Monday Mailbox

As expected last week, this week found a much emptier mailbox for me. But what I lost in quantity, I made up for in quality. Oh, and I was rather unfortunately bad at the bookstore too so don't feel too badly for me about having such a lonely mailbox week (and please don't tell my husband about my lapse either). ;-) This past week's mailbox arrivals:

Tender Graces by Kathryn Magendie came from Deb at Belle Bridge Books.
I really lurve Southern fiction. And I heart fiction about coming home. So fiction that is a Southern coming home? What's not to love? And double bonus that the author is a North Carolina author I can spotlight for my stop on the Literary Road Trip.

Also in my mailbox this week was a beautiful, handmade, ribbon and beaded bookmark from Laura at I'm Booking It. I can't begin to explain how much I love bookmarks so winning this from Laura was just fantastic. That it's totally gorgeous is just icing on the cake.


As always, if you'd like to see the marvelous goodies in other people's mailboxes, make sure to visit Marcia at The Printed Page and enjoy seeing how we are all doing our part to keep the USPS and delivery services viable.

    Haha! I won't tell your husband. I sometimes don't want to post my book acquisitions on my blog because then my husband will see them. He sees the books themselves, of course, but not all in one list where it looks like many. :-)

    Tender Graces sounds like a great book. I love the bookmark!

    The book looks so good and the bookmark is beautiful! I'm going to make some of my own (when I get around to it), I love bookmarks too!
