Mailbox Monday 20th March 2011

Mailbox Monday is a meme which was originally hosted by Marcia of The Printed Page. It is now on tour and this month's host is Library of Clean Reads. Please go and have a look and link up with this meme and tell fellow bloggers what came into your house this week.

Here is my Mailbox Monday for this week.

This was a win from Jennifer of I am a Reader not a Writer. Her book depository card gave me this book. I could not believe it when I found it in the Bargain Books section for under $10!!!




Continuing with my purchase of The Morland Dynasty books (only one review up) these four were also purchased from my church sale.

I have been lax in my reading this last week. Work got in the way and their has been more than a fair share of out of town work. That generally knocks my reading schedule as I come back home only fit to sleep! A visit to the Negombo orphanage on Saturday was important with a consignment of dry fish (the closest equivalent would be smoked fish) but this one is very salty
and savory - took 30 kgs there but it will finish very fast!!! A visit also to Thoduwawa (where our fishermen reside) and from where the dry fish originates actually so it was a busy week.

Hopefully this week will see me finish a Virginia Woolf and an absolutely (for me) unknown Sri Lankan author whose memoir of his life in Italy is funny and catchy and just what I need right now.

Happy reading everyone.

    I really like the covers for the Morland Dynasty. You're very lucky to have these church sales. Waiting for the local church book sales to start up in spring.
