Mailbox Monday: Vacation Harvest

Denis and I spent Monday through Friday down in Bisbee, Arizona, so there wasn't much opportunity to send books to new homes...just two when I took my Paperback Swap account off vacation hold when we got back to Phoenix. That didn't stop the books from coming in, though--especially since I knew there was a book shop right on Main Street! I received three books from Paperback Swap and an additional four from my foray into the Bisbee shopping district. Here's the scoop:

• Missing White Girl by Jeffrey J. Mariotte (Bisbee). Mariotte is a Bisbee author. From the back of the book: "Lulu Lavender has been kidnapped. Her family has been brutally murdered. With the sheriff's office consumed by a high-profile case of a missing white teenager from a prominent family, it falls to Patrol Lieutenant Buck Shelton to investigate Lulu's abduction."
• Written in Blood by Caroline Graham (PBS), the fifth in the Inspector Barnaby mystery series set in southern England.
• High Lonesome: Tales of Bisbee and Southern Arizona by Jim Burnett (Bisbee), a memoir about growing up in the Bisbee area.
• Bisbee High Grade by Jim Burnett (Bisbee), a second volume of memoirs about Bisbee.
• Tsunami by Gordon Gumpertz (PBS), about the possibility of a massive tsunami occurring which is large enough to wipe out the Southern California coast.
• Bune to Bisbee and Back, A Swedish Family's Pilgrimage 1883-2004 by Wes Patience (Bisbee). As you can tell I'm interested in the history and people of Bisbee. (These aren't the only books about the area in my library!) This book is huge and gives Drood a run for its money!
  
• Grand Canyon: Solving the Earth's Grandest Puzzle by James Lawrence Powell (PBS), which goes into the geology of the Grand Canyon. Geology is one of my interests.

There you have it--what came into the house last week. If you'd like to see what other people received in their mailboxes, click on the graphic at the top of this post to be taken to Mailbox Monday's home: Marcia's The Printed Page!
