Mailbox Monday

Mailbox Monday (started at The Printed Page and now a traveling meme) is at BermudaOnion's Weblog 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.

Busy, busy, busy! But not really getting much accomplished... You how this time of year gets - from Halloween on it's a flurry of birthdays and holidays. Last week we had our grandson's first birthday. I thought the time went fast with my own kids but I think it's going even faster now! Then we hosted a family Thanksgiving dinner at our house and hubby cooked a delicious meal. I was in charge of clean up and I'm still doing dishes. I even got in some Black Friday shopping with a friend - from my comfy couch on the computer. I hope you had a very happy Thanksgiving week and are finding lots of bargains too.

Now I'm trying to catch up on a few things while the house is quiet. I've got great books to read, reviews to post and a giveaway or two coming up. These are some of the books that arrived over the last few weeks. It's quite an interesting mix! What books found their way to your house?

 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!

Our vacation at the lake is over (*heavy sigh*) and since we had no internet I have some catching up to do. I'm behind on a few memes and I'll be posting reviews and giveaways. These are the goodies I got during the last week or so. I hope you had plenty of good things in your mailbox as well!

I was lucky enough to spend some time with my nephews for a few days last week. I stayed with them while their parents went away for an anniversary trip. I didn't get much reading done but I got to skip stones, look for fish, shoot baskets, eat popcicles on the porch, go to the pool and go to dinner with two handsome young men. What more could I ask for?

I did get some goodies recently so I had to join in for Mailbox Monday even if I'm late. I hope you had some pleasant surprises as well!

I'm a little late this week but I have a good excuse. I was enjoying the sunshine and playing with my baby grandson. It doesn't get much better than that! I hope your week is off to a great start as well.
