In the last week or so I’ve received a bunch of books in my mail box.  I ordered a used copy of The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters from Alibris and was anxiously awaiting it last week.  My son texted me one afternoon and said I had a box in the mail and he thought it was probably that book.  When I got home he handed it to me but I knew right away it was not the pkg. It was a medium size box with four books inside from Zoe Luderitz at Little, Brown and Company!  I was delighted. (picture me jumping with glee)

Inside I found:

1. Bird in a Box by Andrea Davis Pinkney-It is 1936.  America is in the middle of the Great Depression, and three children-Otis, Willie and Hibernia-are about to become friends.  (a snippet from the back cover)

2. I’ll Be There by Holly Goldbert Sloan-This is an innovative portrait of two brothers who cross paths with a family that will change their lives forever.  (from publicity letter)

3. The Time-Traveling Fashionista by Bianca Turetsky– When Louise Lambert receives a mysterious invitation to a traveling vintage sale in the mail, her normal life in suburban Connecticut is magically transformed into a time-travel adventure.  (back cover)

4. Bitter End by Jennifer Brown-The second novel in the Hate List series tackles abusive relationships in one teen’s life.  (publicity letter)

I also received a nonfiction title, Astro, The Steller Sea Lion by Jeanne Walker Harvey, from the author-love to get those big manilla envelopes.
