Mailbox Monday: April 5


Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. (Checked out library books don’t count, but eBooks & audio books do). Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists!


Only one book this week, and I am proud to say I have stuck to my resolution to lay off buying more books for a while. That's two weeks now without buying a book! This one came courtesy of Marcia from The Printed Page as part of her Read it Forward program.
Thanks, Marcia!


The Botticelli SecretDan Brown meets Sarah Dunant in this exhilarating and evocative glimpse of life in fifteenth-century Italy. The Botticelli Secret offers an irresistable blend of history, wit, and suspense as it follows the irrepressible, foul-mouthed yet beautiful Luciana Vetra, who must flee for her life after stealing an unfinished version of Botticelli's Primavera.


Mailbox Mondays is hosted by The Printed Page.

    I'm there with you...I bought a few this week, but I've been passing on ARCs, at least until I get out from under the mountain of reviews I have to do!

    It sounds like you got a good one! Looking forward to your review. Enjoy!

    Oh I REALLY wanted to read this one! I'll definitely have to pick this up from the store the next time I allow myself some book purchases. Judging by the books in your sidebar, it seems like we have very similar tastes!

    Here's my mailbox.
