Mailbox Monday and It's Monday....What Are You Reading?



Mailbox Monday
is a gathering place for readers to
share the books that came into their house last week 
and explore great book blogs. 
Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.

---------------------------------------------------------


We discuss the books that we've read and what we're planning to read for the week.

Read and reviewed last week:
The Twisted Thread- tired story about murder among the elite rich kids boarding school
In the Heat of the Bite- fun, saucy, and satisfying paranormal romance

Radio Shangri-La- Tuesday
French Lessons (TLC Tour Stop)- Thursday
Whispers in the Sand- Friday
In the Sea There Are Crocodiles- Six Sentence Saturday Review

On my nightstand:
I've been playing this by how I'm feeling that particular day and what strikes my fancy!

    I just read a review of Folly Beach this morning in the lifestyle section of my newspaper. I haven't read anything by this author yet, but now this one is on my wish list.

    Enjoy your books!

    Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST

    I thoroughly enjoyed Last Letter from my Lover by Jojo Moyes when I read it earlier this year. It will definitely be on my list of favourites for the year.

    You have some great books to read! I have The Last Letter From Your Lover TBR. The cover of Twelfth Enchantment reminds me of another book, maybe one by the same author. It looks so familiar. I'm looking forward to your review on French Lessons, another book I want to read!

    Can I say that the flip flops on your mailbox makes me think about how much I hate the heat and wish summer would go away now. We have had over 20 days of 100 + temps and there is no end in sight.

    I love the cover for Triangles though I'm not sure it's a book I would like.

    Hope you have a great week.

    You have great reading ahead as well as what you have already read. Radio Shangri La has been all over the blogs as well.

    You got some good stuff there! I'd like to read Last Letter. I saw it earlier and thought it sounded good.

    I found Folly Beach at the library but had to take it back. I had so many other "promised" books to read that I ran out of time. I check it out again as the first chapters looked goo.
