Mailbox Monday ~ April 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.
It’s been another busy week with reading and blogging once again on the back burner. And now that the weather has finally turned spring-like, I have a very messy yard to start cleaning up before I can get my flowers and veggies in for the season.
This coming Saturday is the 24 Hour Readathon, a twice yearly (and one of my favorite) events where readers across the globe participate at the same time. I have never made the entire 24 hours, but even 5 or 6 hours would make me happy! This might be what I need to get back into my reading grove.
A few new books in the mailbox . . .

All new to me. In ten years of blogging I still haven’t been able to participate in a readathon. I can’t this weekend either. I hope you get a good chunk of reading in!
