Monday Reading Report 4/26

It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is a weekly event hosted by Sheila at One Persons Journey Through a World of Books. Bloggers can list the books completed last week, the books currently being read and the books you plan to read this week.
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!! This week I've highlighted the titles of the books that arrived in my mailbox.
READ: Lots completed last week because it was school vacation here in Massachusetts and I didn't have to work.

• Madonna of the Seven Hills by Jean Plaidy: Great story of Lucrezia Borgia's early years.
• The Betrayal of the Blood Lily (Pink Carnation)by Lauren Willig: Sixth in the swashbuckling historical fiction "flower spies" series.
• Rumor Has it by Jill Mansell: Hysterical British chick-lit I'll be reviewing in July.
• The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponderby Rebecca Wells, author of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood books. This is her first stand-alone novel, just out in paperback. I'll be reviewing it next week for a TLC book tour.
• The Black Pearl by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles: Sixth in the Moreland Dynasty series that runs through British history. Covers the years of the Restoration.
• Sweet Misfortune by Kevin Alan Milne: ARC coming out in June. A nice love story about coincidences, fate, and divine intervention.

READING: Beginning tonight I"ll be reading Backseat Saints by Joshilyn Jackson, an ARC from Hachette. From the publisher: An original and heartwarming portrayal of the lengths a mother will go to right the wrongs she's created and the distance a daughter will travel to escape the demands of forgiveness.

TO READ: I've got a few ARCs to read, and several books I'll be picking up from the library this week. 

• The Blue Orchard by Jackson Taylor
• Mr. Rosenblum Dreams in English by Natasha Solomons
• Cold Rock River by Jackie Lee Miles

OTHER NEW ARRIVALS: From the goodreads book swap I received A Cup of Tea: A Novel of 1917by Amy Ephron, and Sunstrokeby Jesse Kellerman. I'm very excited to read the first novel from the son of 2 of my favorite writers, Jonathan and Faye Kellerman, but I'll be holding on to these until my ARC and library book piles go down!

REVIEWS: I got three reviews written in one morning this week! Woo Hoo!
