Mailbox Monday #15

Welcome to another edition of Mailbox Monday, sponsored by Marcia at The Printed Page.

Here's what found its way into my mailbox this week:




1. Voices Under Berlin by T.H.E. Hill, I received this from Bostick Communications and can't wait to get started.










2. Mission Accomplished: Stop the Clock by Muriel Engelman, from the author and Bostick Communications. This will be a great read for the WWII Reading Challenge.










3. Run for Your Life by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge. Miriam at Hatchette Group sent this book to me for review.










4. City Above the Sea and Other Poems by Stephen Alan Saft sent to me by Bostick Communications.

Melody said...

I've not heard or seen any of them but I thought Voices Under Berlin sounds very interesting! I'm looking forward to reading your reviews on them soon.

Serena said...

Melody: This is how it is sometimes, you just get books in the mail that you've never heard of. :)

Bookfool said...

Okay, now I've forgotten what I was going to say. Shoot. City ... Sea -- the poetry book. That has the cutest cover! I got Voices Under Berlin and flipped through it. The writing looks excellent. Hope you love 'em all!

Jenners said...

I'm interested in how you feel about James Patterson. I have not read a book of his that I have liked yet. Maybe you can change my mind.

Mission Accomplished sounds quite good! I requested it too, so I hope I get it. Nothing in my mailbox this week...

Serena said...

Bookfool: LOL don't you hate when your mind goes blank?

Jenners: I guess we shall wait and see about Patterson. The Quickie is one that I absolutely hated.

Avis: I hope you get it too; it looks great!

Anna said...

What a great bunch of books - Mission Accomplished looks especially good.

I want to know more about *Mission Accomplished* ... how many books are *you* reading for your WWII Challenge?

Serena said...

Dawn: I have a minimum goal of 5 books, but I think I have more than five books on WWII to read..so probably more than my minimum goal.
