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.
This week I have three home inspections, but I am hoping for a slightly less hectic schedule than what it has been. Our week was filled with soccer, driving the Lil' Diva to work, real estate appointments, and a dead car. Thankfully it didn't cost us the farm to fix it.
My mailbox held this great graphic novel that arrived directly from the publisher.
Cici dreams of being a novelist. Her favorite subject: people, especially adults. She’s been watching them and taking notes. Everybody has one special secret, Cici figures, and if you want to write about people, you need to understand what’s hiding inside them. But now she’s discovered something truly strange: an old man who disappears into the forest every Sunday with huge pots of paint in all sorts of colors. What is he up to? Why does he look so sad when he comes back?
In a graphic novel interwoven with journal notes, scrapbook pieces, and doodles, Cici assembles clues about the odd and wonderful people she’s uncovered, even as she struggles to understand the mundane: her family and friends.
What did your mailbox hold? Here's hoping you have a blessed week.
Don't you just hate when cars break down at the wrong time? I'm glad it got fixed at a low cost to you. I hope you had a great week.
