Mailbox Monday ~ June 23rd

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.

 
This was a good week for the mailbox with a nice mix of print and audio books. Did you know this is audiobook month? Book Journey is celebrating the entire month with great stories, interviews and a giveaway. Check it out!

If it seemed like I wasn’t around much last week, this is why: My main computer, the desktop with the big hard drives, all my photos, editing software, financial data – pretty much my digital life – crashed. It took me a few days to diagnose the problem (corrupted partition), reinstall windows, software and recover my data. Fortunately I retrieved everything except the database index that contained the tags and descriptions of my photos. On the positive side, I can listen to audio while I manually open every photo and re-tag it. Grumble.
