What I'm Reading & What's In the Mailbox 3/29

Mailbox Monday, hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page is a meme where folks share the yummy books that showed up at our doors! WARNING: Mailbox Mondays can lead to extreme envy and GINORMOUS wishlists!! Pretty empty mailbox this week, but the one book that arrived I was very excited about. Pope Joan by Donna Woolfolk Cross came from the goodreads swap. Even though I was still reading another book, I immediately jumped into Pope Joan when I finished opening the mail. I'm excited to read about this hidden figure from history. 

It's Monday, What are you reading? is hosted by Sheila at One Person's Journey Through Books.This is yet another opportunity to make other bibliophiles jealous of the good stuff you got to enjoy the past week.
Laughed my way through Farm Fatale by Wendy Holden, the story of a young couple moving from London to a little village. I've got to get more of her books to read, especially for the beach this summer!
I read book 3 in the Moreland Dynasty by Cynthia Harrod Eagles, The Princeling, which I got from my library, as well as her well-researched I, Victoria, the fictional autobiography of Queen Victoria.
I got 1 book review written last week, Get Lucky by Katherine Center, but there's still a big pile staring at me. I even have them stacked right next to the computer for inspiration!

    Nice ones! I tried to read Beautiful People but couldn't get past the first few pages - maybe I should try again, people are giving it good reviews!

i have shut off the CAPCHA, so if you are asked to type a word or number, please let me know. It is very annoying and slows down comments.
