Mailbox Monday is a meme started by Marcia of To Be Continued. Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. It now has a permanent home at the Mailbox Monday blog.
Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles, and humongous wish lists.
Is it possible I haven't participate in Mailbox Monday since August 28? Wow! My life must truly be crazy. Here is the abridged version: tons of closings and some new listings (made top listing agent in my office in September), continued health issues plague my father-in-law and I'm very involved in his care, it's soccer season, and I'm still trying to pretend I can make time for my writing.
In the book world, I'm doing a bit better with reading but still not a lot of time for that. I'm usually too exhausted. That hasn't stopped me from buying anything. :)
Stopped by Traveler Restaurant in Union, CT in September. You can choose three free books when you dine there and books are also available to purchase. Picked up these two:
This must have been before they decided to separate it into separate volumes to make it more manageable.
This also has different editions now and there are four books in the series.
Being a true Laura Ingalls Wilder fan I picked up these two new books from Amazon:
And who can resist a book sale from Christianbook.com...not me.
This arrived from an author I had read before:
This was received for a virtual book tour:
That's it from me. I pray you all have a great week filled with blessings. Hope you'll share some of your new books here.
I didn't start blogging until my youngest was in college so I'm always impressed that people with young kids, jobs outside the home, etc etc make time to blog. Nice to have a hobby you can fit in your busy life though. I hope your father-in-law's healthy issues improve soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kinds words, Mary. I love blogging, so that really helps motivate me. Appreciate your thoughts on my father-in-law too. Thanks so much for visiting.
DeleteIt sounds like you've really got a full plate right now. I'm impressed that you can blog at all. I've heard great things about Caroline.
ReplyDeleteWhat is that they say: if you want something done, give it to the busiest person you know. I thrive on the chaos. Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate your kindness.
DeleteYou are incredibly busy! I didn't start blogging until a few years after I'd retired...and my kids were all grown.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time for books. I like the look of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books. Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
There is a season to everything in our lives, Laurel. I so enjoy visiting your blog and reading about what you're reading, what's on the menu, and other fun stuff. I appreciate you stopping by. Until next week?
DeleteLove the cover on FRONT PORCH TALES.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS on your being the top listing agent.
ENJOY, and have a good week.

My Mailbox Monday
Thanks, Elizabeth. You're so sweet. It was an unexpected honor. So thrilled you stopped by and visited. Off to see your blog now.
DeleteCongrats on your good month of closings and listings. Glad to see you back at MM. Nice book selections. I have seen The Front Porch. Now you have me wondering if I should go visit Christianbook.com. I need a Christmas book for my ladies book club.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week; happy reading!
Thanks so much, Martha. It's great to see you here. Christianbook.com is one of my favorite sites. Definitely get some awesome bargains.
