Mailbox Monday (February 9)


I received two books in the mail today (nothing else all last week):

Coventry by Helen Humphreys from Harper Collins Canada
Who by Fire by Diana Spechler from Wendy (Literary Feline) at Musings of a Bookish Kitty (thanks, Wendy!)

What did you find in your mailbox this past week? For other Mailbox Monday posts, head over to Marcia’s blog, The Printed Page.

  11. Thanks, everybody, for your comments!

    I must admit my interest in Coventry stems in part from reading To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis. It's SF, but it involves time travel back to Coventry during WW2 (or maybe just after) and I've always wondered if she got her facts right about what happened to the cathedral. (I presume she did!)
