In My Mailbox – October 16, 2011
In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by The Story Siren where we show what books have found a new home with us!
Illuminate by Aimee Agresti – this line of the synopsis sold me “With the help of a mysterious book, she uncovers a network of secret passageways from the hotel’s”. I love secrets and stories centered around mystery…and books about books!
The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman – an adult book that caught my eye, more secrets! “Hoffman delivers her most masterful work yet—one that draws on her passion for mythology, magic, and archaeology and her inimitable understanding of women. ” What a combo, I can’t wait to get started!
What goodies did you get this week?
In case you missed it, last Thursday was the 125th anniversary of The Night Circus! To celebrate I interviewed the author, Erin Morgenstern and have a copy to giveaway. Click here to check it out.

I love the cover for Illuminate! Great IMM! Happy Reading!
Both of these looks amazing. Such pretty covers on both. Alice Hoffman has always been one of my favorite authors.
Your description of Illuminate reminds me of a Nancy Drew mystery. It looks really great. So does The Dovekeepers. I love mythology. Can't wait for your review!
