Mailbox Monday



Thanks for joining me for Mailbox Monday! MM was created by Marcia, who graciously hosted it for a long, long time, before turning it into a touring event. Mailbox Monday has now returned to its permanent home where you can link to your MM post.

I got a couple of books last week that go together:



Reagan: The Life by H.W. Brands

I don't know how anything can top the two-volume Reagan biography by Steve Hayward, but I'm willing to give this new one a shot. It is generating good buzz for being accessible and engaging, so it sounds like it will be enjoyable.



-- The Billion Dollar Spy by David E. Hoffman

Who can resist Cold War spy history that reads like the hottest fiction? Based on newly-released CIA documents and personal interviews, Pulitzer-winner David Hoffman tells the story of the Soviet spy who worked with the CIA's Moscow station in the last years of the Cold War.
