    Great mailbox. I loved The Greatest Knight and will be reading A Place Beyond Courage at some point in the next month or two. I'm very jealous you received a review copy of The Secret Keeper. I can't wait to read that one! I look forward to your thoughts on it.

    Wow, Enchantment got there quick! Excellent. I can't wait to see what everyone thinks on Sept. 18 about The Mapmaker.

    I also received Beautiful Lies, which I'm looking forward to.

    My Heart is Boundless is not my usual kind of read. But I am interested. Also,The Secret Keeper's cover caught my attention.

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!)
