Mailbox Monday - Aug 24




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.

Well, the end of August is creeping up on us. I spent time with my mother-in-law this weekend. I will be heading home today. We miss her when she isn't with us, but need to keep her safe from COVID and two of us still work outside the house.

On Saturday, I watched Beauty and the Beast with Emma Watson and Dan Stevens. Wow! I would watch it again if I had time. The only good thing about my tinnitus affecting my sleep is that I watch some good TV and movies on the Kindle Fire HD 10. I'm still going through the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated series, but I don't like it as much as the original show. I don't like how they put Frank and Daphne and Shaggy and Velma into relationships with each other. I don't like how Velma is jealous of Shaggy and Scooby's friendship, either.

My physical mailbox did not hold any treasures, but I picked up a new Kindle Unlimited selection and a Kindle freebie.

I recently heard Richard Rothstein speak, which prompted me to add his book to my Kindle Unlimited collection.



I've read a few books by Pamela Samuels Young, so I picked up this Kindle freebie last week.


That's it for me this week. It will be a busy one as I have two closings, a meeting, and am taking the girls back to school shopping for some new clothes. My wallet is already crying.

    1. Thanks, Martha. I've read similar books by Pamela, so I am hoping this one will be just as good.

    2. My girls saw it in the theater, but I didn't get a chance. I'm glad I watched it this weekend. Loved it.
