Happy Sunday, valentines! Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. It’s been unseasonably hot here and we’re enjoying a long holiday weekend. Here are the books that have made their way to me this week:
The Forbidden Orchid by Sharon Biggs Waller – In this 1861 romantic adventure, Elodie and her father leave England for China to find an elusive orchid and save their family from financial ruin.
Some of the Parts by Hannah Barnaby – Tallie is struggling with grief after the death of her brother, and wants to track down his organ transplant recipients.
Borderline by Mishell Baker – This urban fantasy is the first book in the Arcadia Project trilogy. Millie lost the use of her legs after a failed suicide attempt and gets recruited to join the Arcadia Project – an organization that polices the comings and goings of a supernatural parallel reality.
The Return of The Witch by Paula Brackston – This is the second book in the historical Witch’s Daughter series, and I hear it can be read as a standalone.
And, here are some new arrivals to my digital mailbox:
Dirty by Kylie Scott – In the first book of the Dive Bar series, Kylie is heartbroken when she discovers her fiancé with his best man. Vaughn helps her pick up the pieces.
Fly With Me by Chanel Cleeton – The first book of the Wild Aces series is about the love affair of a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot and the clothing boutique owner he meets in Vegas.
The Railwayman’s Wife by Ashley Hay – In the aftermath of World War II, Anikka tries to put her life back together after suffering a devastating loss.
All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda – This thriller is getting lots of hype – it’s about the disappearance of two women, a decade apart, and it’s told in reverse.
Keep Me Posted by Lisa Beazley – Two sisters that live far from each other promise to keep in touch the old-fashioned way, by writing actual letters. But one sister posts the letters online and they go viral, to the social media-phobe sister’s chagrin.
The Art of Not Breathing by Sarah Alexander – It’s been five years since Elsie lost her twin brother Eddie in a swimming accident, and with the help of a boy she vows to get to the bottom of the incident.
Wild Swans by Jessica Spotswood – Spotswood’s first contemporary is a coming of age about a girl struggling to live up to her family legacy while making her own choices.
The Shadow Hour by Melissa Grey – The second book in The Girl at Midnight trilogy continues Echo’s adventures to defeat the dragon prince.
What’s new in your mailbox?
The Forbidden Orchid is my kind of book! But all your books look good. Such a great milbox!
Let’s see – I like the looks/sound of The Forbidden Orchid and Borderline especially. Others look good too. Enjoy all your reading!
Wow! Looks like a great mailbox! Enjoy!
I also have a copy of Borderline, which I hope to start soon, and I’m so envious of The Shadow Hour! I need to find a copy of that one, stat! Enjoy your books!
Hope it cools off for you. We just came through a few days of frigid cold. Makes the 23° F I just shoveled snow in seem almost balmy 🙂 Enjoy your new books!
Enjoy your books! I see several that appeal to me, like All the Missing Girls and Some of the Parts. Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

My Mailbox Monday
What a great haul! I’ve been wanting to read All the Missing Girls once it comes out (it’s not out yet, is it?) so I’m definitely looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.
Your last four books all look interesting, and I love the covers for Wild Swan and The Art of Not Breathing.
Happy reading!
All are new to me! I hope you enjoy all of them.
Hi Lucy,
What a great selection of books you have acquired this week and I love the way you present the post, grouping the similar covers together, it looks so good!
I already have ‘The Railwayman’s Wife’ on my own list, however from your selection, I have also decided to add ‘All The Missing Girls’, which as you say, has recieved some excellent ratings and reviews.
I really do enjoy a good thriller 🙂
Thanks for sharing and enjoy the rest of your week,
Yvonne
