In My Mailbox, No. 1

As promised in my previous post, I am now doing In My Mailbox, a Story Siren meme where I list all the books in my immediate vicinity, so even if I don't blog about them you know they're there. And they don't feel ignored and rise up against me, which would be as frightening to you as it is to me if you could see Just. How. Many. There. Are. 

Seriously, shelves, bookcases, lampshades, fridge. Everywhere. All of them simultaneously giving me the evil eye and the come on until I don't know which way to look. Essh.


Quality of Mercy




Barry Unsworth's 'The Quality of Mercy': ARC from Hutchison, review to come in next week or so;






The Woman in White (Barnes & Noble Classics)



Wilkie Collin's 'The Woman in White': an ex-Book Club choice. However, seeing as I am no longer doing the book club (I'll tell you that story sometime) I have put it down for now. I will pick up it soon though, as it's really rather good.




The Tiger's Wife: A Novel



Tea Obreht's 'The Tiger's Wife': I have read this actually, but it's hanging around waiting for a Book Quote Friday post or a review.





Written Lives




Javier Marias' 'Written Lives': bought after reading this post on 'Wuthering Expectations'. Sounds a little crazy, but that makes it all the more tempting to pick up.





A Feast for Crows (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 4)




George R. R. Martin's 'A Feast for Crows': although, to be honest, I am not reading this and have all but no intention to. My husband is reading his way through the entire series however, so they are all over the house. And 'Game of Thrones' was, until the series ended, all over my TV. So it deserves a mention I think.

More4 TV Book Club Review: The Book of Human Skin

      So, being amongst the luckiest girls in the world, the TV Book Club on More4 asked me recently whether I’d mind awfully reviewing parts of their Summer Reads 2011 series of books for them. Yes please, I said, quietly air-grabbing and doing a dance.

     This is the first of my choices: ‘The Book of Human Skin’ by Michelle Lovric.

The Book Club Book Club Book Club Club

    Sorry, I just thought that sounded nice. I guess it's been a long day. At least it's kinda meta. Anyway, book clubs. Yes. I am now running one in the cafe where I am a decidedly average waitress and wondered if I could ask you, the delightful blog-reading public, for some advice.
