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.



Thanks to vvb32 reads!
