Mailbox Monday September 22, 2014

Welcome to Mailbox Monday.
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) and after a tour of hosts has returned to its permanent home at Mailbox Monday.
Thanks to the ladies sharing hosting duties: Leslie of Under My Apple Tree, Serena of Savvy Verse & Wit and Vicki of I'd Rather Be at the Beach.
Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.

I received three review books to start preparing for the holiday season. I also selected an Audible book with one of my monthly credits. I purchased three $.99 Kindle books.
I also discovered six free Audible books and downloaded many free kindle titles.

(I still have many author requests to consider and reply to. I just haven't found time to cull through these)

Are your mailbox and TBR piles blooming?

Review Titles

I was invited to read several Christmas titles so I received three from NetGalley this week:
All three of these will be read in October

"Christmas, Colorado, will get you in the spirit for love all year long." --- Jill Shalvis, New York Times bestselling author
Love is the best Christmas gift of all.
...
If word ever got out about their night together-the night he's never been able to forget-the scandal could cripple his career. Yet as he starts his campaign, Ethan finds that, like the town of Christmas itself, he can't get Skye out of his head . . . or his heart.

What a Lady Needs for Christmas (MacGregor Series)

The Best Gifts are the Unexpected Ones...
