Summer, which begins officially on June 21 this year, is only a week away. One of the nicest things to do in the summertime is to sit outside and read a book. Last week I received four new books in the mail, two paperbacks and two hardcover books. An advanced readers copy of Boys Lie: How Not to Get Played
by Belisa Vranich and Holly Eagleson arrived from HCI for an upcoming TLC tour. My two daughters will also read it and contribute to the review. I won Daughters of the Witching Hill
by Mary Sharratt on Darlene's blog, Peeking Between the Pages. Author Audrey Braun sent me her book, A Small Fortune. Last but not least, I couldn't resist ordering The History of Love
by Nicole Krause from Better World Books on Amazon after reading a glowing review of it on Mee's book blog. Please stay tuned for reviews and giveaways for some of these books.
Mailbox Monday, one of my favorite memes, is hosted by Marcia from The Printed Page. What books arrived in your home in time for the summer, by mail or from elsewhere?

ReplyDeleteThose covers all look awesome -- and I DO judge a book by the cover -- first impressions anyway.
ReplyDeleteHistory of Love is a terrific book.
ReplyDeleteBut you are also going to love A Small Fortune. It is great!

Those are all new titles to me! Have fun reading!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to read The History of Love for the longest time! I ordered it from Amazon.com when I had surgery on my feet in 2006, and it's still unread. Like you, though, I've seen enthusiastic reviews of it all over. We'll have to talk about it when we finish it; thanks for the inspiration to pick it up soon!
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about The History of Love. I didn't really enjoy it, but it seems most people have. Enjoy all your new books!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by by site! The History of Love has such a pretty cover and it sounds like a good read. :)

ReplyDeleteCan't wait for your thoughts on the History of Love! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of books. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Daughter of the Witching Hill. I can't believe summer officially begins next week. I find I read less in the summer as I tend to be outside doing things so much more.
ReplyDeleteAnything with History is what makes my antenna go up so you know which book am looking at right!...lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for passing by. I hope you enjoy your books.
Oh dear--this is bad. I'm looking at your books and I can't remember is I have "The History of Love" or not. Gotta go check right now. That probably means I have too many books, right?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you got some great books! Happy reading
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great comments. Hopefully I will be able to spend as much time reading as I do blogging and acquiring books! :)
ReplyDeleteMore comments welcomed.
The History of Love caught my eye, but they all sound good. Enjoy!
