As most of you know Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page. Thank you once again Marcia for hosting this weekly event. :)
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 in my mailbox I received:

From the jacket:
In The Culture of Excess: How America Lost Self-Control and Why We Need to Redefine Success, Slosar portrays an America where the drive to succeed and the fear of missing out manifested itself not only in self-entitled corporate fraud, but in everything from sharp rises in obesity and cosmetic medical procedures to equally troubling increases in eating disorders, panic attacks and outbreaks of uncontrollable rage.Wow! I started reading this one and it is very interesting so far.

I've never read any of these you have, but do enjoy them all! :D
Looks like a great list of books. Happy reading.
These all look so interesting, especially the one about Beethoven. Thanks for sharing your list! :)
The Culture of Excess sounds like something we should all read.
I'm intrigued by the Mark Twain book. He never was an author I particularly enjoyed, but I visited his house as a child on a school field trip and he was a very interesting person. Enjoy your new books!
