After weeks of empty mailboxes this week's one is a nice one
I also have five other books due on Wednesday - all recommendations from the book blogs.
This meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.
The book I am currently reading and almost done with is The Paris Wife. Intriguing with history and details of Hemingway's life.
Melbourne is freezing cold (for me) but its a change certainly from Colombo.
Mystica, I'd be interested in reading your review of THE PARIS WIFE, the only book here that I can find some resonance with on account of Hemingway. GONE MISSING looks promising too.
ReplyDeleteThe last I read, the monsoon still hadn't arrived in Sri Lanka, so I think it's going to be a long wait for us up north of the subcontinent, with scorching temps of 36-degree Celsius and above.
What lovely books - I really enjoyed Kate Lord Brown's The Beauty Chorus.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Oh, I'm so jealous of your mailbox this week! I really want to read The Perfume Garden. Enjoy your new books.
ReplyDeleteHow can I pass up The Perfume Garden?! I can almost smell it from here!
ReplyDeleteHere's my It's Monday!
They all look lovely...I enjoyed The Paris Wife.
ReplyDeleteGone Missing looks good. Enjoy them all! And thanks for visiting my blog.
They all look good to me! I love that cover of Prodigal Summer!
ReplyDeleteHi Mystica,
ReplyDeleteYou must be really pleased with your great new arrivals this week, they all sound amazing, although 'The Paris Wife' probably isn't one that I would read.
If I had to choose one from your selection, for my own toppling reading pile, it would have to be 'Gone Missing'. For one thing I love a great thriller and for another, we have been getting several programmes showng over here in the UK just lately, discussing various aspects of the Amish community. This has opened wide a whole new way of life, that few of us Brits even knew existed, let alone which we can relate to, so a book which mixes together both fact and fiction about their beliefs and lifestyle, would be well worth reading.
Have a good week,
Yvonne
You got some nice books. I have been seeing The Paris Wife around on a number of blogs today. Come see my Monday Report. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these but have heard of them. Some good books.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cover on The Perfume Garden. It's been cold early even here in Brisbane. Happy reading and enjoy your time in Melbourne.
ReplyDeleteNice group of title. I enjoy Barbara Kingsolver but haven't read Prodigal Summer yet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great stash of books! I'm especially intrigued by The Perfume Garden. The cover is awesome.
ReplyDeleteGone Missing was good. It is always nice to get a book filled mailbox!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Prodigal Summer. It takes place near where I live. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteThat certainly is a nice mailbox! I loved Prodigal Summer - hope you'll enjoy it too. Happy reading this week!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed The Paris Wife - hope you do too!

These look great. I've had Prodigal Summer on my TBR shelf for a while. It is one I hope to get to this year.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Prodigal Summer. It's not quite The Poisonwood Bible, but pretty good. Hope you review it!
ReplyDeleteI listened to The Paris Wife and enjoyed it quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteThey all look good, Gone Missing would be my pick
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week,

Great books! I loved The Perfume Garden. I'd be interested in your thoughts on it when you read it.
ReplyDeleteProdigal Summer is a wonderful book--one of my favorites so far this year.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books--it's always nice to have a good selection to pull from.
Those all look really good. I'm currently reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer and Anna Karenina by Tolstoy.
ReplyDeleteThose all look wonderful. Happy reading!
