It felt like Christmas everyday last week and the mail lady was none too pleased as I also had several large boxes arrive from a few different places. (Hey, she gets a gift at Christmas and it is her job so she should suck it up and smile --right?)

I love the cover of 100 Days of Happiness! I hope you and your granddaughters enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteOooh - Saint Mazie! I loved that one (read it rather than listened). I was a bit disappointed with Among the Ten Thousand Things, despite the hype.
ReplyDeleteRainy Day Sisters sounds lovely - haven't seen it before.
ReplyDeleteThe Dressmaker sounds intriguing!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to get 'If You Were a Panda Bear' for my daughter. It looks like something she would love!
Wonderful books, Diane. Enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteLovely haul! Hope you enjoy them all. I am really curious about Rainy Day Sisters.
ReplyDeleteHere are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Another great haul!
ReplyDeleteSome great titles...enjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteLike your selection of reads. Such a nice mixed bunch.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read Saint Mazie. It sure sounds good. I love the title The Language of Hoofbeats. I hope you enjoy your new books, Diane!
ReplyDeleteYour new books look really interesting! Also, you always manage to find great children's books!
ReplyDeleteGreat reading ahead, enjoy!
ReplyDelete"Dressmaker" looks good. Have a good reading week.
ReplyDelete100 Days of Happiness sounded so interesting when I was queried to read and review it; I've just had too much on my plate this summer, especially with a tooth implant gone awry. At any rate, how thrilling your selection looks, especially the latest re-release of Haruki Murakami's first two books!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you enjoy all of the books that you got this week. I hope I can get a week like yours one day!
ReplyDeleteSo many great looking titles there Diane. The premise of 100 Days of Happiness has particularly caught my attention - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGreat mailbox! It's fun to receive new books in the mail! I will look forward to your reviews. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter was looking over my shoulder and wants that panda book
ReplyDeleteOh my...I want them all.
ReplyDeleteEspecially Rainy Day Sisters, The Dressmakers, and The Language of Hoofbeats.
ENJOY!!
I know I am late for last Monday's Mailbox Monday when tomorrow is a new one. :)
