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

Mailbox Monday is being hosted by Leah of Amused by Books - for September it is being hosted by Serena of Savvy Verse and Wit.

I am linking my post with It's Monday What are you reading? hosted by Book Journey.

Please visit both blogs to get to know what is the latest in the book reading world. It also adds to your TBR piles but that is another story.

I have no new books to add to my Mailbox and this will give me an opportunity to read whatever I have.

For this week I hope to read :

Legionary  This is slow going. Set during the height of the Roman empire an era I know very little about. Hope to finish this as well.

River of Smoke - am keeping this for the next completely free day because I do know that I will not be able to put it down once I start. Amitav Ghosh does that for me.

A life in London - Monica Dickens - I started this with much enthusiasm as it deals with "everyday" lives. This is a theme I enjoy very much. Have to get back to it this week.

This coming week is going to be a rushed one. I have a trip planned mid week to Sigiriya - I love the trip and the sightseeing of the countryside which is absolutely beautiful but it does eat into working time!!
