Below are the titles I received for review, purchased, or otherwise obtained last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists!
Night Swim by Jessica Keener (for review)
The Ruins of Us by Keija Parssinen (for review)
All I Did was Shoot My Man by Walter Mosley (for review)
The Lonely Polygamist by Bradley Udall (Gift)

I received Night Swim as well and can't wait to read it. The excerpts I've already read are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great variety of books. I love the title of the Walter Mosley book!
ReplyDeleteOMG Heather has been on my FOREVER to read The Lonely Polygamist. She loved that book so much.
ReplyDeleteHeehee, yes, I have! The Lonely Polygamist is one of my all time favorite books, and I am so glad you will be reading it! I am also going to be reading The Ruins of Us soon, and can't wait to hear what we both think of it. Great stack here today!
ReplyDeleteA nice mix of reads, The Last September caught my eye.
