Monday Mailbox - a plethora of library books

 Mailbox Monday is hosted by Vicki at I'd Rather Be At The Beach.  I have been absent in participating because I have been reading from what is on hand.  



But - our library now has the extended holiday checkout period of 6 weeks so, I loaded up!  One book arrived in the mail and is a complimentary copy of Cecile Pin's upcoming release Celestial Lights.




Seascraper by Benjamin Wood


Loved One by Aisha Muharrar



Swallow by Natsuo Kirino

Horse by Geraldine Brooks

Also some foodie books.  Hope I can read them all before they are due!


Linking up with Monday Mailbox.

Weekly Update

My weekly update is a bit disjointed today so I'll just ramble on. I somehow strained my back and neck muscles. Probably the yard work we have tackled. It hurt to hold a Kindle or book up or for me to look down at the book, as I usually do.  No heating pad in the house so I ordered one from Amazon.  It is helping but if anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.

Question: Has anyone been in contact with Nan of Letters from a Hill Farm? I have not seen her post since March. I had a card to send her and realized I did not have her address.

Monday Mailbox - I'd not had many incoming books so have not been linking with Monday Mailbox hosted by Vicki.  I did receive this cookbook from awesome Jinjer and made a rice dish.  This week I am making a lentil soup.  

Also have the nonfiction by Daphne du Maurier Vanishing Cornwall. This is a memoir/history and myth and legend kinda book.  I've Cornwall but I love shows and book with the setting. 


Just finished a buddy read with Susan at The Cue Card - The Correspondent by Virginia Evans and loved it. Review coming up.

Monday Mailbox

 Monday Mailbox is hosted by Vicki at I'd Rather Be at the Beach.  This is a weekly event to share books we added to our collections. 



Last week I bought Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay for the Classic Club Spin and started it a few days ago.



From the library I received Time of The Child by Niall Williams for Kindle checkout and hope to get to it before it's due back.


Did you get any books this week?  Check out Monday Mailbox to see who linked up this week.
