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


Mailbox Monday hosted for the month of April  by Cindy's Love of Books


Hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

It was again bonanza time for me. A very good, heavy, fat mailbox!

The description on this book is lyrical. Celebrating the wildness of nature and human love set amongst the mountains of Appalachia.

A very small book involving family. I still cannot see the romance bit of the title but this is described as vintage Brookner.

Again relationships and complicated! I think I'd like this one.


I picked this one up because it has a section of it set in Venice. Could not resist it.


After Brookner this is a necessity - engrossing, suspenseful and laugh out loud funny!

This was a win from Books, Belles and Beaux! Thank you Joanne.



The other was a win from Quirky Girls Read. Thanks for the win.  This is a book I am looking forward to very much.



Right now I am reading a memoir of Edwina Mountbatten.  Halfway through and I think the best is yet to come.



After five days holiday it is going to be tough getting into the grind of work! tomorrow is going to be a hectic day, hence the early post.

  1. I love Kingsolver but haven't read Prodigal Summer yet, can't wait to see what you think of it. And the Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott looks great too.

  6. I haven't read anything by Anita Brookner or Barbara Kingsolver yet though I have read a few of Jennifer Weiner's books. It is nice to read something funny in between serious books. I've also got The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott though I much prefer the cover of your book to mine. I still need to read it.

  24. Hi Mystique,

    What a fantastic haul of books this week, I was spoiled for choice, what was not to like?

    I have never read anything by Anita Brookner and have heard good things about her work, so those were the two of your books that I chose to list for my future reading.

    Enjoy them all,

    Yvonne
