Mailbox Monday ~ March 27th

WelcomeBirdhouseMailbox-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.

Happy Monday! I’ve been reading but not doing a lot of writing, so there are a bunch of reviews to catch up on. Perhaps it’s a touch of spring fever, but I’ve had the urge to throw open the windows, clean up the house and garden, and start planting veggies.

Last week was a great week for new books. Earlier this month, HarperCollins hosted an online preview of some of their upcoming summer titles from a variety of imprints, and I was lucky enough to win a tote filled with the books featured by William Morrow Paperbacks.
