Mailbox Monday

 Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at A Girl and Her Books.  Mailbox Monday is currently on tour and this month it is making it's home with Jenny Q at Let Them Read Books.

This month I wouldn't be surprised if my mailman started forwarding me his chiropractor bills.  It has been phenomenal!  Packages at the doorstep!  Mailbox bursting at the seams! I love it!  I did make myself a tiny promise that if I got $ for Christmas or my birthday I would use it toward practical things I need-NO BOOKS.  Using a giftcard I got for Amazon, I decided to have a last splurgy hurrah.  See results of said hurrah below :)

Right after I requested At the Mercy of the Queen and The Crown from NetGalley, I was asked to be part of the tour for them through Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours.  It's a sign I was meant to read them :)

DEAR SANTA,

Um, due to being incredibly blessed in the book department recently, I will not be needing books for Christmas (but you can still send some if you want-I've been good.  I swear!!!)
