Great books in the mail! Happy reading :)

That is a sweet list of books you received! I don't have many friends that read like I do, but have been pleased with how many of them do take my suggestions. I also just joined a book club. There are some issues with it, but will stick it out. After all, it IS a night out with the girls, and we do spend a good amount of time talking about the book!

You got real sweet books in the mail!

Mondays: Musings/Mailbox Bonanza/Whereabouts

I share the same answer with you, Melody, on the Musing Mondays question. My friends don't enjoy reading and talking about books with them is a sure way of putting them to sleep. LOL!

I like the books you've got there especially the one by Shirley Jackson. It's been on my wishlist for so long. I'm still on BBB!

It wasn't until recent years that I was surrounded by other readers, and even then its limited. My family is full of readers though, so that is the exception. I still interact more with online book friends when it comes to book talk and such. My obsession with books and reading tends to be more understood in the online community. :-)

Enjoy your new books, Melody! I'm looking forward to reading The Girl on Legare Street too.

Your books look interesting, I'll have to check them out!

Naida, Gautami - Thanks, ladies! :)

Sandy - That's great that you joined a book club! I wish I've the time & energy for that, but the first thing that comes to mind when I get home from work is rest, relax, and spend some time with my two girls! Perhaps when they're older, I'll be able to join one! ;)

Alice - I hope you'll be able to buy books soon, Alice! I can't make myself go on a book ban as it seems too much of a 'torture' to me, LOL! I've no self control when it comes to book buying! :P

Wendy - I wouldn't know where I should ramble about books without you all so book blogging community rocks! ;)

I can't wait to hear what you'll think of The Girl on Legare Street when you get to it!

Vicki - Thanks! I hope you'll add them to your TBR list. :)

Great books! I really want to read We Have Always Lived in the Castle. I hope you enjoy it.

I will have to check out The Girl on League Street.

Have a few friends that I can share books with, but not as much as I would like.

a book club sounds like a nice idea...I am not sure it really would be, which is maybe why I don't look for one. But it sounds like a nice idea.

I always seem to have a few avid-reader friends to chat about books with. I used to belong to a lovely little book club; I'm toying with the idea of starting a new one in my new home.

I have the Girl on Legare Street to read as well. Happy reading.

I'm the same - not many bookish friends near me, but I use Bookmooch a lot!

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Castle :)

Kathy - I'm hoping to read that book before end of this year! ;)

Nise' - It's great to have some friends who share our passion for books, isn't it?

Caite - Indeed. I love the sound of a book club, but I don't seem to find too many of those here. Maybe there are, it's just that I'm not aware of it. ;P

Amy - That's a great idea about starting a book club of your own! I'd join if I'm living there! ;)

Serena - That's great! I can't wait to hear what you'll think of the book when you get to it!

Nymeth - I can't wait to read that book! I'm excited because it's a Shirley Jackson book! :D

I don't share my reading outside my blog a lot too, most of my friends don't read as much as I do.

You got the new Karen White book, awesome, I'm still waiting to get my hands on the first one :) Do let us know how you like the Nora Roberts book too.

Violet - Seems like a few of us don't have a lot of friends who read. ;) But we've this wonderful bookblogging community, don't we?

I haven't read the first installment of Karen's book, and I intend to do so soon (if I could find it since it's hidden somewhere in my huge TBR pile!) :P

Neither so i and like you i dn have the energy to go somewhere and discuss books. But I would love to do it if i have a chance!

So instead of that I generally discuss books with Hubby, telling him things i learn from books about countries and such :)

LOVELY stack of books girl!

I've read wonderful reviews about We've Always Lived in the Castle. Hope you'll enjoy it and your other books!

Veens & Iliana - Thanks, ladies! I can't wait to devour those books! :P

Hopefully I'll be able to read NR's Bed of Roses with you, if you hurry and the first book *LOL*
