Story Siren hosts In My Mailbox where book bloggers offer a peek into the books that arrived in their homes over the past week. Mailbox Monday hosted by Marcia at the Printed Page has the same objective. These memes are great in that they offer us a chance to see what others are reading- it's like candy for book addicts!This was a very light week - two books arrived from paperbackswap.com. Since my IMM/MM post was the only one that made it up last week due to a CRAZY schedule at work, it's probably for the best that I didn't receive too many books! It would only have put me further behind!
Home Safe: A Novel
by Elizabeth Berg. I have read several of Berg's books over the years and always find her writing to be thoughtful and almost poetic. I have seen good reviews of this book and am looking forward to reading it.The Accidental Family
by Rowan Coleman. I discovered the prequel to this novel,The Accidental Mother
, one day at the bookstore - I saw it on a table and since I like British authors and the story looked interesting, I picked it up. Since then, I have read several of Coleman's books and am excited to get back to the characters that initially drew me to the author!
What came into your home this week?
I've read most of Elizabeth Berg's books including Home Safe. While not my favorite, I enjoyed it. Rowan Coleman is a new author (to me).
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
I love the cover of Home Safe. I have not read any of her books, but I've seen a few of them making the rounds. Here's my Mailbox.

ReplyDeleteBoth of those look good. I read Berg's Open House, but it was so long ago, I can't remember anything about it, other than that I liked it. Enjoy your new books!
