Mailbox Monday, June 3

I've had a migraine I can't shake so no beach today. I stayed in bed mostly. I'm completely off schedule once more, so doing my Mailbox Monday post today. (Cool interview tomorrow!) In June, Mailbox Monday is hosted by Bellezza at Dolce Bellezza (a favorite blog of mine!).

    I'm very curious about the Ishikawa. I've seen it floating around quite a bit recently and I'm hoping to read it at some point.

    I received The Wife, The Maid, and the Mistress in the mail as well. :) It sounds very interesting.

    You have so much bookish goodness coming up. Book of Ages sounds incredible!

    What an incredible pile! The only one I have is The Firebird as Kearsley came to our local library. Of course it was during Open House so I couldn't go. Thanks for the compliment; your blog is one of my favorites, too. Hoping that headache is gone by now!

    Wow...nice mailbox. ENJOY!! They all look quite good.

    I loved SEVEN LOCKS...hopefully you will too.

    I didn't post a Mailbox Monday this week. I am not home yet. Will be heading home tomorrow from the BEA. I am just checking out everyone's mailboxes. :)

    I do have a review of THE TIME BETWEEN by Karen White posted this morning.

    At first I thought that title was Big Eggs. Also, another Browne book? WANT.

    Banquet of Lies: Her boobs are a banquet of lies. Does that mean they're fake?

    Royal Inheritance: You'd think they could afford a prettier dress then.

    The Firebird: Love Kearsley covers.

    A Treacherous Paradise: Napkin head!

    Lungs Full of Noise: CAW

    The Pretty One: Not anymore. HAHA BITCH.

Alyssa Cole's An Extraordinary Union

...the man was unduly annoyed at her for having the gall to aid her country without virtue of a certain appendage hanging between her thighs.

First, I will confess that a biracial romance set during the Civil War instantly made me nervous, especially since our heroine is under cover as a slave. So much could have gone wrong, and the reason I trusted it wouldn't was because of Cole.

Second, all my anxieties were for naught: this book was freakin' awesome.
An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole

Historical Fiction and Read Harder challenges

Ellen, a former slave, has returned to the South and a life of servitude in service of Pres. Abraham and freedom. A spy with Pinkerton's group, she's been placed in the household of a high level Confederate, using her wits and eidetic memory to aid the Union.

Malcolm McCall is a Pinkerton too, pretending to be a good Confederate officer. Somehow, impossibly, Cole managed to make this set up not squi…

Wordless Wednesday, Jan 23

My Wordless Wednesday offering for this week: my newest read, Alyssa Cole's An Extraordinary Union, which I've wanted to read for forever and it ticks one of the boxes for this year's Read Harder challenge. Woot!

Survived my first super snowy weekend in our new place, and I'm enjoying rural-y snowy views rather than my usual quickly-muddy urban slushy ones.

Weekend reads and glutting myself...

I've been on a serious romance novel binge the last week (clocking in seven romances so far!) and I'm not sure it's abating as I'm rereading Lauren Layne's Walk of Shame (bubbly, charming debutante and prickly, grumpy divorce lawyer, mmmmm).

I have started Leonie Swann's Three Bags Full, which is a book club read AND ticks one of my reading challenge requirements. It's a cozy-ish murder mystery narrated by sheep. I'm loving it so far.

What are you reading this weekend?
