In My Mailbox

Fall has finally come to Montreal, and it is cold! I wouldn't mind fall if it stuck around a little longer, I really don't like winter which is why I dread the coming of fall. I had a really good mailbox week again. Hope you did too. 

Here's what I got:





The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides




Mary Boleyn: The Mistress of Kings by Alison Weir

    One of these days I am going to get the "Unbecoming" novel.

    I just wanted to let you know that after reading your blog I bought an Amish Fiction. It is a Beverly Lewis novel and it is pretty good. I don't hate it !

    Happy reading:)

    I've heard great things about The Duff and I can't wait to read Mara Dyer. But out of all of these I'd be most excited about Allison Wier's because I've loved all of her books that I've read.

    I think just about everybody ended up getting Mara Dyer this week. I normally wouldn't go for The Marriage Plot, except for the fact that Eugenides is amazing.

    I hope winter staves off a while longer for you!

    I recently finished The Shattering by Karen Healey, it's very unique. I wish The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer had found it's way into my mailbox. Enjoy!

    I received The Marriage Plot audiobook but it does not sound like a book I would pick. However everyone says Jeffrey Eugenides is amazing. I guess I should give it a try. Mara Dyer has caught my eye. I can't wait to see your review on it.
