Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at A Girl and Her Books. This month it is hosted by Martha of Reviews By Martha's Bookshelf.
I received the following, thanks to the authors/publicists:
Perla by Carolina De Robertis: Perla Correa grew up a privileged only child in Buenos Aires, with a cold, polished mother and a straitlaced naval officer father, whose profession she learned early on not to disclose in a country still reeling from the abuses perpetrated by the deposed military dictatorship. Perla understands that her parents were on the wrong side of the conflict, but her love for her papá is unconditional. But when Perla is startled by an uninvited visitor, she begins a journey that will force her to confront the unease she has suppressed all her life, and to make a wrenching decision about who she is, and who she will become.
The Accused by John Grisham: Theo Boone might only be thirteen, but he's already uncovered key evidence in a groundbreaking murder trial and discovered the truth behind his best friend's abduction. Now with the latest unfolding of events in Strattenburg, Theo will face his biggest challenge yet.

I always enjoy Grisham books...and I absolutely adored The Good Father. Hope you are enjoying it, too.
Thanks for sharing....
Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST
Both of your new books look great! I read a fabulous review of Perla.
I hope I get to Perla as it sounds intriguing. I also like to see what you think of The Good Father.
Sadness about the "mostly trash!" part~ hopefully Perla can make up for it!
My mailbox.
