Welcome to this week’s Mailbox Monday which is hosted this month by Mari Reads.

Last week, Random House India sent over the following books:

  • The Bat by Jo Nesbo – After a wonderful reading experience with Stieg Larsson’s Lizbeth Salander trilogy (see my reviews here, here, and here), I’m back for some more Scandinavian crime fiction. I’ve heard good things about Jo Nesbo’s Harry Hole series and I can’t wait to get started with The Bat – the first book in the series.
  • Deja Dead by Kathy Reichs – I’ve read a couple of later books in the Temperance Brennan series by Kathy Reichs, but I hate reading books out of order as I am never vested in the character or story. So, here I am going back to the beginning of the series.
  • The Source by Ursula James – This book is a bit of a wild card for me. A book about magic that you can perform to improve your life? Sounds flaky, but after a rather stressful year and generally being in the dumps overall, maybe a little self-help book about bringing positivity into your life may do the trick? I sure hope so.

So, I’m pretty excited about the books I got. What books did you get and what are you looking forward to reading? Have you read any of the books I received?

    I loved the Stieg Larsson Millenium trilogy! You got me interested in ‘The Bat’ now. Will check out your reviews for those 3 books.

      @mari: Thanks for visiting and commenting. I just finished this book and it’s pretty thrilling stuff. I enjoyed it very much 🙂

      @Mystica: The Jo Nesbo is not bad. I was expecting something on the lines of the Michael Connelly Harry Bosch series (have you read them? They’re terrific) and I think I have got a watered down version. I do think that the later books will be a lot better.

      I am running a little late on book reviews, but I think my review should be out sometime next week.
