Mailbox Monday


Another Monday, Another Mailbox!! This is a feature where we all share with each other the yummy books that showed up at our doors! WARNING: Mailbox Mondays can lead to extreme envy and GINORMOUS wishlists!!

Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page, but for the month of October MM is on tour and hosted by Avis at She Reads and Reads.

Hey there friends!  I hope this Monday finds you all well and reading something fantastic!  Speaking of fantastic reads, I received two books for review this week and am so super excited to get to them!

The Queen of Lost Hopes: The Story of Margaret of Anjou 
by Susan Higginbotham

Release Date:  January 1, 2011

SYNOPSIS:  It would be called the Wars of the Roses, but it all began with one woman's fury...

Margaret of Anjou, Queen of England, cannot give up on her husband-even when he goes insane. And as mother to the House of Lancaster's last hope, she cannot give up on her son-even when all England turns against him. This gripping tale of a queen is at its heart a tender tale of love: passionate, for her husband, and motherly, for her only son.
 

by Christine Trent

Release Date:  December 28, 2010

SYNOPSIS:  As heiress to the famous Laurent Fashion Dolls business, Marguerite Ashby's future seems secure. But France still seethes with violence in the wake of the Revolution. And when Marguerite's husband is killed during a riot, the young widow travels to Edinburgh and becomes apprentice to her old friend, Marie Tussaud, who has established a wax exhibition. When Prime Minister William Pitt commissions a wax figure of Admiral Nelson, Marguerite becomes immersed in a dangerous adventure - and earns the admiration of two very different men. And as Britain battles to overthrow Napoleon, Marguerite will find her loyalties under fire from all sides. With a masterful eye for details, Christine Trent brings one of history's most fascinating eras to life in of a story of desire, ambition, treachery, and courage. 

Well, that's my mailbox....what goodies came your way?

  7. It's Wednesday now, so sorry for the late comment, but last night I got my Susan Holloway Scott novels!! Heaven. I spread them out on the table and just sighed. They'll show up in my next Mon post -- in the meantime, we're having 'us' time! ;)
