Mailbox Monday ~ March 3rd

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.

By March there are usually some small signs of spring – a few early bulbs poking out of the ground, birds singing, a hint of warm breeze in the air. Nope. None of that this year. We are still buried under snow and breaking all-time cold records for sub-freezing temperatures. So the snowy mailbox stays up for another week.

New Arivals

.
William Shakespeare’s the Empire Striketh Back by Ian Doescher From Quirk Books

The Perfect Score Project: Uncovering the Secrets of the SAT by Debbie Stier .
