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



After a drought of several weeks without any books I had quite a few books coming in. 

The Promise of Provence: A Novel

This was a win from the author herself. Am halfway through this one. After Peter Mayle made me fall in love with Provence, any book on this part of the world draws me in. 

Front Cover

Read and reviewed this one already. Greater part of the story set in Sri Lanka which added to my interest.

Prep


Have read this author before. Her debut novel. Described as a coming of age story.


Modern Britain. Up my street. Waiting to get into this one.

The Red House

After the Dog in the Night this one was a definite choice for me. Looking forward to this one.


Just One Damned Thing After Another

My second win from Good Reads. The first book never turned up. Lost in the mail I presume.


The Husband's Secret

I never thought I'd get to this one for at least a couple of years and then out of the blue someone coming out from England brought this as a gift for a friend. I've grabbed it as she will take ages to get to it. I'll finish first and then pass it around!

A very satisfying pile of books.


Hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

Reading two of the above! The Promise of Provence has just a hundred pages to go to finish and also started on the Prep book.

    I really liked The Husband's Secret. I'm glad you get the opportunity to read it earlier than you thought you would :)

    I've heard good things about Prep, White Teeth, and The Red House. I hope you enjoy them!

    Oowee some great looking books, the Provence cover makes me want to look it up on Goodreads, covers are the first enticement when I see a book by an author I don't know.

    I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy The Husband's Secret, it was great on audio! Dog in the Night has been on my TBR stack for a while, need to make time for it.
    Have a great week and happy reading :)

    I enjoyed The Husband's Secret. I could not bring myself to complete The Dog In The Night, even though it had strong reviews. I hope you enjoy all of your books.
