How about a tiny book haul, you guys?

These are the books I was sent for consideration in the past week!

I can always tell when it is not the beginning or the tail end of a quarter, because the amount of books coming into the office slows way down.  Peak times, I get two to three books A DAY. It is almost more than I can keep up with, hence why the book haul videos have been sporadic lately. This past week, I was only sent two books.  That’s ok, though, because they both look GREAT!

Books mentioned in this video:

These are the two books I received this week. The first, a thriller. The second, a non-fiction.

More Details:

Still Mine by Amy Stuart

Release Date: 2016-08-16

A taut psychological thriller in the vein of The Good Girl by Mary Kubica.

Clare is on the run.

From her past, from her husband, and from her own secrets. When she turns up alone in the remote mining town of Blackmore asking about Shayna Fowles, the local girl who disappeared, everyone wants to know who Clare really is and what she’s hiding. As it turns out, she’s hiding a lot, including what ties her to Shayna in the first place. But everyone in this place is hiding something—from Jared, Shayna’s secretive ex-husband, to Charlie, the charming small-town drug pusher, to Derek, Shayna’s overly involved family doctor, to Louise and Wilfred, her distraught parents.

Did Shayna flee? Was she killed? Is it possible she’s still alive?

As Clare uncovers the mysteries around Shayna’s disappearance, she must confront her own demons, moving us deeper and deeper into the labyrinth of lies and making us question what it is she’s really running from. Twisting and electrifying, this is a get-under-your-skin thriller that will make you question what it means to lose yourself and find yourself in the most unlikely places.

Let Your Voice Be Heard: The Life and Times of Pete Seeger by Anita Silvey

Release Date: 2016-08-02

Pete Seeger, the iconic folk musician and multiple Grammy winner, discovered early in life that what he wanted to do was make music. His amazing career as singer, songwriter, and banjo player spanned seven decades, and included both low points (being charged with contempt of Congress) and highlights (receiving the Kennedy Center Honor from President Clinton).

An activist and protester, Seeger crusaded for the rights of labor, the rights of people of color, and the First Amendment right to let his voice be heard, and launched the successful campaign to clean up the Hudson River.

Book includes: Archival photographs and prints, source notes, bibliography, index.
