Mailbox Monday (51)

Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists. Mailbox Monday travels to a new host each month and for the month of October our host is Book Dragon's Lair.

Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg
I'm sure you've probably heard of this one before, but if not... where have you been? It's written by COO of Facebook and is somewhat of a self-help/memoir/career advice/feminist manifesto all rolled into one. I'm about halfway through with it already, and am really enjoying myself. It's our book club pick this month, and already I know we're going to have a ton of things to say about it.

For Review from Virtual Author Book Tours
Head Games Erika Rummel
This takes place in Argentina in 1979, and I believe is part mystery part romance. I'm really not too sure what this one's about, but I guess I'll be finding out soon.

What's did you find in your mailbox this week?

    I haven't been interested in reading Lean In despite all the hype around it. I'll be interested to hear what you think though. You might sway me :)

      So far I'm liking it, but I can't say that it's life changing. But do think it's worth reading if your ever in need of a little extra inspiration.

    Hi Shoshanah,

    I am not sure that either of your books this week, are for me, although of course I hope that you enjoy them both.

    I do love the cover art on the 'Goodreads' version of 'Head Games' though.

    Have a great week,

    Yvonne

    Lean In does look like a good book club pick. And Head Games sounds intense. I haven't heard too much about either book yet, so I'm interested to hear what you think. Happy reading!

    Never heard of LEAN IN before your post today. I hope it is good, but I see you said it isn't life changing.

    Have a great week.

      You were actually part of the reason I suggested it to my book club in the first place. I remember seeing you talk about it and finally decide to read it. SO thanks for the inspiration!!
