Mailbox Monday



Thanks go to Avis of She Reads and Reads for hosting Mailbox Monday in October.

Three books came into my house last week:



Mink River by Brian Doyle.  This was a hostess gift from a very thoughtful friend. I am looking froward to it because it is a novel by the author of The Grail: A Year Ambling & Shambling Through an Oregon Vineyard in Pursuit of the Best Pinot Noir Wine in the Whole Wild World, which I really liked and reviewed here.



American Terroir: Savoring the Flavors of Our Woods, Waters, and Fields by Rowan Jacobsen. This is a LibraryThing Early Reviewer book. I've been limiting my ER choices, but this one sounded very interesting to me.



61 Hours by Lee Child.  This one came as a result of the book chain letter I sent out a couple of months ago. I am a big Lee Child fan and have read all his Jack Reacher novels except this, his latest. I'll be turning to it very soon.How fun!

  2. I was just convinced to start reading Lee Child's Reacher series and have the first one on request from the library. I'm glad to see you're a fan too!

  3. Mink River has a very interesting cover. I have a Lee Child book here that came by mistake but it looks so good that I think I may have to read it. Enjoy your new books!

  6. I love Mink the best of all. She looks like a raven. There are other black birds, right?

  8. Love, love, love the Reacher books. I just finished this one and it was lotsa fun, although it ends on a cliff hanger.

  9. Mary -- The cover of Mink River is eye catching!

    nomadreader -- I love the Jack Reacher series. It sags a little in the middle, but when he's on his game, he is the best. The first one may be my favorite. Enjoy.

    Beth -- The Lee Child series is fun because you don't have to read them in order.

    Aisle B -- Raven? Crow? I can't tell the difference. Thanks for leaving your link.

    bermuda -- I agree! A book makes a very nice hostess gift.

    Tea -- Crows are the only ones I know.

    J.G. -- I am trying to limit Kittie pics, although I am tempted!

    Caitlin -- I love that you are a serious reader and a Reacher Creature! Me too!

    Mystica -- Thanks! And thanks for visiting.

  11. It's a crow. His name is Moses. He's reaaaaal interesting and thoughtful -- well, I think so, anyway.

  12. diaryofaneccentric -- I've been a Lee Child fan since I saw him speak at a writers' conference. He spins a good yarn.

    Brian -- Thanks for visiting and clearing up the whole raven/crow thing. I'm looking forward to your book!
