Mailbox Monday


Thanks for joining me for Mailbox Monday! MM was created by Marcia, who graciously hosted it for a long, long time, before turning it into a touring event (details here).

UPDATE: Kathy from BermudaOnion's Weblog stepped up to the plate to host in November. The link for today is here.

I found a couple of books by favorite authors at a library sale that have me wishing I could hole up for a rainy November week before the holiday rush and just read and relax. What a fantasy!



Glory by Vladimir Nabokov

 

Destinations: Essays from Rolling Stone by Jan Morris

 

Leaving Home by Anita Brookner

 

Earthly Possessions by Anne Tyler

  1. I love Anne Tyler's work. Leaving Home looks really good too.

    This month's host seems to be MIA so I've added a Mr. Linky to the bottom of my post.

  2. Have never read Anita Brookner. I've heard her books described as "quiet."

  3. Kathy -- Thanks for taking over. I'll edit my post and come over with my link.

    TN: I'd describe them as quiet but powerful. They feel very authentic.

  5. You made some excellent purchases. I especially like the sounds of the Rolling Stone essays (I used to read it cover to cover in the 80's) and Ann Tyler is wonderful.

    Happy reading!

  7. Oooo. Good stuff there. Happy reading! Maybe you'll get a rainy November weekend with no other commitments so you can just hole up with all of them and enjoy.
