Mailbox Monday: April 6, 2009

 

Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia at the Printed Page.  It’s a chance to share what has come into our homes in the past week, and most likely to add some new titles to our wish lists, after spotting books in other Mailbox Monday posts.

OK, repeat after me:  BOOK BONANZA!  I’ve been acquiring books at [...]

Mailbox Monday: March 23, 2009

 

 

Mailbox Monday is a weekly meme hosted my Marcia at the Printed Page.  Here’s a quick look at what was added to my TBR pile this past week.  TBR pile?  Yes, I mean it literally!  It’s time to spring clean the bookcases, get my books off the floor and give them the respect they deserve [...]

Mailbox Monday: March 9, 2009

Each Monday, Marcia at the Printed Page asks what has come into our hands in the past week.  Today I have two to add:

I liked the message in Three Cups of Tea, and even borrowed the phrase recently when I wrote about my upcoming Breast Cancer 3-Day walk this summer.  If you’re not familiar with [...]

Mailbox Monday: March 2, 2009

Mailbox Monday is a weekly meme hosted by Marcia at the Printed Page.  It’s where we dish about books that have come into our hands in the past week.

My kids are home on a snow day today (we got the automated call announcing the school closure before dinner on Sunday!), so I’ve resurrected the mailbox-in-a-snowbank [...]

Mailbox Monday: February 23, 2009

 Who likes going on vacation?

Who likes coming home and going thru all the mail that has accumulated in your absence?

That was the fun I had when we returned from a week away during the kids’ school break.  Not only did we enjoy the time in sunny Orlando (and were happy when we got home to [...]

Mailbox Monday: February 16, 2009

 

Welcome to another edition of Mailbox Monday, hosted by Marcia at the Printed Page.

Today is President’s Day, a U.S. Federal Holiday, so nothing will be delivered today (sob, weep, woe is me!).  Here’s a look at what came into the house over the past week:

Two (yes, count ‘em, ONE … TWO!) beautiful books for upcoming author [...]

Mailbox Monday, hosted by Marcia at the Printed Page, is a weekly round-up of the books that have crossed over my doorstep this week:

The Towering World of Jimmy Choo by Lauren Goldstein Crowe and Sagra Maceira de Rosen.  Kind of ironic that I’m reviewing this book.  I wouldn’t know a Jimmy Choo from a Slim [...]

Mailbox Monday: February 2, 2009

 

Welcome to another edition of Mailbox Monday, hosted by Marcia at the Printed Page.  Here’s a peek at some of the books that have come into my hands this past week (and, no, that’s not my child struggling to put a letter in the snow-covered mailbox, I downloaded the photo from the Internet).

Our “tween” has [...]

Mailbox Monday: January 26, 2009

Welcome to Mailbox Monday!  This is not my mailbox, my snowbank, my house, or my snowsuit-clad child!  I pulled the picture from the Parade magazine website after looking for a “mailbox in the snow” pic.  I didn’t want to post mine, since the snow is not freshly-fallen and looks, well, dirty like the snow in [...]

Mailbox Monday: January 5, 2008

Hey, it’s January 5 … do you know what that means?!  My kids are back in school after almost two weeks off for winter break!  If you hear a happy roar coming from New England, it’s only me kicking up my heels 

It also means all kinds of New Year’s resolutions (I didn’t make [...]
