Mailbox Monday ~ August 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.
It’s been a fun week in my own backyard with my garden producing loads of delicious veggies, lots of flowers, and all of them needing endless amounts of watering. It was a hot week. I didn’t have to go far to watch birds last week either. Besides all the usual traffic at the birdbaths and the feeders, a nest of robins fledged and the youngsters were hanging around the yard for a few days.
Also, a few new books arrived last week . . .
Print Books
The Tsar of Love and Techno by Anthony Marra from Hogarth.
From the New York Times bestselling author of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena—dazzling, poignant, and lyrical interwoven stories about family, sacrifice, the legacy of war, and the redemptive power of art.

My garden is currently gasping for relief from the heat! Looks like your mailbox produced some pretties as well. I’m really curious about The Witches but they all sound interesting.

I love the way you display your books with your flowers, etc. I miss green gardens…around here, even the lawns are pretty brown, (our ongoing drought), as people can only water once a week.
Enjoy your books! Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
