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!
I had a flying visit to the UK this week for work (literally flying - I was there for a total of about 36 hours) and I fell victim to the bookstores in London Heathrow. Every time I travel through LHR, I come home with books no matter how much I insist that I will not purchase any more books! I hit WH Smith in Terminal 4 and picked up:
Men from the Boys by Tony Parsons - this is a sequel to Man and Boy: A Novel
which I read a number of years ago and enjoyed

by Rowan Coleman. I discovered the prequel to this novel,
, 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!
