Mailbox Monday (21)

Mailbox Monday is a weekly meme started by Marcia at To Be Continued.  Check it out here!

 I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!  It was so nice to have a three day weekend.

My local library is closing for a few weeks as they get ready to move into their new building so I had to stop by and pick up some books while I still had the chance.

From the Library:


The Kill Artist by Daniel Silva
Daughters of Rome by Kate Quinn
The Borgia Betrayal by Sara Poole
Children of Wrath by Paul Grossman

For Review:


Prisoner of the Queen by E. Knight

Knowing she was seen as a threat to the Queen she served, Lady Katherine Grey, legitimate heir to the throne, longs only for the comfort of a loving marriage and a quiet life far from the intrigue of the Tudor court. After seeing her sister become the pawn of their parents and others seeking royal power and then lose their lives for it, she is determined to avoid the vicious struggles over power and religion that dominate Queen Elizabeth’s court. Until she finds love—then Kat is willing to risk it all, even life in prison.

    Mistress of Rome has been on my wishlist for quite some time.. All the other titles are new to me but I hope you have fun with them :). And I agree with Elizabeth, the cover of Prisoner of the Queen is a beauty!

Mailbox Monday (49)

It's time for another Mailbox Monday post!  Once again I could not resist the cheap ebooks that Amazon and Barnes and Noble were promoting this week.  I really need to stop!  I already have more than I can read.  I also was able to spend a little time browsing at the library and I came home with a nice stack of books.  These days, I hardly ever get to spend time at the library by myself for more than a minute or two so it was wonderful to have time to just wander and see what I could find. Purchased (for kindle): The Color of Secrets by Lindsay Ashford The One I Was by Eliza Graham House of Bathory by Linda Lafferty   Purchased (for nook): One Night in Winter by Simon Sebag Montefiore  Becoming Queen Victoria by Kate Williams From the Library: The Messenger by Daniel Silva   The Ripper's Wife by Brandy Purdy Hotel Moscow by Talia Carner Brazen by Katherine Longshore What books did you get...
