Hi everyone and welcome to Monday Matters #77! 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!

Nice looking books. I’m not sure I like the new trend for covers. They look too cartoonish to me. And I’m seeing so many like that! Come see my week here. Happy reading!

I’m so behind on commenting, I hope you’ve got some reviews of some of these for me to check out, because there are a few I have on my TBR, like the When Grumpy Met Sunshine and the Takeover!
