In My Mailbox

In my mailbox is a weekly meme created by The Story Siren to share new books you've received in the last week.

So totally not an original post again, but the old household has been a bit hectic.
We still have Mylo and Herbie, Luna and Norbit (going on 6 months!) and my two fur children. Also we had a sleepover with an adorable German shepherd puppy mix named Costa on Saturday night. Three puppies together and unsupervised time outside means many holes.
Luckily the Easter long weekend is coming up and I'll have time to recuperate from the craziness. And go fishing. And the weather is finally cooling a little and we had our first rain in something like over 65 days (we're meant to be in Autumn) so I can try and do some gardening. And now I'm just transitioning into old person hood. Moving on.

The Seance

This cover is gorgeous in a Gothic way. Also Harwood is an Australian author, so if I want to review for Aussie authors month I'd better get cracking.

Fast Food Nation

I can't remember why I wanted to read this one or who got me onto it, but if anything puts me off junk food it can only be a good thing.

The Year of Magical Thinking

I'm reading this one first surprisingly. I think it was the first I received, and so far I'm just feeling morbid about death but I'm only halfway through.


Don't Look Now and other stories

(Sorry about the tiny cover but it's exactly the cover art I received) I have to thank Sadako for alerting me to the fact that the movie Don't Look Now was based on one of  Du Maurier's short stories on Scarina's website, after she had reviewed the film (which is excellent). I'm really looking forward to reading this one, and yes I was seduced by a cover again.
