In My Mailbox #99 - Semaine du 8 au 14 octobre 2018




Bonjour à tous !




Je suis très heureuse de vous retrouver aujourd'hui pour mon In My Mailbox.


In My Mailbox (ou IMM) est un rendez-vous mis en place par Kristi, du blog The Story Siren et inspiré par Alea, du blog Pop Culture Junkie. C'est un moyen de partager les livres reçus chaque semaine dans notre boîte aux lettres, mais aussi les livres achetés ou empruntés en bibliothèque.
C'est le blog Lire ou mourir qui s'occupe des In My Mailbox français. 





Un petit IMM tout en anglais, cette semaine, avec ...


... juste deux romans de littérature contemporaine :



✦ Cherry Cola Book Club, tome 1 : The Cherry Cola Book Club, de Ashton Lee 





With its corrugated iron siding and cramped interior, the Cherico, Mississippi, library is no Antebellum gem. But for young librarian Maura Beth Mayhew, it's as essential to the community as the delicious desserts at the Twinkle, Twinkle Café. It's a place for neighbors to mingle and browse through the newest bestsellers, for the indomitable Miss Voncille Nettles to host her "Who's Who in Cherico?" meetings. The library may be underfunded and overlooked, but it's Maura Beth's pride, and she won't let the good ole boys on the City Council close it down without a fight.

Which is why Maura Beth has founded the Cherry Cola Book Club--a last-ditch attempt to boost circulation and save her job. Over potluck dinners featuring treasured family recipes, the booklovers of Cherico come together to talk about literary classics. But soon it's not just Margaret Mitchell and Harper Lee being discussed over chicken gumbo and homemade biscuits with green pepper jelly. Secrets are shared, old dreams rekindled, and new loves slowly blossom.

Southern charm, wit, and warmth combine in this delightful novel about great books, true friends, and the stories that give life its richest meaning, on and off the page.

255 pages




✦ Cape Light, tome 1 : Cape Light, de Thomas Kincade & Katherine Spencer 



Thomas Kincade, also known as the Painter of Light, is a true American phenomenon. Beloved by millions for his paintings, Thomas Kincade is often asked by his fans what kind of people inhabited his landscapes. Cape Light is the answer. 
Thomas Kincade has become a modern-day Norman Rockwell, painting, in his words, scenes that serve as places of refuge for battle-weary people. In this novel, he invites readers to enter a similar place of refuge: Cape Light. Nestled in Coastal New England, this picturesque little village is a seaside hamlet where folks still enjoy a strong sense of community, and everybody cares about their neighbors. they are friends and neighbors, doers and dreamers. They are the people who laugh and love and build their lives together in the town of Cape Light--and their story will capture readers' hearts forever.
