Mailbox Monday

Sorry this is Tuesday, but I couldn't get it ready yesterday because I was too engrossed in this new book I received from Permanent Press called The Disappearance, by Efrem Sigel. I'm going to finish it tonight and I don't want to give anything away, but let me say this writer is phenomenal. Efrem takes you inside each character's being, soul, mind, thoughts and vision. Don't wait for my review. Just get it!!!

Received in my mailbox:

1. The Virago Book of Ghost Stories by Richard Dalby
2. Galway Bay by Mary Pat Kelly..Thanks Miriam at Hachette
3. The Big Bell and Little Bell by Alastair Graham
4. Land of Marvels by Barry Unsworth (Winner of the Booker Prize
5. Secret Daughter by June Cross

7. A Richer Dust, by Amy Boaz
8. The Night Battles, M.F. Bloxam
9. Entering Ephesus, Daphne Athas
10. The Disappearance, by Efrem Sigel

I can't wait to read and give my thoughts.
