Mailbox Monday ~ January 16th

WinterBirdsMailbox-sml 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.

A variety this week . . .

January is Vintage Scifi Month, and when I saw that The Lathe of Heaven, a classic scifi novel that I never got around to reading, was being re-released in audio, I just had to request it.

Even though I have a backlog of NetGalley reads, I couldn’t resist adding two more. I’ll just have to read a little faster.
