Mailbox Monday (click the icon to check out the new blog) has gone on tour since Marcia at To Be Continued, formerly The Printed Page passed the torch. November’s host is I Totally Paused!.
The meme allows 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:

1. The Super Duper Princess Heroes: How It All Started by Sanjay Nambiar for review.
In a marketplace flooded with "princess" paradigms that are all about getting married and dressing up, this refreshing story shows how the lives of good friends Kinney, Oceana, and Sammie change forever when they stumble upon a mysterious bag with magical tiaras inside. Placing the tiaras upon their heads, they transform from regular girls into Super Duper Princess Heroes! Their new powers, however, come with strings attached: to keep the magic going, the girls need to help others, work together as a team, and always be humble about their abilities. Can these awesome girls rise to the challenge and help save the world? Through fun and adventure, the story of the Super Duper Princess Heroes conveys positive messages to young girls about independence, strength, teamwork, and responsibility, demonstrating how some princesses might have higher aspirations than wearing fancy gowns and glittering jewelry.
