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



I am trying to keep up with the memes. Two weeks in a row seems good!

               



     




A very handsome mailbox! I've got different genres and this is what I really like. I am trying to step out of my comfort zone a wee bit and this mix is helping.

I am reading two books currently, something which I rarely do. One is The Road to Rangoon and the other is Rich Friends. The books couldn't be more dissimilar - one set in abject poverty and a rebellion in Myanmaar and the other set in California - a family saga of people who are rather rich!

We have had a long weekend with Friday off as well (Esala Full Moon Poya Day). It has been a lazy time for me. Caught up with friends, had several meals out, altogether a good time ready for the working week.

  1. Mystica, I like reading out of my comfort zone and I'm currently reading "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte, I try and read two or three classics a year.

  3. The Color of Water in July sounds really good, partially because it takes place in my state! All Michiganders are familiar with Up North, northern Michigan as a top vacation spot in summer. I look forward to your review. :) Your long weekend sounds like it was fun. :)

  5. I hope you enjoy your new books! Picture Perfect looks like a fun light read and I love historical fiction so I'm curious about Prisoner of the Queen.

  7. I try to mix up genres too and read out of my comfort zone from time to time, sometimes it leads me into a new world and sometimes I just know not to go down that road again. Hope you enjoy your reading explorations!
