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


~ March 23rd





Thank you to Marcia at the Printed Page.


Thursday 3/19
Everyone Is Beautiful by Katherine Center
Lanie has packed up her three small kids and moved across the country so her husband could become a musician. Years later she needs to find herself again and not just be the mom and wife.
- This was from the Library Thing Early Reviewer program.

Saturday 3/21
Afraid by Jack Kilborn
A helicopter crash near a small town has brought on unimaginable terror. The residents are being killed and only three people can stop it.
The 8th Confession by James Patterson
The 8th book in the Woman's Murder Club series. A killer has a taste for the super rich.
Busy Woman Seeks Wife by Annie Sanders
A novel about every woman's fantasy - having a "wife" to run her life for her.
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do by Anne Dayton and May Vanderbilt
#2 in The Miracle Girls series (YA). The girls have returned from summer break to start their sophomore year of high school. Anger issues may break up their friendships.
- These titles all came from Hatchette Books.


Used Book Sale
A Rose From The Dead (A Flower Shop Mystery) by Kate Collins
Abby is a law school dropout who bought herself a flower shop in her home town. Mysteries and murders tend to follow.
I found this at my library and was thrilled because I had found the first five in the set there last fall. I think there is a good chance it's from the same person. I'll just have to wait for her/him to keep reading and donating these books so I can buy them and read the whole series. I'll be waiting!


Library
Just After Sunset by Stephen King
His newest book of scary short stories.

    I have recently started reading my library copy of Just After Sunset -- my first Stephen King ever. Unfortunately I have to return it on Wednesday, so I'm not sure how many stories I will get read :(

    THANK YOU so very much for the award -- I am truly honored. I will boast (blog) about it shortly!!

    Thank you for stopping by the mailbox this week. I read 'Everyone is beautiful' last year and really liked it. I just finished 'Afraid' earlier this week and you'll need an iron cast stomach to get through it. I liked it but then I'm a fan of horror. I can't watch but I can read it. :-)
