Mailbox Monday: February 22, 2010: 02/21/10

Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week (checked out library books don't count, eBooks & audio books do). Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.

This week I received one book. The book was offered to me by the author.

With Hearts Courageous by Jon Steven Nappa:

The blurb on GoodReads describes the book as:

"Nappa novels offer action-oriented storylines with intensely fascinating characters moving through circumstances inspired by real-life historical events. Nappa novels are page-turners that inspire readers to seriously consider how they might live lives worth living. His novels are never didactic, but are crafted with an inspiring undercurrent that motivates the reader to think, feel, believe and dare.

"With Hearts Courageous tells the story of enigmatic Sir William Hillary, founder of the National Society for the Preservation of Life after Shipwreck. Despite several bold achievements, his life as the philanthropic Baronet ends impoverished with barely a vestige remaining of his founded organization. Amazingly, his legacy survives and his organization thrives today with thousands upon thousands of saved and aided lives.

"With his trademark flair for exciting physical action and a keen eye for capturing a sense of time and place in history, author/screenwriter Jon Nappa has once again crafted a page-turner about a real-life historical figure whose story has much to say to all who seek to live a life filled with purpose."

I'm not usually a big historical fiction reader, but this one looks fascinating.

Happy reading!

I'm also not much of a historical fiction reader but this one caught my eye.

This book sounds intriguing...not something I would necessarily read, but you make it sound like a "must-read."

I can't take credit for making it sound "must-read." I just copied the blurb from GoodReads.

I'm not accepting as many offers now as I have in previous years so I will probably have weeks where I have none in my box.
