Mailbox Monday - 14th February 2011





I had a mid week Mailbox Monday (I couldn't wait) so there are quite a few books pending from that lot but I do have another lot of books which I picked up from another second hand store.

I picked up a few hardcovers( the first four shown below) which are also quite old. I just liked the sound of the titles - I have not read any reviews of these books before so am not sure how they are going to turn out!

Dinner at Antoine's - Frances Parkinson Keyes



In my path - Halliday Sutherland

Shannon's Way by A J Cronin

The Small Woman by Alan Burgess

The next four are smaller books - after the Swan Thieves I got tired of huge tomes!
Margaret Drabble (my second book from this author) The Garrick Year

Good Wives - Louisa May Alcott
A room with a view - E.M. Forster

George du Maurier - Trilby
That is my Mailbox. Would really appreciate your views on this lot of books.

    I agree with Mary - A Room with a view was wonderfully done. Enjoy all your new reads - you got a nice collection. Happy Valentines day tomorrow!

    I still sigh with loving memories for EM Forster's A Room with a View.
    I sigh more when I think of the Merchant Ivory movie with Helena Bonham Carter & Julian Sands. Well made ... way way back in the early 80's I think. Really well done.

    Nice collection of books and sighing at Room with a View.

    I have one by Frances Parkinson Keyes called I, the King. I think it's about a Spanish king. I haven't read it yet.

    I read The Garrick Year a long time ago...loved it, though.

    I read something by A. J. Cronin, but not this one...

    These are all making me nostalgic! Hope you enjoy them.

    I can't recall if I've heard of that Louisa May Alcott book before, but I am jealous either way! I love her books :)

    I don't really remember "A room with a view" but I do remember enjoying it when I read it more than 12 years ago. Enjoy your books.
