Mailbox Monday/It's Monday! What are you reading?



The following books were received by me this week.

The Dress Shop of Dreams: A Novel

This came from Blogging for Books.


The Missing One

This one was from Edelweiss (from their download section).






Together and Apart by Margaret Kennedy was from Open Library and a recommendation by Cosy Books. I took the fanciest image I could find!

Reading several books at the same time. 

The Wharf of Chartrons - finding it a bit slow in the middle though the subject is very intriguing. All about wine growing with of course feuds and under cutting which I did not know applied to this industry!

Also started Family by Caroline Leavitt.

Despite being rather busy I have surprisingly been able to read quite a bit.

  2. Hi Mystica,

    A great and diverse selection of books for you this week.

    All sound good in their own way, however if I had to choose my personal favourite synopsis and one to add to my own 'Want To Read' list, it would have to be 'The Missing One' by Lucy Atkins. I do love a good psychological suspense story!

    Also, this is the first time I have come across Edelwiess, so I am off to find out a bit more about them.

    Thanks for sharing and have a good week,

    Yvonne

  10. Mystica, you've got some great books there. I'm currently reading "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" by Alan Sillitoe. I used to read his books many years ago.

    The Missing One is really catching my eye. The title and the cover are very alluring.
