Mailbox Monday (another late edition)


Mailbox Monday is a weekly event hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page.

First of all, I just have to mention that my home library went over the 1700 books mark this weekend! Woo hoo...can I officially call myself the Queen of the book hoarders?! LOL!

Here are the books that came into my house over this past week. (Click the book titles for plot synopses)

Won (and received in the mail):

This was won from Alexia's Haiku Contest for her 100 Followers celebration.  Here is my winning Haiku:

My heart is stolen.
History has taken it
on a quest through time.

Thanks again Alexia!

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. It means so much.

I apologize for word verification, but as soon as I changed the settings from only users with Google accounts, I started receiving a ton of spam comments...within one hour of changing the settings. The bots are on high alert apparently.
