Mailbox Monday--January 16th



Happy Martin Luther King Day and welcome to Mailbox Monday which is hosted this month by At Home with Books. Below are the books I received this week:

1) Half Past Midnight by Jeff Brackett. Publisher's Summary. Half Past Midnight is the story of Leeland Dawcett and his family in the first days and years after the Doomsday War. It’s the story of how one man learns that survival sometimes just isn’t enough. It’s a story of friends who help each other through thick and thin, and the enemies who make life after Doomsday a living hell.

Thanks to the author!

2) Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress by Susan Jane Gilman. Publisher's Summary. From the author of "Kiss My Tiara" comes a funny and poignant collection of true stories about women coming of age that for once isn't about finding a date.

Thanks to Papberback Swap!

    Relationship stands above all others for survival and longevity the experts say. It looks like it will be proven in Half Past Midnight.

    Hi Kim,

    I love the title of the Susan Gilman book, although I don't really think that this is one for me.

    'Half Past Midnight' sounds like one I might try, as it sounds like it may be a scenario which is not quite as far-fetched as it may at first appear, given the state of world politics at the moment.

    Two very different genres to suit any mood, so I hope that enjoy them both in the course of time.

    Thanks for visiting Fiction Books and have a great week.

    Yvonne

    Both new to me, both sound good, and quite different. Half Past Midnight would be a good choice for the Dystopia Challenge.
