    Interesting selection of books. I am actually looking forward to watching the movie version of the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel when it is released on DVD here in Australia - the casting looks great.

    Nice mailbox! All titles are "new to me" but I am very interested in Life and Death. Will be on the lookout for your review. Have a nice week!

    I think I'll wait for your review of 'Marigold Hotel' before I decide to read it or watch it. Enjoy all your new books, Diane!

    Looking forward to your thoughts on Marigold Hotel as well. I'd love to see the movie just for Dame Judi! I think you'll like Dilloway's book.

    I didn't realize Marigold Hotel was based on a book - I was just talking to a friend about wanting to go see that in the theater. Have a great week!

    I've read only the Marigold book. Haven't written about it yet, but I did like it. And amazingly, so surprisingly, I didn't care for the movie other than the performances of Nighy and Dench. There was so much in the book, and the movie seemed lacking.

    I didn't realize Marigold Hotel was based on a book--looking forward to the movie, mainly because I'm a Judi Dench fan.

    The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is an intriguing title...assuming it's not a gardening book :)

    The Marigold Hotel is one I want to read.

    I hope you have a great week! I'm sometimes too lazy to do the meme, but then I just do a Reading Roundup on my blog, where I do exactly the same as normal, but I don't link up to Bookjourney (and don't use the button). I just can't miss out on writing about my reading. ;-)

    Twelve Patients sounds very intriguing, and darn it all, but now I have to know more, so I am off to find a nice synopsis and see if I should add it to my collection. Great mailbox today!

    Every one of them new to me! The Marigold one sounds good and the roses one I am wondering what its all about.

    All new ones for me this week. I didn't know Ken Follett had a new book coming out. I usually like his stuff.

    I hadn't realized that Ken Follet had a new book out either. The Margaret Dilloway book looks good too!

    I'm especially interested in the one about Bellevue Hospital and am hoping it is non-fiction.
