Mailbox Monday ~ October 13th
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.
Last week I received mostly audiobooks, which is good since lately I’ve been doing much more listening than reading. I’ve been spending a lot of time working at the computer the past few weeks and my eyes are, apparently, demanding a rest. When I do sit down to read in the evening, I often fall asleep!
I planted a little pumpkin patch at the edge of my garden this summer using the seeds from one of last year’s gourds. I got lots of vines and flowers, but only three little pumpkins.

I bet the audiobook of You is super creepy. Good listening for Halloween (it’s a great story; twisted, but great).

I’m listening to and reading creepy stories this month for RIP IX, so twisted sounds good! I already loaded it onto my mp3 player.
