Mailbox Monday, March 14

Seen both at The Printed Page (hosted in March at I'm Booking It) and The Story Siren, my Mailbox Monday/In My Mailbox for the first half of March.  You'll see I've got a metric ton of books to review -- pretty much something for every week of March and April.  I'm so excited!  What did you get?  Planning to read any of these?

    Right?! I've definitely achieved my life dream here -- kind of can't believe how lucky I am! My wife was laughing at me b/c I spent Saturday stacking books around me in my own bookish nest.

    Nice mailbox. I picked up the ebook of To Defy a King. Sounds really good, doesn't it?

    I've been on an Elizabeth Chadwick kick lately. To Defy a King is on my shelf but I haven't gotten to it yet. Happy reading!

Seen both at Mailbox Monday -- hosted in February at Metro Reader -- and The Story Siren, my Mailbox Monday/In My Mailbox. What an insane week! And by insane, I mean, amazing. This might win for the most arrivals in a week since I've started blogging. Honestly, my jaw is on the ground -- I'm blown away and super excited to read all these. What did you get this week? Read any of these?

I'm reminded of...: Anne Lamott

First line: We live in a fast-forward world.

Did... I squee a little seeing Thaisa Frank quoted in this volume?: YES. I've really enjoyed Thaisa Frank's writing, and love seeing people I love getting love, and discovered she's not related to this author (as Joan Frank explains in her A…

My Mailbox Monday, Feb 11

Well. Still digging out from the snowpocalypse but we've got power and hadn't lost it, so despite the drifts, we're winning, I think! And happily, a glut of books arrived earlier in the week meaning I still have a meaty Mailbox Monday for this week. (And plenty to read while staying in!) Click on the image to learn more about a book; link should open in a new tab/window.

Won thanks to Wonders & Marvels -- especially excited as this book was listed as a reference for Maryka Biaggio's Parlor Games, which I just loved.
