Mailbox Monday

What arrived in YOUR mailbox this week? Visit Marcia at The Printed Page to leave a link to your post and see what other readers acquired!

My week started with me getting My Lady of Cleves by Margaret Campbell-Barnes. I won the book over at A garden carried in the pocket . Thank you.




Next book I got was a win from Reading extravaganza . The book is The Invitation by Oriah. Thanks again.






I am a member of this community over at a radio channels site, and they have a pocketbook-swap, you send one in and you get one back. This week I got my second book, translated (The Red Wolf) by Liza Marklund. The only swap Swedish books. It's a detective/journalist story, she is famous, but we'll see if I liker her books too.




My trip to our local library gave me Uptown girl by Olivia Goldsmith.




The last book this week I found at the fleamarket held in my parents village. I enjoyed the two books I read about Darkover by Marion Zimmer Bradley, but this one, Exile's Return is different and takes place further in the future and seems to be more sci-fi. But who knows, cos I do like her writing.


This was my week, how was yours?

  3. I'm glad you got 'The Invitation', that was quick. I have quite a few of Bradley's books, including 'Mists of Avalon' but believe it or not I never read any. I think I'll have to shape up here.

  13. Great books! Congrats on your wins! I love Olivia Goldsmith too. Her books have a great sense of humor. She wrote First Wives Club that was made into a movie.

  14. I've just read King's Fool by Margaret Campbell Barnes. I thought it was excellent, and I've put Lady of Cleves on my wish list. I have a copy of The Invitation when it came out several years ago. The poem meant a great deal to me when I read it then. I need to give it a re-read!

  15. Wrighty, she did? I didn't know that :)

    Cathy, if she wrote one excellent book then I hope this one is just as good :D
    And I think I need to take some me time and just relax and read the invitation
