Mailbox Monday #164

Mailbox, Mailbox – just a couple of things this week.  Two great looking non-fiction titles and one timely, whim purchase.

• Lincoln’s Boys: John Hay, John Nicolay, and the War for Lincoln’s Image by Joshua Zeitz (received from publisher for review) – In the books I have read about Lincoln, I have always found Hay and Nicolay to be interesting and valuable to Lincoln. 
• Train: Riding the Rails that Created the Modern World from the Trans-Siberian to the Southwest Chief by Tom Zoellner (received from the publisher for review) – I am a fan of micro-histories and trains were so important to the expansion of many countries that I thought this could be an interesting read. 
• Tess by Antoinette Stockenberg (free download from Amazon) – I was looking up books set in Newport, Rhode Island for a post that will go up tomorrow and came across this one.  Originally released under a different title, it was divided up into four separate stories, of which, Tess is the first.  Since it was free, I figured I would give it a shot.

That’s it for me, how about you?

Mailbox Monday has returned to its home base blog. You can visit the site to see what everyone received this week!
