So Nice to Come Home To

May 2, 2013 by Claire (The Captive Reader)

Sorting through the mammoth mail pile that accumulates during a holiday is rarely pleasant but this week it was a delight. Amidst all the bills and bank statements and junk flyers were three items guaranteed to excite me: the two newest Persephone books (The Exiles Return and Heat Lightning) and the Persephone Biannually. Now I just have to figure out which of these to read first!

  It looks fantastic so I hope you get your hands on a copy before too long!

I just ordered The Exiles Return and after loving The Hare with Amber Eyes, I can’t wait to read it.

  I haven’t read The Hare with Amber Eyes but have the feeling that after reading The Exiles Return I might want to give it a try.

I got a similar package a while back and have just read Heat Lightening. Absolutely wonderful novel! My review is here if you are interested. http://harrietdevine.typepad.com/harriet_devines_blog/2013/05/heat-.html
Haven’t read the other one yet, but I so recommend Helen Hull.

  Okay, that settles it: I am going to have to start with Heat Lightning!

  Nothing is more exciting than a Persephone package!

I have not heard of any of them, but yay that you’ve received them and can’t wait to consume them.

I have the Exiles Return, it looks great, though I have seven Persephones TBR at the moment 🙂

  I have waaaaay more than 7 Persephones in my TBR but, right now, these newest arrivals are the ones I am most excited about reading.
