I'm linking up with Mailbox Monday for the first time in a long time. I've been trying not to buy so many books and movies lately, since my TBR and TBW shelves are sagging already. But I hit a clearance sale on Barnes & Noble's website last week and did get a couple things for myself, as well as some birthday and Christmas presents for friends and family. Here's what I got for me:
The Pursuit of Mary Bennet by Pamela Mingle has been on my TBR list for quite a while. Isn't the cover pretty? Of all the Pride and Prejudice pastiches that focus on Mary Bennet that I've read about, this one has gotten the most positive reviews, so I'm hopeful about it. And Wild Western Days by Clarence E. Mulford is actually a collection of 3 full-length Hopalong Cassidy novels: The Coming of Cassidy, Bar-20, and Hopalong Cassidy. I've never ready any of Mulford's books, so I'm really looking forward to these! I hear they're a lot different from the Hopalong Cassidy movies, much less light-hearted. Interesting!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Bermuda Onion! I hope so too :-)
DeleteI enjoyed the Mary Bennet book; I hope you like it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Serena! Glad to hear from another person who liked it :-)
DeleteHuh, a story about Mary Bennet sounds interesting. She's always the one I feel the worst for, poor thing. I may add it to my to-reads list.
ReplyDeleteYes, I sympathize with her a lot, so I hope this is good!
DeleteWhat a BEAUTIFUL blog.
ReplyDeleteThe Pursuit of Mary Bennet sounds good.
ENJOY both of your books and your reading week.

I bought the Mary Bennet book as an ebook in a sale a while ago. But I haven't read it yet, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteIt does look so interesting, doesn't it? I've always felt sorry for Mary.
