Mailbox Monday is a weekly event where we share our latest book arrivals. Link up and find new mailboxes to stalk at the Mailbox Monday blog. I post my mailbox hauls about twice a month.
Here are some of the books that have made their way to me this past week:
Boss Babes: A Coloring & Activity Book for Grown-Ups by Michelle Volansky from Workman Publishing – This adorable coloring/activity book features female role models to color, such as J.K. Rowling, Laverne Cox, and Michelle Obama. You can also do activities like a Diva word search, Beyoncé crossword, break the glass ceiling maze, or decorate Lady Gaga’s shoes. Love it!
Color Blind by Sheila Sobel from Merit Press – After her father’s death, April goes to live with an aunt in New Orleans, where she finds out a secret about her past.
The Secret Life of Lincoln Jones by Wendelin Van Draanen from Penguin Random House – Lincoln is a new kid in town who keeps to himself, preferring the company of the fictional friends in his notebook. He slowly learns how to let people into his life. This sounds really sweet!
The Next by Stephanie Gangi from Macmillan – This ghost story is about a woman out for revenge, and death won’t keep her from getting back at her ex.
A Shoe Addict’s Christmas by Beth Harbison from Macmillan – This Shoe Addict-series holiday novella is a twist on A Christmas Carol and is about a woman who gets locked into the department store she works at on Christmas Eve.
The Best Possible Answer by E. Katherine Kottaras from Macmillan – Vivi is a high school senior who is under a lot of academic pressure. When her life starts to unravel she starts to forgive her imperfections.

What’s new in your mailbox?
I have The Last Good Girl…I’m eager to read it. I’m curious about Color Blind. Enjoy your books, and thanks for visiting my blog.
That coloring book looks awesome!
Listen to the Maria Semple first! I’ve heard good things.
I like the idea of The Shoe Addict’s Christmas – I could definitely do that 🙂 Provided there were books too!
I got Boss Babes and The Secret Life of Lincoln Jones too. Boss Babes looks so fun and Lincoln Jones sounds really good. Enjoy all your new reads!
Looking forward to starting The Next this week!
Looks like you have some great new books.
Very nice mix of books.
I love the title: The Best Possible Answer.
ENJOY your reading week.
