The following books came this week:
These came courtesy of Netgalley.
These were from edelweiss
The meme is from Sheila at Book Journey.
Reading two books almost alongside each other!
Vanessa and her sister - historical fiction and good. Lots of reference to Leonard Woolf who was Government Agent in Jaffna, Sri Lanka during the time of the British in Sri Lanka.
The Diary of a Pissed Off Flight Attendant. I am almost thinking of giving this up because it is very off hand kind of writing. Almost as if the writer has a pleasure in giving a comeuppance to anyone!
Its mid day here on a Monday and already I feel oppressed with the list of things to do!
Abandon! Abandon! Go for it.
ReplyDeleteHope your next book is better.
Mystica, I would be interested in knowing about your views on Priya Parmar's novel. The Indian book trade is flooded with new-age fiction.
ReplyDeleteI hope your day gets better Mystica, Mondays are so daunting!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,

The book that is annoying you right now would probably annoy me. I hope your day improves.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could do that book either. Your new ones look good though!
ReplyDeleteI've been curious about Vanessa and her Sister and will watch for that review.
ReplyDeleteYou should drop the flight attendant book if it's bothering you.
Vanessa and Her Sister sounds like a fascinating book.
ReplyDeleteMy rule is that if I don't like a book (or the main character) I quit reading it even if it is one I've requested for review. I do try to give the book a chance but I'd rather not devote free time to reading something I don't enjoy.
Good luck with your to-do list!
Vanessa and Her Sister sounds good - enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteThe cover for The Abbot's Agreement is both creepy and cool!
ReplyDelete"The Best Corpse for the Job" sounds intriguing! I love the title. Enjoy your reads.
ReplyDeleteIt's Monday! What Are You Reading?
I have Vanessa and Her Sister coming up. I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying it. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeletea matter of gravity looks like a good one. happy reading
ReplyDeleteA matter of gravity looks good, must look into that one!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful week, Mari
I find it hard to abandon books but agree that you should if you aren't finding it entertaining. Better luck with your next choice!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading :D
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week~enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteIt's Monday! at Brooke Blogs
Not sure where I would begin - they all look great. enjoy
ReplyDeleteI really like the Hugh de Singleton series (The Abbot's Agreement). I am behind and need to get moving. Hope you like him as much as I do. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteIf you're thinking about moving on, you probably should. There are too many good books out there to keep wasting time on one you're not enjoying. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Vanessa and her sister.
ReplyDeleteIf you think you need to move on, perhaps you should--life is too short to not finish great books!
My week: http://www.alwaysreiding.com/manic-monday-09222014/
I like the title The Best Corpse For the Job. :) I bet it will be a good mystery.
ReplyDeleteENJOY all your books.

Definitely give up if you aren't enjoying it! I hope your week is going well and that you're checking things off your to-do list!
ReplyDeleteWow I had no idea Priya Parma had a new book out, I loved Exit the Actress. Going to add Vanessa and Her Sister to my wishlist. Good luck with your to-do-list ... I'm stressing over everything I've got to get done. Happy reading :)
