Mondays: Mailbox/Whereabouts/Musings

Monday Mailbox is hosted by Marcia.

I received the following three books, thanks to the authors/publicists:

1) The Tricking of Freya by Christina Sunley

A young woman obsessed with uncovering a family secret is drawn into the strange and magical history, language and landscape of Iceland. As Freya becomes increasingly obsessed with unraveling her family’s tangled story, she finds herself delving into the very memories she has worked so hard to forget. When the clues dry up in Gimli, Freya journeys to Iceland itself. On this rugged island of vast lava fields and immense glaciers, Freya’s quest comes to its unsettling conclusion.

2) The Wild Irish Sea by Loucinda McGary

Amber O'Neill gets a telepathic message from her brother and she knows that he is in some kind of trouble. She has to reach him somehow so she rushes to the rocky shores of Ireland. She lands up at the doorstep of Kevin Hennessey, looking for a policeman. He is unable to drive away this dishevveled American female. He offers to help find her brother. However, no one is keen to own up seeing her brother anywhere in the vicinity. Amber and Kevin find themselves into battling out with smugglers. And also with their own attractions. Read more..


3) The Language of Trees by Ilie Ruby

Written in a magic realist vernacular, THE LANGUAGE OF TREES examines the tremulous bonds between parents and children,lovers and friends, and restless spirits—both living and not. It is a story that will make you believe that the spirits of those we love watch over us, that people can heal each other, and that if you can truly forgive yourself, the world will return to you all of your forgotten dreams.

Do you review books? If so, for who? If not, have you ever thought about doing so? Why, or why not?

Like most book bloggers, I do review books. I review almost all that I read. Some for my own pleasure and others, if I am asked by the authors or publicists. At times, I have also received books from authors, that I contacted.

Who doesn't like receiving free books? In a way I also get to read books, I wouldn't have otherwise done so. I get to read a wide and varied genre of books.
