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







Mailbox Monday~ 
is hosted by Bluestocking Guide during the month of June
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).


It's been a few months since I posted a Mailbox Monday. I plan for this to be a regular feature this summer and this is what arrived in my mailbox last week:
