Thanks Vivienne,
I really am looking forward to reading that one. There are a couple books in queue before it, but something tells me that when I do get to read it, I’ll zoom through it too.

I hope you enjoy ‘A Certain Slant of Light’, I really enjoyed it. I read it in three days. It has a really unusual story line.

[...] which Iâ€™ve only started yesterday, is Defending Angels by Mary Stanton. When I received the book not too long ago, I really couldnâ€™t resist. Iâ€™d been trying to hold off because Iâ€™ve already read a few [...]

@Marcia: Hi and thanks for stopping by TIR and commenting and thanks for hosting Mailbox Mondays.

Defending Angels does look good, doesn’t it? I think I’ll have to throw my TBR list to the wind and just read it next. LOL

@Jace: I’ve finished reading Uninvited and sad to say it didn’t really redeem itself. It wasn’t a complete waste of time, but I’ve certainly read better. My review is up if you care to read.

Thank you for stopping by the ‘mailbox’ this week. I just added ‘Defending Angels’ the my MM Amazon wish list.

Happy New Year!

@Brie: I actually got Clockwork Heart based on your review. Something tells me I’ll probably like it.

@Jenners: Hello and welcome to the blog! I’m glad to hear you like it and will find your way back. When I heard about The Curious Case of Benjamin Button on another book blog, my initial thought was to check Amazon and sure enough…I hit on F. Scott and knowing that much of his stuff was published in the early 20th century, I realized it would be in the public domain and off to Project Gutenberg I went. Of course, I buckled down and purchased the book simply because I wanted to have a bound copy. But yeah, long story short, the movie is based on a short story.

@Wendi: Welcome! And glad I’m not the only one to think so.

@Jace:: It may not be that bad all the way through. It’s finally taken a turn where the whining has been toned down and the action is picking up–I just hope it stays that way. (The first five chapters of the book are basically about the protagonist’s horrible family, friends, ex-undead-boyfriend and life and her copious drug/alcohol (ab)use.)

Whoa … that’s a whole load of books and so eclectic too! LOL I thought Uninvited looked interesting, but then you said it’s not that impressive … oh well.

Wow – you are right – the girl on the cover of Clockwork Heart does look like Leelee!

Hi–I’m new to Mailbox Mondays and was checking out the different posts. I love your blog. Just typing in the comments section is fun because of the way you set it up! The books sound very interesting. I’m planning to go see Benjamin Button tomorrow. I was wondering if it was based on a book and was totally suprised to find out it was from F. Scott Fitzgerald! Cool! I’ll be back to read more of your stuff!

That’s a whole lot of books! I hope you like Clockwork Heart, I really did.

Defending Angels looks very interesting. I love ghost stories, and this one takes place in a city that I’ve visited a couple of times, so that’s even more of a draw.

Happy reading!
