Mailbox Monday and It's Monday What are you reading?

I will not be around till Wednesday unless I get access to the internet somewhere so this is why both the meme's are coming up early on Sunday morning here. Mailbox Monday originated from Marcia of The Printed Page. Presently on tour the host for August is Staci from Life in the Thumb.

It's Monday What are you reading? sponsored by Book Journey.

Both memes deal with what books came into your home and what you read/intend reading over the week. The links on both are fabulous as it gives you an insight into what is happening in the book reading world.

I had a fabulous mailbox. Jean Plaidy by the score and Penguin books as well. Unfortunately I do not seem to be able to get the plain, simple penguin covers I want!

Another Somerset Maugham to read next week. Christmas Holidays sounds good.

The only Georgette Heyer in the pile. False Colors.

Another one on Marie Antoinette. Like the Tudors something I will not get tired of.

I like the era WWI and WWII are favourite periods of mine. This cover says it all.

Also a film (which I have not seen) like the look of this one.

Another c lassic. Graham Greene The Quiet American. I am coming to the classics rather late but better late than never.

Mine is a penguin but this cover is also good.

Mine is a classic green and white penguin cover which I love.

The murders of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard dealt in this book.

The Razor's Edge read and reviewed a few days ago. This cover does not do the book justice at all. It seems so dull in comparison to the wonderful book it dealt with.

I will visit the links a bit late but looking forward to them all. I hope to get to some bookstores in Singapore as well as visit the second hand book shops in Bras Basah.
