Woo!  Have I got a mailbox to share with you!  My week started off with a package from Amazon with a book that's been on my wishlist for a loooong time.  And yesterday my daughter and I went to a library book sale where I found some really great books and then continued my lucky streak at a local used bookstore.


From Amazon:

  1. Lots of good stuff there!! I have had a copy of Love and Louis XIV on my shelf for the longest time, and often stop to pick it up and scan through the pages when I walk past. It looks like a great book and I hope you enjoy it!

  3. You got some wonderful books.
    This past week, in the mail I got:
    THE MOON LOOKED DOWN by Dorothy Garlock
    THE CRAZY SCHOOL by Cornelia Read
    TRIUMPH IN ARMS by Jennifer Blake
    BETWEEN FRIENDS by Kristy Kiernan

    I have actually been avoiding book stores, etc. I keep looking at all the books I need to find room for and need to get those organized first. However, I know I'll still keep getting them. There are so many good ones out there.
