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.

What did you get this month?

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!

    Enjoy!

  7. Wow 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.

  14. 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.

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: 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…

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…
