Mailbox Monday – 11Apr16
It was a strange week last week: I brought home no library books, I didn’t download any ebooks (nearly unheard of!), and I didn’t have one book come in the mail. It’s mainly because I’m trying to read my own books this year, but still – when I have had this kind of willpower before?
But, just as I was coming up empty for Mailbox Monday, I visited our local Caper Cafe where there is a bookshelf of “bring some, take some” books in support of an insect rescue/restoration fund. There I found this paperback. Look! Carol Shields? Check. Mystery? Check. Literary? Check. All my boxes were ticked before I even got to the cover: a vintage fountain pen, with a journal and a leather-bound book(!!)
There was no question I had to make a donation and bring this book home and, what’s more, begin reading it immediately!
Go on and visit Mailbox Monday and have a look at the wonderful goodies in other people’s mailboxes!

Looks quite good.
Love the cover.

My Mailbox Monday
I’ll take a literary mystery every time. Lucky find!
Enjoy your new mystery!
I didn’t know Carol Shields wrote mysteries – enjoy!
I have loved everything I’ve read by Carol Shields. I have this one on my lists but haven’t read it yet. Look forward to your review!
The cover is a gem, isn’t it, Elizabeth? Thanks for stopping by.
And literary mysteries seem to be hard to find, don’t they, Harvee. Glad you dropped by Exurbanis!
Thank you, Pat – I am doing that! 🙂
I didn’t know either, JoAnn, until I found this book!
I had never heard of this one, Judy, although I have read and admired Carol Shields for years. I’m certainly enjoying this.
Thanks for stopping by!
