Mailbox Monday, created by Marcia at To Be Continued, formerly The Printed Page, has a permanent home at its own blog.
To check out what everyone has received over the last week, visit the blog and check out the links. Leave yours too.
Also, each week, Leslie, Vicki, and I will share the Books that Caught Our Eye from everyone’s weekly links.
Here’s what I received:
1. Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella from a friend.
Lottie just knows that her boyfriend is going to propose, but then his big question involves a trip abroad—not a trip down the aisle. Completely crushed, Lottie reconnects with an old flame, and they decide to take drastic action. No dates, no moving in together, they’ll just get married . . . right now. Her sister, Fliss, thinks Lottie is making a terrible mistake, and will do anything to stop her. But Lottie is determined to say “I do,” for better, or for worse.
2. Saving Grace by Jane Green, an unexpected surprise from Tandem Literary.
Grace and Ted Chapman are widely regarded as the perfect literary power couple. Ted is a successful novelist and Grace, his wife of twenty years, is beautiful, stylish, carefree, and a wonderful homemaker. But what no one sees, what is churning under the surface, is Ted’s rages. His mood swings. And the precarious house of cards that their lifestyle is built upon. When Ted’s longtime assistant and mainstay leaves, the house of cards begins to crumble and Grace, with dark secrets in her past, is most vulnerable. She finds herself in need of help but with no one to turn to…until the perfect new assistant shows up out of the blue. To the rescue comes Beth, a competent young woman who can handle Ted and has the calm efficiency to weather the storms that threaten to engulf the Chapman household.
What did you receive?
I just took Wedding Night out of the library. Trying to catch up with Kinsella. Happy reading!
I received a surprise copy of Saving Grace last week too.
Both books look fun. Enjoy!
Thanks, Lucy
I received Saving Grace last week in my mailbox, enjoy!
Ah, I’ll have to check out your review
Saving Grace sounds very interesting. Happy reading!
I hope its good.
Enjoy your books. I read one Kinsella and enjoyed it, I may have to pick another one up soon.
This will be one in a long list for me.
Hi Serena,
I have never read any Jane Green books, as I assumed that they were in similar vein to the likes of Sophie Kinsella, very chick-lit oriented!
The premise for ‘Saving Grace’ however, has me completely hooked and I have already added ths one to my ‘Want To Read’ list, especially after I discovered one of the editions on Goodreads had a slightly longer synopsis, which makes the storyline even more sinister sounding!
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your new finds!
Yvonne
Yes, it does sound very sinister.
Looking forward to Saving Grace.
I was surprised when it came. I was not expecting it
I have Wedding Night on my shelves but am saving it for when I need some fun and froth (probably in February when it’s grayest).
I might read it over Christmas break!
Wedding Night looks like fun….and I LOVED Saving Grace. Hope you do, too. Thanks for visiting my blog.
Thanks for stopping by.
I got Saving Grace too – it was a fun surprise!
It was a surprise.
Sophie Kinsella is ideal for a fun read.
I love her books.
Love Sophie Kinsella for a light, funny read. Enjoy!
She is good for a fun, light read.
