Mailbox Monday

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at A Girl and Her Books. Mailbox Monday is currently on tour and this month is making it's home with Amy at Passages to the Past.

Hello everyone! I recently returned from a week long vacation to Washington DC and to see the in-laws in NY and of course I had to check out the bookstores in both of these locations. Unfortunately, I was too busy seeing the sites in DC to hit more than one bookstore there and the one I did go to was way too pricey for me. NY totally redeemed the trip for me book wise though because I discovered a fantastic UBS in the middle of nowhere and came home with a whole bunch of goodies! Also got some books from a few other sources so without further ado:

From the publisher for review:

• The Dark Enquiry (Lady Julia #5) by Deanna Raybourn
• The Maid by Kimberly Cutter
• The Linen Queen by Patricia Falvey
• Dreams of Joy by Lisa See

From Oblong Books in Millerton, NY:

• Russian Winter by Daphne Kalotay

From Rodger's Book Barn in Hillsdale, NY (this is the great find!!!):

• Ophelia by Lisa Klein
• The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
• Elizabeth and the Prince of Spain by Margaret Irwin
• The King Must Die by Mary Renault
• How Late it Was, How Late by James Kelman
• The House of Medici: It's Rise and Fall by Christopher Hibbert
• An Army of Angels by Pamela Marcantel
• Elizabeth Captive Princess by Margaret Irwin
• The Coffee Trader by David Liss
• Captive Queen by Alison Weir

*note: the Margaret Irwin covers shown are not the ones I bought. The versions I got were hardcovers published by book-club-of-the-month and I could not find a picture of them.



Won from Goodreads First Reads Giveaways:

• The Borgia Betrayal by Sara Poole

From PBS:

• Arabella by Georgette Heyer
• The True Story of Hansel and Gretel by Louise Murphy
• The Emperor (Morland Dynasty #11) by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles

And that does it for me this week :)
