Mailbox Monday, July 8
Mailbox Monday is hosted in July at Tasha @ Book Obsessed and itt feels like forever since I've done a Mailbox Monday post! (It's just been a month.)
Since that time, I've gotten a boatload of awesome new arrivals, some of which I've already read and reviewed (!) so I'm not including them in this roundup.
To learn more about a book, click on the cover. The GoodReads page for it will open up in a new tab/window.

Purchased/Gifted/Swapped
The Historical Novel Society conference in June was a source of many new books, happily!

We got a swag bag!

I DNF'd this in 2011 but after seeing Stella Duffy speak at the HNS conference, I was so enamored of her, I raced out to buy this and try again.

Bought this one at the HNS conference after seeing the author, Kamran Pasha, speak on a panel about depicting religion in historical novels. I had insta!fangirl crush on him, and even though my wife wants to murder me for purchasing books, I had to.

After gushing to Kate Quinn, she later asked me if I'd take this ARC of her forthcoming book as a 'favor' to her, so she wouldn't have to lug it home. My reply is obvious.

I had posted a Q&A with Sharman Ramsey ahead of the conference, so when I saw her at the author signing, I said 'hi' and introduced myself. In return, she gifted me with this first in her series. Very excited!

Holy cats, what a giant stack of new books to read. Wheee! :D I'm curious about a bunch of those, especially Mrs. Poe.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
So many from your stack here that appeal to me! Such gorgeous covers. I also got The Best of Daughters. Enjoy your reading week!
ReplyDeleteWOW! You always have a great mailbox, but I think this might your best one yet! I've read a couple of the books you have listed (Bride of New France, which I really liked, and Letters From Skye, which I loved). I can't wait to read your reviews for each and every one of them.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Great selection! I certainly added several to my TBR pile after reading your post!

Fantastic month!!!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Poe is one of many I want to read in your list. :)
I have read Letters From Skye....it was different. I loved The Cleaner of Chartres.
ENJOY your books. They all look FAB.

I can always count on you, Audra, to add at least 3-4 books to my WishList :) I'm adding Mrs. Poe, The Midwife's Revolt, Bride of New France and Godiva!! Several of the others also interested me but I'll wait for your always thorough reviews before I add them to my list :)
ReplyDeleteWow what a week! Nicole Galland wrote me a guest post and she really did her research for Godiva so that should be a good one. I'm excited about Mrs. Poe too.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul, even for a month!! They're all new to me too!
ReplyDeleteHere's My MM
Fabulous mailbox. I don't know which one I prefer. They all look excellent.
ReplyDeleteFantastic books- wow! I've heard good things about Night Film. And Mrs. Poe also caught my eye. Enjoy and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWow, awesome! I can't wait to read Letters From Skye. Night Film looks great too, hope it's released here soon. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSo many books! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGreat haul with so many beautiful covers. I added The Nine Fold Heaven (and her earlier work also) to my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Woah, what a haul. So many good ones in there. I'll be reviewing Letters From Skye soon. There are so many in here, but I think I'm kicking myself about saying no to the Godiva book and I really wish I had been pitched Mrs. Poe.
ReplyDeleteSome neat looking books, and the covers look great too!
ReplyDeleteSome great looking titles, enjoy!
