MAILBOX MONDAY/IT'S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?


My Mailbox this week is quite heavy - courtesy of two wins and the library. This meme is being hosted for July by Mrs. Q Book Addict.


one of my favourite mystery/murder writers!


Have been trying to get one of her books so this was a good choice.

Then a series of Penelope Lively books!







An author I had almost given up of finding




Two wins! one came to me via the UK and I had to wait six months for it to come this way! Thanks Maria from Fly High.


The other was a win from Heavenali. Looking ever so much to reading this one.







This meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

The books I am reading right now are a Robin Pilcher (two book in one) and quite a chunkster. Almost finishing the second book and then I will choose one of the above.

  1. Nice mailbox, Mystica. I read (enjoyed) Bel Canto years ago. I also read the first in Donnelly's Rose series (The Tea Rose). Have a great week!

  3. I want to read Jennifer Donnelly's books for adults. I really enjoyed her YA book Revolution. The Penelope Lively books look good too. I haven't tried any of her books yet. Looks like you've got some great books this week. Congratulations on your contest wins!

  12. Busy in week in books! I have heard Bel Canto is good but haven't read it yet. I've only read one of Elizabeth George's books and found it a bit confusing. I should probably read a few of the earlier ones in the series first.

  17. What a great list of books, Mystica!

    I really need to dive into Elizabeth George's series. I've read one of her books so far and keep meaning to read more. I love British mysteries. I have Bel Canto on my TBR pile. Hopefully one day I'll get to it!

    Can't wait to hear what you think of all your new books!

  19. Hi Mystica,

    What a great mailbox this week, there isn't a single book here, that I wouldn't read.

    Penelope Lively books are always a popular choice for me and Elizabeth George's characters of 'Lynley' and 'Havers' are some of the best around. I haven't read too many of the books, but I always try to catch the television adaptations whenever they are re-run.

    I hope that you enjoy them all and thanks for sharing.
