Mailbox Monday - 1/2/2017

 
Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week.

Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles, and humongous wish lists!

Mailbox Monday, created by Marcia @ A Girl and Her Books, has a permanent home now at Mailbox Monday.
 *****************
Every week Mailbox Monday will have a new linky posted for our Mailbox Monday links at Marcia's Mailbox Monday blog.

Here’s a shout out to the administrators:

 Leslie of Under My Apple Tree 
Serena @ Savvy Verse And Wit
Martha of Reviews By Martha's Bookshelf

 THANKS to everyone for keeping Mailbox Monday alive.

I hope you had a good mailbox.

Happy New Year!!

On Thursday, December 29, I received:

I had read and reviewed the ARC copy in January of this year and was happy to receive the finished copy as a surprise.

Thanks, Katie.

On Friday, December 30, I received:

1.  THE ALMOST SISTERS by Joshilyn Jackson, courtesy of Lauren Lauzon of Harper Collins.

    Hi Elizabeth,

    Your two books this week, seem to be doing the blogging rounds, although I'm not too sure that either of them would be for me through choice!

    'The Things We Keep' does sound intriguing, but given my FIL steadily deteriorating condition as a result of the disease, it just doesn't seem appropriate to be reading it right now, it's a bit too close to home for comfort!

    Thanks for sharing and I hope that 2017 turns out to be a good year for you :)

    Yvonne

      Yes...lots of bloggers have received The Almost Sisters.

      I agree that The Things We Keep would be difficult for you. It was difficult for me when I read it.

      I I hope 2017 is a great year for you too.

      Thanks for stopping, Yvonne,
