Mailbox Monday

I have been trying to control the number of books that come in to our house lately. I am desperately running out of space in our small rooms. I do have two books to share today, though. One is for review and the second is for my book group. What books did you get this past week?


The Girl on the Cliff by Lucinda Riley

The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammet

Mailbox Monday is being hosted this month by the Mailbox Monday blog. Click on over and see what books others got and share what came into your house. 

Happy Reading!

      Thanks! We are really looking forward to going on a walk around San Francisco to see all the spots in the book. Should be fun!

    The Girl on the Cliff looks tempting...enjoy your reads...and I know what you mean about having to control the books coming in. My house is "controlled" by the books.

    Thanks for visiting my blog.

    We can share thoughts on GIRL ON THE CLIFF as you suggested. Won't be starting it just yet, though.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    Hi Mari,

    Several other posts have mentioned 'The Girl On The Cliff', so I already have it on my reading list. The couple of people who have finished reading it already have thoroughly enjoyed it and given it some great reviews, so I hope that you enjoy it too!

    I have watched the film adaptation of 'The Maltese Falcon', but to my shame, I have never read any of Hammet's books. You have definitely reawakened my interest in this undisputed classic, so I have put that on my list as well!!

    Thanks for sharing and enjoy your week.

    Yvonne

    I really liked The Girl on the Cliff a lot. A nice modern Gothic feel to it.

    I adored the film The Maltese Falcon! I hope the novel is equally terrific.

    Your post made me remember I bought Girl on a Cliff last week but totally forgot to put it on my MM post! Oops.

    I hope you enjoy both of your new books.

    The Girl on the Cliff sounds good. I enjoyed The Orchid House by the same author. I'll have to put this on my wishlist!

    I like the cover of Girl on the Cliff. And Maltese is such a classic. Enjoy!
