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


My last Mailbox Monday was done on 16th February - so I am looking forward to this post this week.  Being in Melbourne allows me access to so many books - my problem is trying to see how many books I can squeeze into an eighteen day trip.

The books with me this Monday are 


A beautiful English girl disappears on the island of Corsica. It is not a normal kidnapping. Implicated are the PM of Britain. This is a thriller.


The Professor of Poetry


This was a book I read about on Cornflower Books. Its slightly slower reading but I think I need this in the midst of very exciting reads!


An Echo in the Bone (Outlander, #7)

This is a chunkster and I need to get going on this soon. Has to be exciting.

Sisters Of Mercy

This is the only book which I picked out which I haven't read a review of so I hope it surprises me.

Family Storms (Storms, #1)


I've seen reviews of this author's books and have never got to read one. Almost done with this one. Slightly surreal and I can see it ending happily but its an easy read.

Hot in Melbourne as well. I seem to take the hot weather with me. Was hoping for cool and chill!!!

    Daniel Silva's novel looks interesting since I like reading political thrillers. I hope you have a very good time in Melbourne.

    Visiting the children sounds the ticket right now Mystica.
    All good titles albeit I'll skip V.C. Andrews (a favourite of my teenagers a long time ago), just not for me.
    Wishing you a happy stay in Aussie land!

    Nice selections. I'll be interested in your thoughts on An Echo in the Bone. I stopped reading the series after Drums of Autumn.
    Hope your week was good.
