Mysteriously



I love surprises.

Six bags of beautiful books appeared at my house yesterday. Six bags. That's sixty-four books. All children's books. All mysteries.

These will be perfect for my school library, of course.

But how can I pass them on without perusing them a bit first?  ;->




Don't these look wonderful? 
Have you read any of these? 
Thoughts?


The Sunday Salon is open to anyone who'd like to discuss books of a Sunday (or, frankly, any other day of the week). We've actually been around for some years -- see http://dhamel.typepad.com/sundaysalon/ -- but managing the group via that site became a problem because of its size and we had to limit membership to a little over 500 members. I'm now throwing the doors open to anyone who'd like to participate. Discuss what you're reading here, or link to relevant blog posts, or comment on one another's posts. Enjoy.

    I'd be interested to see who sent them on to you. Children are going to be very happy.

    I see you're reading about Mr. Penumbra's bookstore. I read it a few weeks ago. Liked it quite a bit.

    Haven't read any of those, but I did read the first Incorrigible Children book and it was fun for middle grade.

    Lucky you to have such a benefactor!

    AWESOME!!!
    I just read book 1 of The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place - The Mysterious Howling and it was really good.
    I haven't seen any of the others before but it looks like a good selection. Lucky kids. :D

    How fantastic! The books have certainly landed in the right spot. I haven't read any of the ones you've pictured, but love the covers of the Incorrigible Children and the Templeton Twins. I'm sure you'll get to reading a few of them before they make it to the library.
