Mailbox Monday ~ February 17th

Welcome to Mailbox Monday, created by Marcia of To Be Continued, a place where readers share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week.

After several years of being on tour with different blogs as the monthly host, the Mailbox Monday Blog is now the permanent home for the meme.

With all the snow we’ve had this season I’m amazed that the mail service and UPS can keep deliveries on schedule, but they do. I received three print books and one audiobook last week. I try to keep the snow cleared from my walkways but I’m running out of places to put it.

A bright spot in this dreary winter has a been a family of cardinals that have taken a liking to my backyard, although I’m sure the safflower seed and heated water keep them happy.
