Since I am particularly curious about The Lantern I very much look forward to reading your thoughts about it!
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the lantern. I should go and check it out
ReplyDeleteooh you got Road from the West! I really wanna read that. Two for Sorrow sounds good too.
ReplyDelete@Danielle & @Blodeuedd: I'm really excited about it -- I'm doing a comparison review with DuMaurier's Rebecca since it's getting buzz about being v reminiscent of it. Here's hoping!
ReplyDelete@Elysium: I'm so excited as it's an era I'm curious about but haven't read a ton of -- love books like this.
I got a couple of these as well, and am particularly interested in The Lantern/ Rebecca compare and contrast. Lots of good things in that mailbox this week! I hope that you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteThat's a full mailbox! Enjoy your reading- they look good!
ReplyDeleteYou have so many wonderful reads there!! I am very curious about The Lantern! Ahh...I see a fellow Willig fan!!! Enjoy your books and thanks for stopping by Life in the Thumb!
ReplyDeleteMost of these are new to me. I picked up A Moveable Feast several weeks ago after finishing The Paris Wife. I need to remember to read it :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen some of these titles around...like When God Was a Rabbit.
ReplyDeleteI have A Moveable Feast on my stacks...and, like Mary, picked it up after reading The Paris Wife.
Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST
I read When God Was a Rabbit last weekend and loved it - hope you will too.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to The Lantern which should be in my library very soon.
ooo, the lantern. i've got black tulip waiting in the wings.
ReplyDeleteSALVAGE THE BONES sounds like an amazing and emotional read.
ReplyDeleteI just read The Lantern this week and I enjoyed it- hope you do as well. I have been meaning to read The Black Tulip for a while, I love that series!
ReplyDeleteWhen God was a Rabbit is a intriguing read. The Lantern and the Nicola Upson book are the two I am particularly interested in!
ReplyDeleteWow! You got some great books in.
ReplyDeleteA Moveable Feast is one of my favorite books and the only Hemingway I'm crazy about.
I'm also reading The Lantern and loving it. :)
Looks like you got some great books. The Lantern looks good! Happy reading.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy! your great mailbox.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these but I ma curious about The Lantern. I can't decide if it sounds like a book I want to read or not. Enjoy all your new reads.

ReplyDeleteInteresting mailbox. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for your thoughts on Wendy and the Lost Boys!
ReplyDeleteI read the first in Lauren Willig's series but I wasn't a huge fan. I think I might need to revisit the series and try again.
ReplyDeleteNice haul, though; The Lantern is GORGEOUS. I'm off to goodreads to learn more actually
