Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, totally worn out and screaming,
"WOO HOO, what a ride!"

Mailbox Monday


Mailbox Monday ~ February 16, 2009


Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page. This is my first listing and I did get some goodies. I have plenty to read but I love to see those envelopes and boxes arrive!

Monday 2/9 - Love and Other Natural Disasters by Holly Shumas came from a contest at Booking Mama. Thank you!

Tuesday 2/10 - People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks from a contest at Debbie's World. Thank you!
- The Makedown by Gitty Daneshvari from a contest at A Novel Menagerie. Thank you! (This was a great week for contests!)
- Five books from the Kitty Norville series by Carrie Vaughn. These are for a book blog tour in March sponsored by Hatchette.

Of course I picked up one or two (or three) books from the library too. It would be rude to leave with nothing!
