Mailbox Monday

What arrived in YOUR mailbox this week? Visit Marcia at The Printed Page to leave a link to your post and see what other readers acquired!



Synarchy, book 1 The Awakening by DCS
From Pump up your book promotion. My first ever blog tour and I am really excited, and hope I will do good. Stay tune for more, and my review will be up on June 12th

Thirteen bloodlines, The Brotherhood, fanatically loyal to their gods, the Anunnaki, have controlled the planet since his-story was written. In 1925 Stefano Vasco Terenzio, head of the Terenzio crime family makes a deal with the Anunnaki to solidify his control over the American Mafia. Clever and manipulative, Stefano’s true goal was to put his family in a position so one day they would be able to turn on their masters.



The Reincarnationist by MJ Rose
Won from My Friend Amy

After a bomb explosion nearly kills photojournalist Josh Ryder, he begins experiencing flashbacks—or, perhaps, memories—of events that seem to have happened to him 1,600 years earlier, in another lifetime.






Married by Mistake by Abby Gaines
From Novel thoughts and book talk

Do not adjust your set. That really was Casey Greene being jilted by her fiancé on live TV! And that really was Memphis's most eligible bachelor who stepped in to marry her instead.







The boy in the striped pyjamas by John Boyne
From Teddyree over @ The Eclectic Reader

1942...While exploring his new environment, Bruno meets another boy whose life and circumstances are very different to his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences.

    Oh no shocking ending, I could guess what that will mean. Great stories are usually shocking too.

    I kind if fell for the word mafia, and was sold. And fun to try new things, I really should come out from my comfort zone of reading.

  24. Lilly,
    You weren't a fan, I do like it so far, but I have a lot of pages to go, so it all depends on what happens now.

    Carolyn,
    Thanks :)
    Reincarnationist is shaping up nicely, and we'll see about Synarchy cos it does sound good.
