Books in the mail:
Night Blindness by Susan Strecker – This one is coming out in paperback later this month- have any of you read it yet? It’s about a woman who returns home after several years away to face the secrets buried in the past.
Sweet Madness by Trisha Leaver and Lindsay Currie – This is a fictional retelling of the Lizzie Borden murders from the pov of Lizzie’s maid Bridget.
The Summer of Chasing Mermaids by Sarah Ockler – I won this from Ginger at GReads in her Sweet Summertime Reads Giveaway. Thanks, Ginger! This one is a spin on The Little Mermaid and is about a girl trying to find her voice again. I need to read this one soon to drag out summer a little longer.
Slasher Girls & Monster Boys stories selected by April Genevieve Tucholke – This YA horror anthology features stories by Leigh Bardugo, Marie Lu, Jay Kristoff, and many more.
Audiobooks:
Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas, read by Elizabeth Evans – Book four in the Throne of Glass series is a whopper! I’m listening to this 20-houur audiobook now.
The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich, read by Charlotte Parry and Christian Coulson – Can you tell we’re getting close to Halloween? This psychological thriller is about a deadly fire at a high school, and the set of twins that may be involved. Oh, and the twins share one body and one of them is missing. Creepy!
Review eBooks:
All Together Now by Gill Hornby – A small English town bands together to save the community choir – it sounds really quirky and cute.
The Smell of Other People’s Houses by Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock – This YA historical fiction is set in 1970 Alaska and is about the lives of four teens whose lives intersect.
Thanks so much to: GReads, Hachette Audio, St. Martin’s Press, Merit Press, Little, Brown, and Penguin Random House.

Silver’s Reviews
My Mailbox Monday
Great haul, all new to me. I’m curious about Night Blindness and The Smell of Other People’s Houses. Enjoy! Thanks for visiting my blog, and have a great week.
I hesitate to read your review on Harriet Wolf till I read that. But I am glad that you liked it. 🙂
Night Blindness sounds interesting and I like the cover.
I gather you have enjoyed the Throne of Glass books since you are starting book 4. I will probably end up reading them on Audible if I like the first one.
The Dead House does sound creepy. 🙂
I almost selected All Together Now. I will watch for your thoughts.
BTW – the link from Mailbox Monday took me to Blogloving twice. Then I googled your site and it came up on a Jul 24 post and home wouldn’t let me get to the current date. Something glitchy maybe?
Have a good week!
Thanks Martha- looks like I entered the wrong link…oops! I asked to have it updated- thanks for alerting me 🙂
Al Together Now sounds good!
I haven’t heard of Sweet Madness before but now I am definitely interested in it. I also need to catch up on the Throne of Glass series.
These are all new to me. I’ve seen Night Blindness on a few other blogs this week. It sounds good – I must have missed it when it was first published last year.

I love books of known stories told from a different point of view, so Sweet Madness sounds great.
