Mailbox Monday [4]
Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia @ A Girl and Her Books, and hosted by Amy @ Passages to the Past for the month of April.
Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it. Those who do not do it think of it as a cousin of stamp collecting, a sister of the trophy cabinet, bastard of a sound bank account and a weak mind.
- Jeanette Winterson
I went on a book-buying splurge last weekend and here’s what I got:

The Gravedigger’s Daughter by Joyce Carol Oates
The Kommandant’s Girl by Pam Jenoff
The Welsh Girl by Peter Ho Davies
A Secret Kept by Tatiana de Rosnay
The Memory of Love by Aminatta Forna
The Little Book by Selden Edwards
The Long Song by Andrea Levy
The Scent of Rain and Lightning by Nancy Pickard
The Heretic’s Daughter by Kathleen Kent
The Hand That First Held Mine by Maggie O’Farrell
And I discovered these Quick Reads which I can’t resist buying. They are a little over a hundred pages and suitable for well …. quick reads =)
Comments
I've never been fond of quick reads thou, I always prefer the full longer version.
Enjoy!
