In My Mailbox (36)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren to share what books you received for review, purchased, or checked out from the library during the past week.


From the library:


Troubled Waters by Sharon Shinn


I love the cover on this one!


Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok


I have heard so many good things about this book that deals with immigration and starting over through the eyes of a young immigrant and her mom.


Penelope's Daughter by Laurel Corona


This is a look at The Odyssey (what went on back home anyway) from the point of view of Odysseus's daughter, Xanthe who wasn't even born when he left Ithaca. I am really looking forward to reading this.


Love's First Bloom by Delia Parr


A Man's Heart by Lori Copeland
