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.

I have no excuses. I have been bad, very bad. Today I'm just highlighting two of the books I requested from NetGalley because I'm ashamed of myself. Don't worry there are plenty more to come for future Mailbox Monday posts. In my defense, all I can say is that the covers of The Longings of Wayward Girls and The Lavender Garden are awesome and the synopsis of both sounded wonderful. Whoever writes those should be paid in GOLD!!

  6. Sometimes it is fun to be bad! Can't wait to see why. Look forward to see what your DNF's were, and if I will totally avoid them or give them a try. Have a great week.

  9. I like that you're doing a Kindle spring cleaning. I've been debating - what to do with kindle books I've read... or that I might not read? It's not like a print book that you can just give away. Are you allowed to give Kindle reads to other people?

    Anyway - a romance from a male's pov, also sounds interesting. I'm not really into romance, but this might be good. Is it written by a man or woman?

    Have a great week

  13. Now you're tempting me again with NetGalley! The covers are so pretty...

  14. I'm looking forward to Longing of Wayward Girls - just the title alone draws me in:) I had a busy few days so I never got to doing a MM post.

  15. Yep - those covers are great! Definitely one of the reasons I've been steering clear of Net Galley!

  16. Don't feel bad, Staci. Or rather, let's feel bad together! LOL I went on a NetGalley spree recently too. So many good books!

  17. We all have weeks when we can't resist the new books. I have The Lavender Garden, too, so I'm really looking forward to your review of that one. Enjoy!
