Mailbox Monday- December 14

Mailbox Monday
is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page.
We share what books that we found in our mailboxes last week.


Through the Heart by Kate Morgenroth
** This one just showed up one day, I didn't request it so how it got here is a mystery. But it sounds like a great read!!

Synopsis:
As Nora and Timothy take turns telling their sides of the story, the reader is caught in the net of their love, and the chilling murder that results. With big questions of love, fidelity, filial responsibility and the role of fate, Through the Heart is a page-turning love story with a jaw dropping twist readers won't soon forget!



Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde
** Review copy courtesy of publisher
I think this one is going to be a different read for me...but I'm looking forward to it. Has anyone read it yet?

Synopsis:
Stunningly imaginative, very funny, tightly plotted, and with sly satirical digs at our own society, this novel is for those who loved Thursday Next but want to be transported somewhere equally wild, only darker; a world where the black and white of moral standpoints have been reduced to shades of grey.
