Mailbox Monday (10)

I decided to start doing MM instead of IMM, but I'll start with number 10 (which would have been the next IMM) for practical reasons.

MM is hosted each month by a different blogger. This month the host is Burton Book Review.

I had more exams this two weeks and haven't been reading much. Well, I have been reading, but I doubt people are interested in class books. I have several half written reviews though and the summer break starts next week, after the last exam. Then I'll have almost three months of holidays!

In case anybody's wondering, I do know that today is not monday.

So now to the books:

K is for Killer by Sue Grafton
M is for Malice by Sue Grafton
Doctor Who - Magic of the Angels by Jacqueline Rayner


From NetGalley:

Run To Ground by D.P. Lyle
The Clause by Brian Wiprud
Disappeared by Anthony Quinn
Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex by Eoin Colfer

  1. The Clause, I must admit, looks very intriguing.

    1. Yes, it does. I like books about intelligence agencies.

  2. OK, the Sue Grafton series. Question for you about that. I've seen that series around quite a bit, but I've always been a bit leery of it. It's mostly based on the corny titles (I mean, with titles that cheesy, how can it be serious crime fiction?). I also automatically distrust any book whose popularity is so (seemingly) high. But what do you think about the series? Am I totally off base? I wanted to ask someone who'd actually read the things, unlike me whose opinion is based solely off of conjecture.

    1. I've only read the first book, so I don't know about the rest, but "A" was a serious novel. Not the best crime novel I've ever read, but not a waste of time either. I'll reread and review it before I continue with the series.

      I've not a huge fan of the series, but that might be because the books are not that famous here, so there are usually only one or two in the shops. I bought these two because I saw them at a used-book fair and remembered I had one at home (that and they looked new and were cheap and in English).
