Welcome to Mailbox Monday, a meme started by Marcia of To Be Continued.
I received the following books over the last couple of weeks.
Virgin Gingelly is by V.Sanjay Kumar. I know nothing about the book or the author, however the publicist (who so far has never been wrong) is very positive about this book. I received it on Friday ( a lovely hardback). The blurb on the back of the book has this to say
A smoky medium.
A viscous oil that marinates gunpowder, anoints heads and crisps appalams.
An uptight Brahmin.
Apart from the above information, a quick scan of the book reveals that the story is based in my hometown of Chennai. Sounds interesting. I love diving blind into books.
The other book is a bunch of short stories – The Dog Who Healed a Family and other True Animal Stories by Jo Coudert. All the stories in this collection are true stories about animals. It’s been ages since I read any animal stories and I look forward to this one. This book came to me from Harlequin India, which is a bit of a surprise, I thought they mainly dealt with romance.
Virgein Gingelly came to me from Hatchette India.
So, these are the books that I am excited to read and discuss on the blog. Have you read these books? Did you get any interesting ones?
ENJOY your reading week.
Stop by for giveaways on my blog if you like.

Gorgeous covers! Enjoy your books 🙂
@samstillreading:disqus Thanks. I love the cover for Virgin Gingelly especially appealing.
I love books about dogs! Love the cover of the Kumar book!
@VickiSN:disqus I love dog books too. It might have been tedious if all the stories were just about dogs, but I gather from the blurb that some other animals also make an appearance.
