the Debbie Downer comments. :) Like always, lovely haul & I cannot wait to read your reviews!

    All of these are new to me! Where have I been that I have not heard of these books? I am interested in a lot of them, and will have to see if my library list grows longer after you review them!

    Rain is better than snow... at least once the snow's cleared. Loving the cover of And Then I Found You! Just one for me this week, and plenty else to read so it's all good.

    Oooh, Margaret Fuller: A New American Life looks awesome. Fuller is a figure unknown to me, and it sounds like I really need to change that!

Seen both at Mailbox Monday -- hosted in February at Metro Reader -- and The Story Siren, my Mailbox Monday/In My Mailbox. What an insane week! And by insane, I mean, amazing. This might win for the most arrivals in a week since I've started blogging. Honestly, my jaw is on the ground -- I'm blown away and super excited to read all these. What did you get this week? Read any of these?

Did I finish?: I did, although I lingered!
One-sentence summary: Twenty-three essays on writing and reading by a passionate, sharp, reader and author.
Reading Challenges:Dewey Decimal

Do I like the cover?: I really do -- the soft colors and the spare layout really appeal to me, and, lame as it may be, I want that desk and chair and typewriter to be my writer-ly writing room.

I'm reminded of...: Anne Lamott

First line: We live in a fast-forward world.

Did... I squee a little seeing Thaisa Frank quoted in this volume?: YES. I've really enjoyed Thaisa Frank's writing, and love seeing people I love getting love, and discovered she's not related to this author (as Joan Frank explains in her A…

Mailbox Monday, May 21

May's Mailbox Monday is hosted at Martha’s Bookshelf. I think this week I got the most books ever in a week and I'm flabbergasted. My picture of the stack doesn't even include all the e-ARCs, obviously -- what a week! I feel like a kid at Christmas -- just giddy with delight. I don't even know where to start! What did you get this week? Read any of these? As usual, click a cover to learn more about the book (link will open in a new tab/window). Do you still like this format or is it getting too image heavy? Should I switch back to the list?
