Mailbox Monday October 31


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

So that is what came into my home last week. What new reads made their way into your home?

  14. Hi Beth,

    I 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.

  19. All 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!

  20. We 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!
