Hi everyone and welcome to Monday Matters #76! Most of us hate to see Monday come, but I’m one for making it a bit more fun. Each week I take a look at new book releases, books on TV or film, recent author interviews and more! Life’s too short to hate Mondays so let’s start the week off right! I’m also joining It’s Monday!

I just put in a request for the Mary Balogh book at the library the other day. I read the one before it Remember Me and thought do I buy or do I get from the library? Library won. Enjoy your reading this week.
