Mailbox Monday -- June 7 (The BEA Edition)

Welcome to my first Mailbox Monday post in over a month, as I took a break from organizing my books after my sister-in-law passed away and then I was busy preparing for the NYC trip.  Mailbox Monday is the weekly meme hosted by Marcia from The Printed Page, where book lovers share the titles they received for review, purchased, or otherwise obtained over the past week.

I'm sure you're all wondering which books I took home from BEA.  I had a great time wandering the aisles and checking out all the new books, but I didn't take too many home with me, partly because I didn't want to pay to ship a lot of books and also because there's no shortage of reading material in my home.  Here's what I got:

The Year of Goodbyes by Debbie Levy (signed)
Draw the Dark by Ilsa J. Bick
The Kulak's Daughter by Gabriele Goldstone (signed)
Ghost Hunt: Chilling Tales of the Unknown by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson (bound sample chapters, signed)
Annexed by Sharon Doger
The One That I Want by Allison Winn Scotch (signed)
The Forgotten Highlander: My Unbelievable True Story of Survival by Alistair Urquhart
Sourland by Joyce Carol Oates

I also brought home a few books for Jerry:

Pariah by Bob Fingerman (signed; I finished this one already and will be posting a review soon!)
