Mailbox Monday

I'm currently enjoying a four day weekend! Tomorrow is my birthday and I decided there was no reason to work on my birthday, I'm going to enjoy the day at home, relaxing. I hope everyone had a great Easter. I gave up Facebook for lent, and I was happy to get it back.

Have a great week, and happy reading!

The Book of Madness and Cures by Regina O'Melveny

The Uninvited Guests by Sadie Jones

The Opposite of Tidy by Carrie Mac

Ebooks bought:

Bloodman by Robert Pobi

    Hi Jennifer,

    For many people here in the UK, Easter is a four day weekend, as Good Friday and Easter Monday are public holidays. Nowadays, with so many people working part time and shifs, this isn't adhered to so rigidly.

    I don't blame you for not wanting to work on your birthday, especially when you can relax with all your new books.

    I really like the sound of 'Bloodman', although the author is new to me. It does look like a great debut novel, a definite for the reading list.

    Have a great birthday and enjoy your week.

    Yvonne.

    Ooooo In the Name of the Star, I'm really excited to finally get time to read that one! I've read mixed reviews, but that usually makes me want to read a book more just to see how I fair with it:)

    The Name of the Star is one I'd like to read and the new Sadie Jones books sounds good.

    A four day weekend sounds lovely! I'll get a three day one next weekend, so I'm really looking forward to that!

    Name of the Star was pretty darn good. Not too heavy, but entertaining. I hope you enjoy it!

    Hi Jen...Uninvited Guests is pretty weird (still glad I read it though). I'll be curious to read your thoughts. I haven't reviewed it yet.
