Mailbox Monday #111
I hope everyone had a great holiday. Mine was nice and quiet, minus the horrendous loss of the Celtics to the Magic. Very sad. We had a nice Christmas Eve with Anna and her family and got to see The Girl as Gabriel in the Christmas Pageant at her church. She did wonderfully.
Mailbox Mondays (click the icon at the right to check out the new blog) has gone on tour since Marcia at The Printed Page passed the torch. This month our host is Lady Q of Let Them Read Books. Kristi of The Story Siren continues to sponsor her In My Mailbox meme. Both of these memes allow bloggers to share what books they receive in the mail or through other means over the past week.
Just be warned that these posts can increase your TBR piles and wish lists.
Here’s what I received from Anna & her family as Christmas gifts, mostly for our baby girl who isn't quite here yet:
1. The Odious Ogre by Norton Juster and Jules Feiffer
2. It's Christmas, David by David Shannon
3. Tony Baloney by Pam Munoz Ryan and Edwin Fotheringham
4. Thirst No. 2 by Christopher Pike, obviously for me.
5. Bedtime Stories published by Hallmark
These are from my Booklovers Secret Santa: (see photos below of the books and other goodies; Thanks so much Beverly)
6. The Sibling Society by Robert Bly
7. La Dame d'Esprit by Judith P. Zinsser
8. The Beautiful Cigar Girl by Daniel Stashower
