Mailbox Monday, created by Marcia at To Be Continued, formerly The Printed Page, has gone through a few incarnations from a permanent home with Marcia to a tour of other blogs.
Now, it has its own permanent home at its own blog.
To check out what everyone has received over the last week, visit the blog and check out the links. Leave yours too.
Also, each week, Leslie, Vicki, and I will share the Books that Caught Our Eye from everyone’s weekly links.
Here’s what I received:
1. Going Over by Beth Kephart from Chronicle Books for review before the April 1 publication.
In the early 1980s Ada and Stefan are young, would-be lovers living on opposite sides of the Berlin Wall–Ada lives with her mother and grandmother and paints graffiti on the Wall, and Stefan lives with his grandmother in the East and dreams of escaping to the West.
2. The Rebel Pirate by Donna Thorland for review in March.
1775, Boston Harbor. James Sparhawk, Master and Commander in the British Navy, knows trouble when he sees it. The ship he’s boarded is carrying ammunition and gold into a country on the knife’s edge of war. Sparhawk’s duty is clear: confiscate the cargo, impound the vessel and seize the crew. But when one of the ship’s boys turns out to be a lovely girl, with a loaded pistol and dead-shot aim, Sparhawk finds himself held hostage aboard a Rebel privateer.
Sarah Ward never set out to break the law. Before Boston became a powder keg, she was poised to escape the stigma of being a notorious pirate’s daughter by wedding Micah Wild, one of Salem’s most successful merchants. Then a Patriot mob destroyed her fortune and Wild played her false by marrying her best friend and smuggling a chest of Rebel gold aboard her family’s ship.
What did you receive?
The Rebel Pirate catches my eye but I bet both will be good. Enjoy!

I love reading Beth Kephart’s blog but I have yet to read one of her books, even though I have a few on my shelves. This one sounds good too! Happy reading!

Serena´s last blog post ..Still Love in Strange Places by Beth Kephart
Hi Serena,
I don’t read historical fiction very often, however I am intrigued by Donna’s ‘Renegades Of the Revolution’ series, especially as it sounds as though the two stories to date can be read as stand alones, so I shan’t have to find a copy of the first book, in order to enjoy the second.
I am also intrigued by her sudden move to historical fiction, when her debut novel definitely fell firmly into the genre of fantasy, which wouldn’t have interested me at all.
I hope that you enjoy both your new books and have a great week,
Yvonne

Yvonne,
I had no idea that she had other books outside the historical fiction series. As far as I know these can be read as stand alone books.

Thanks for checking out this week’s books.
Serena´s last blog post ..Mailbox Monday #258
Going Over is on my list. I am fascinated by stories set around the Berlin Wall…partially because my eldest son now lives in East Berlin.
Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.

I wonder how much of the wall and the post-WWII division still exists in those former blocs
