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 didn't get any books for Christmas but I got a couple of Barnes and Noble gift cards and that works even better in my opinion! I loaded my boys in the car and ventured out to get some new books...its so hard for me to find any these days! I think I'm going to have to stick to ordering online and from the UK! Lol! Anyway, here's what I picked up...and I still have $10 left!
Cleopatra's Daughter, Michelle Moran
I've been a big fan of Ms. Moran since reading her wonderful novel The Heretic Queen a couple of years ago. I have heard really good things about this novel and can't wait to dive in!
Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen
I love Austen and my copy of this novel has vanished somewhere in this house. So, I picked up a replacement...which means I'll find my original any time.
After reading my first Regency novel by this author last year I was hooked! They didn't have much of a select (at all) but this one looked pretty good! Can't wait to see what Ms. Heyer has in store for me between the pages of this one!
I really liked Cleopatra's Daughter. My hubby was sick on NY Eve so my daughter and I watched the 1995 film version of Sense & Sensibility - a lot of fun. Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteThose look great! I've enjoyed all of Michelle Moran's books.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have a great reading week.
