ReplyDeleteLovely photos of your books, Diane! I am back from my travels and blogging break and hope to post a new Mailbox Monday manana. :)
ReplyDeleteOh you picked up lots of good reads! Enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteYou have the cutest mailbox : ) You definitely have some great books there. I hope you enjoy all of them.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!!!
A very nice mix. Paul Theroux is sometimes good, sometimes a bit disarming. Sophie Hannah - thats a bargain!
ReplyDeleteA Dead Hand really caught my eye, I love the cover.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read or heard of any of these...but sounds like you've got some good books there :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch interesting covers on most of these. I'll be watching for reviews.
ReplyDelete$.84 plus shipping? What a deal!
Have a great week, Diane.
Enjoy your new books! I haven't heard of these, so I'm looking forward to your thoughts.

The "Inside Story" as told by Sassy Brit and her Gang!
I almost bought a copy of The Red Thread a few months ago, but didn't end up getting it. After that it just kind of quietly slipped off my radar. I will have to rectify that!! I hope that you enjoy all your new books, and I must say the cover for A Dead Hand looks really cool!
ReplyDeleteThe Mambo Kings was a wonderful movie. The song Beautiful Maria of My Soul was just haunting. I hope you enjoy the book. Have a great week and happy reading.
ReplyDeleteI saw Blue Nude in another mailbox and it sounds like it could be great. Interesting story premise. Here's my Mailbox. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteAwesome books, The Red Thread looks good. My mailbox is at The Crowded Leaf.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I want to read The Wrong Mother (I think). I'm looking forward to your review of that one! Enjoy all your books!
ReplyDeleteVery jealous that you received a copy of the Red Thread -- looking forward to reading your review!
ReplyDeleteLike the cover of The Dead Hand!

ReplyDeleteI really liked The Red Thread. I can't wait to see what you think of it. 84 cents for a book is amazing! And it sounds like a good read! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGreat books! I don't think I'm familiar with any of them. The Red Thread looks really good.
ReplyDeleteDiane...I read Diamond Ruby for Historical Novel Review. Loved it! The review isn't out yet, but even I the non-sports person liked this one. Ruby is a a rare find...strong, intelligent and likable.
ReplyDeleteDiane, I am not familiar with many of these books, but they look gorgeous. Enjoy!
