Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. This Meme started with Marcia at A Girl and Her Books (fka The Printed Page) but is now hosted at Mailbox Monday and through various blog hosts.
For DECEMBER: the Mailbox Monday Tour host is Gilion @ Rose City Reader
[It looks like the idea now is to return Mailbox Monday to its permanent home, so check back there next week to make your first MM post of the New Year.]
Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.
No review titles but I received three books as Christmas gifts and a package of lovely chocolates from a blog friend!
Are your mailbox and TBR piles blooming?

None this week.
Purchased
I did purchase a couple of Kindle books at $.99 but it would take too long to figure out which ones of those downloaded I actually purchased. :-)
Free
I managed to find 90 (Yikes!) Kindle titles to download this week - some through Rachel at Bitten by Books who linked up a list of paranormals and others linked through Bookbub, Bookfun, Free Par-tay, Inspired Reads, Pixel of Ink or Kindle ebooks.
