Happy Halloween! We had trick or treat in our neck of the woods yesterday. It was cold, windy and rainy! Not ideal weather for trick or treaters. We had a few brave kids but not as many as we usually have.
It's Monday and we all know what that means! Mailbox Monday! This months hostess is Serena at Savvy Verse and Wit.
I received a few books this week for review, plus a surprise audiobook and a gorgeous bookmark I won from a mini-challenge during Dewey's Read-a-thon. It's a beautiful variegated knitted bookmark. My picture does not do the bookmark justice. Trust me, it is gorgeous! I won it from Fancy Terrible Book Reviews. Thank you ladies! Be sure to stop by and say "hi" to them!
These are the books I received.
The Third Reich(audiobook) by Roberto Bolano read by Simon Vance-courtesy of MacMillan Audio

The World We Found by Thrifty Umrigar-courtesy of Harper Collins
The America's Test Kitchen Menu Cookbook-courtesy of Amazon Vine

Hi Beth,
ReplyDeleteI think that 'The Dressmaker' must be doing the rounds at the moment, as it seems to have appeared in several mailboxes, so it is already on my list to read.
I love the bookmark, in fact wherever we go, I always find myself looking out for any particularly nice or different ones.
Thanks or a nice post this week and enjoy your books.
Yvonne
I just added The Dressmaker to my wishlist! It sounds so good.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new reads!
I have never thought about knitting a bookmark before - might have to think a little more about that one! Great reads this week - I would like the Test Kitchen one.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Thanks for visiting my blog! I got the Dressmaker from Netgalley and look forward to reading it :)
ReplyDeleteI love the bookmark and I'm looking forward to your thoughts on the Third Reich book. Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteAll those titles are new to me, can't wait to see what you think of them. This weather lately has been so off. I think Mother Nature is trying to tell us something!
ReplyDeleteWe had a whopping 26 kids for Halloween which is more than we've had for the last few years. I love to see the little ones in their costumes. It looks like you got some good books there. Enjoy!
