Mailbox Monday November 14
Happy Monday! Thank you all for your well wishes for our dogs! Our older dog, Cooper is getting around a little better and our other dog, Jake has finally turned the corner. He is doing much better and even eating without me begging him to eat. Hopefully his stitches will come out today. That will make him a happy camper.
We seem to have a flu bug floating around our house. Lots of coughing going on. I haven't been this sick in a long time. I stayed in bed most of the day yesterday and feel somewhat better today.
It's Monday and we all know what that means! Mailbox Monday! This month Mailbox Monday is back home at Mailbox Monday hosted by Marcia. Thank you Marcia for creating MM! My wish lists wouldn't be the same without you!
These four books came over the past two weeks. One was a purchase, one was a win from Dewey's Read-a-thon donated by Crystal at My Reading Room (thank you Crystal!), and two are for review.
The Scrapbook of Frankie Pratt by Caroline Preston
I have read so many fantastic reviews for this book and I had to see it for myself and purchased it. The story is told through Frankie Pratt's scrapbook. I love anything nostalgic so this will be right up my alley!
The Baker's Wife by Erin Healy
This was my win from Dewey's Read-a-thon courtesy of Crystal. This was on my wish list so I was happy to win it!
The Magic Room by Jeffrey Zaslow
I received this book for review from Gotham Books through Librarything Early Reviewers
How To Save a Life by Sara Zarr
I received this book for review through Amazon Vine
So that is what came into my home the past two weeks. What wonderful reads made their way into your home?
