Mailbox Monday and It's Monday....What are you reading?






~Mailbox Monday~ 
is hosted by Rose City Reader (January Host)

We share what books that we found in our mailboxes last week.


MAILBOX MONDAY
Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. (Library books don’t count, but eBooks & audiobooks do). Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists!

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at The Printed Page, who graciously hosted it for a long, long time, before turning it into a touring meme (details here).

  5. I really want to read Unbroken soon. My DH loved it. I have Major Pettigrew on my iPod but haven't listened yet. The author is scheduled to be at the indie near me on Thursday. I hope the storm doesn't cause her to cancel! Have a good week, Bonnie.
