Mailbox Monday: July 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!



The Outer Banks House: A NovelARC. Crown Publishers.
One fateful summer in the post-Civil War Outer Banks of North Carolina will forever change the course of young Abigail Sinclair's life.

I've already read this one and loved it! Would make a great beach read. See my review below.





Dracula in LoveARC. Doubleday.
From the shadowy banks of the river Thames to the wild and windswept Yorkshire coast, Dracula's eternal muse, Mina Murray, vividlky recounts the intimate details of what really transpired between her and the Count - the joys and terrors of a passionate affair that has linked them through the centuries, and her rebellion against her own frightening preternatural powers.




The King's Mistress: A NovelARC. Crown Publishing.
History has not been kind to Alice Perrers, the notorious mistress of King Edward III. Scholars and contemporaries alike have deemed her a manipulative woman who used her great beauty and sensuality to take advantage of an aging and increasingly senile king. But who is the woman behind the scandal? A coldhearted opportunist or someone who was fighting for her very survival?




The Tower, The Zoo, and The Tortoise: A NovelARC. Doubleday.
Balthazar Jones lives in the Tower of London with his wife, Hebe, and his one-hundred-eighty-one-year-old pet tortoise. It's no easy job navigating the trials and tribulations that come with living and working in the largest tourist attraction in present-day London... Suffused with whimsy, heart, and hilarity - not to mention chock-full of curious Tower history.




The WhisperFinished Copy won through BookReporter.
MIRA Books.
It was meant to be an adventure - a night alone on a remote Irish island. Archaeologist Sophie Malone never expected to find Celtic treasure or to end up in a fight for her life in a dark, desolate cave. Now, a year later, she's convinced answers to the mysteries of that night lie in Boston. Is the recent violence there connected to her night of terror? Who has the priceless gold artifacts that disappeared from the cave...and who is responsible for the whispers she heard in the dark?


What did you get last week?
