In My Mailbox

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren

I have an oddly eclectic bunch of books in my mailbox this week.

From the library

The first Aftrican American armoured unit to see combat in WW II

A WW I book written by our newest National Ambassador for Young People's Literature

A novel about a Jewish boy who learns to box in Nazi Germany under the tutlage of Max Schmeling

Books I bought
A new coming of age story, orginally the author's dissertation 

Something old: I haven't read Rosamunde Pilcher since The Shell Seekers hit the charts 

Something older: I have been hunting an affordable, complete copy of this for a long time and finally found one

An ARC
A new WW II Kindertranspot story for YA readers 
Just for Fun
Not sure what I will do with this, but it should be fun

In My Mailbox


In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren

There wasn't much in my mailbox this week, but it wasn’t empty either. 
 Books I got from the library:


Caleb’s War by David L. Dudley
This looked like an interesting addition to Home Front literature about WW II.


I Will Come Back for You by Marisabina Russo
This came highly recommended.

A book I got from Net Galley:


The Baker’s Daughter by Sarah McCoy
This new book looked interesting.

Books I bought:

The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett (for rereading)
It's Terry Pratchett, what else is there to say.  He is the best!


The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley
OK, I am a little behind the times read this, but better late than never.


The Girl is Murder by Kathryn Miller Haines 
This looked intriguing, so I thought I would give this YA mystery a try.

If only I could borrow, buy or download more hours in the day.
