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

Last week was another great week for acquiring more books!

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.

  1. Ooh fun! Terry Brooks! I've really been wanting to start his Shanarra books - I even recently bought the first one but then accidentally left it in Louisiana at Christmastime. :-(

  10. Thanks to everyone for stopping by! I love the kitty pic too...found it on Google images. I feel sorry for him though. I could never leave Alis out in the cold like that. She's not allowed to go out, although she tries her hardest to get out...but if it's really cold or raining, she runs right back in!

    mummazappa--yes, I have to admit that I LOVE used books sales! Thanks for following!

  12. Looks like a stack of wonderful adventures! I have to check out your Valerie Martin book -- she was once a professor of mine in New Orleans and her books that I've read are pretty good. (Property and Mary Reilly).
