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 (started at The Printed Page and now a traveling meme) is at Diary Of An Eccentric 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.

 A few cute ones for the grandkiddos this week and more ebooks for me. I still prefer "real" books but I have been having trouble charging my Nook Color and it's driving my crazy! I've gotten very attached in a short time and I don't know what I would do without it. I hope lots of goodies made their way to your house last week!

Only one book came in the mail but I'm still collecting those free ebooks. I can't resist! I hope you are having the wonderful weather we are enjoying here. It makes me want to get my hammock out early!

 Calico Joe by John Grisham
For review and giveaway from Doubleday

A surprising and moving novel of fathers and sons, forgiveness and redemption, set in the world of Major League Baseball…
In John Grisham’s new novel the baseball is thrilling, but it’s what happens off the field that makes CALICO JOE a classic.

A few goodies came my way last week and it wasn't only books. The little prince of the family has new booties for his sweet tiny feet! What did you find in your mailbox?

I only got one book in my actual mailbox but I got more ebooks and goodies from the library. I just can't resist either one! I've even lucked out with some cute ebooks for the kids. That was one of the reasons that I picked the Nook Color so that we could really enjoy the illustrations in childrens books. It was worth it!
