Mailbox Monday and It's Monday..What Are You Reading?



Mailbox Monday 
is a gathering place for readers to share the books that
came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. 
Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.

I just can't stop myself from visiting NetGalley!! I read several favorable reviews of Robyn Carr's newest series, Thunder Point, so I HAD to try it for myself. And of course when I saw Karin Slaughter's newest, Unseen, I couldn't click request fast enough!!

  11. I'm started to see The Best of Us on several blogs. I hope it's good. I once listened to one of her books twice! I kept thinking 'I think I've read this before'!

    Are you on spring break this week? if yes, enjoy your time off.

  21. you always seem to get some great books from NetGalley

  22. I signed up for NetGalley a long time ago, but started having trouble sitting at a computer to read. Then I finally was able to get a laptop (thanks to a generous son) but kept forgetting about netgalley. Now I think I might have forgotten my password, AND the user name I signed up under. sigh. I'll figure it out one day. In the meantime I did go a little crazy getting books for Kindle through Amazon. ;) So, I'll have to catch up on those.

    Not to mention that crazy TBR pile strewn throughout the house....and garage....there's more than 100 books, people! 100 books +. :)

    Whatever, when I'm too broke to buy books, I have quite a few to choose from, right?

    Enjoy your reading this week!
