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.

    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!

    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!

    Pretty covers. My favorite read last week was Hereville: How Mirka Met a Meteorite by Barry Deutsch which I read via NetGalley. Please come see what else I'm reading.

    Wonderful selection there. I have been meaning to get myself a Penelope Lively title for some time now... she sounds like an author I would really enjoy.

    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.

    Have you read the first two books before THE WILD ROSE? Loved them.

    After reading State of Wonder last year, I've been wanting to read Bel Canto. I promise myself that I will one day. Hope you have a great week.

    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!

    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.

    Yvonne
