Mailbox Monday – May 4

by Belle on May 4, 2009

mailboxIt’s Mailbox Monday, when book bloggers talk about the book titles that came to their house that week. Here’s what arrived in the Ms. Bookish household:

Mystery: Long Time No See, by Susan Isaacs. Via Bookmooch. Judith Singer (last seen in Isaacs’ Compromising Positions) is back, this time to investigate the death of Courtney Logan, former investment banker turned suburban mommy.

Memoir: A Circle of Quiet, by Madeleine L’Engle. Via Bookmooch. This is Book 1 of L’Engle’s Crosswicks Journal series. L’Engle is one of my favorite authors, and I’ve been wanting to read her Crosswicks Journal books for quite a while now.

Children’s books: And finally, I bought Books 1 to 3 of The 39 Clues series:

The Maze of Bones (Book One), by Rick Riordan
One False Note (Book Two), by Gordon Korman
The Sword Thief (Book Three), by Peter Lerangis

I didn’t know Madeline L’Engle had a memoir out! I’ll have to add it to my wish list. I grew up reading her books with my parents and just loved them!

I’m curious about what you’ll say about the 39 clue books. I haven’t read them, but they’re on my wish list.
