Mailbox Monday: Three!
I don’t usually join the Mailbox Monday meme. I’ve never met the host, Marcia at The Printed Page.
Well, time to change that, huh?
While this won’t be a weekly thing — there’s still the Monday Poetry Train to consider — it’s fun to do every now and then. Sort of like the other memes I do from time to time.
This week seemed like the best week to join in because I got three books I wanted to blab about.
Two of them came from my friend Dar, at Peeking Between the Pages. She knew I was drooling at the mere thought of
the Painter from Shanghai, written by Jennifer Cody Epstein
and
Mating Rituals of the North American WASP, written by Lauren Lipton.
So she sent them to me. I’m touched and a little overwhelmed; I love sharing books with fellow book lovers. I can’t wait to read these. But sheesh! Have you seen Mt. TBR lately?? All my neighbors comment on it: “Oh, you’re the one with all those books!”
*sigh*
The other book I got this week came from my dear friend Ann. We’ve known each other for years, thanks to BookCrossing.com. (In fact, the link will take you to her BookCrossing profile.)
It’s Night Echoes, written by Holly Lisle.
Once upon a time (Waaaaaay back in 2005), these would have represented one week’s worth of reading. But … not anymore. Which is why I can’t shrink the stupid TBR mountain that my neighbors comment on.
Still, you guys know me. I adore books. These three will be appreciated and hated as they tempt me to abandon the band and read them instead…
LOL! Love your MM post. I loved both of the books that DAR sent you. They are awesome!
