Mailbox Monday ~ March 31st

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.

Yesterday the weather finally warmed up so I took my books outside for a photo to take advantage of the natural light, but the background ended up dull and, well, dead. In another month or so the perennial garden will be back and so will the color. Later today I will be putting my audiobooks to use while I begin garden cleanup.

This was a busy week for my mailbox with an assortment of print books plus a few audio downloads. Here’s what arrived:
