Mailbox Monday (started at The Printed Page and now a traveling meme) is at 5 Minutes For Books this month and is the gathering place for readers to share the
books that came into their house last
week (checked out library books don’t count,
eBooks & audio books do). Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.
~~~~~~~~~~~~I can't believe it's already mid-August. Ugh. I get so depressed this time of year knowing that summer is winding down. It bothered me even more when my kids were in school and I was still a teacher. I just need to shake it off and enjoy the amazing sunshiny weather we will still have coming our way. I do love to be outside and I have several cozy places to curl up with a good book. Of course, my favorite is my hammock. I've probably never mentioned that here, have I? HA!
I hope you're enjoying your mid-August days and that plenty of great reads have made their way to your home. These are some of my goodies from last week!
The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom
For review from NetGalley (ebook)
The Bourne Imperative by Eric Van Lustbader
Won from Under My Apple Tree (hardcover)
Lock Down By Sean Black

Enjoy all your new books.
ReplyDeleteI just retired from 34 years of teaching in January. It feels a bit strange not getting ready to go back, but I think I will get over it!!! Tee Hee.

Lucky you! That's an amazing career!!
DeleteI felt the same way when I left teaching. I missed the kids so much but I loved being home. Enjoy! You've earned it!
I love the Bourne books -- lucky you!
ReplyDeleteAlso I am curious about the new Mitch Albom novel. His stories are always inspirational.
Happy reading!
Those look good. I'm especially interested in Mitch Albom's novel. Might have to see if that's still available.

I'm planning on enjoying the rest of the summer too, even though it's been a hot one. Today's a rainy day so I get to catch up on reading and visiting blogs. Hope you enjoy the Bourne book.
