Mailbox Monday: December 19, 2011

It's Mailbox Monday time! Mailbox Monday is going on tour and December is being hosted by Let Them Read Books! Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week (checked out library books don’t count, eBooks and audio books do). Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists!


Well I feel like this weekend was the calm in between two storms! I've had weekends that were jam backed since the first of November and next weekend is Christmas and we head out of town. This weekend, oddly, we didn't have a lot planned. I wanted to take advantage! We did however make some decisions about the wedding and finalize our color scheme, wedding party, and start talking to officiants. So much to do!


Now onto the books:


From WM Morrow for an upcoming TLC Book Tour:
1. More Than Words Can Say by Robert Barclay




















2. Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal by Conor Grennan




















From Broadway:
3. The Discovery of Jeanne Baret: The Story of Science, The High Seas, and the First Woman to Circumnavigate the Globe by Glynis Ridley




















From Wunderkind PR:
4. The Greenhouse by Audur Ava Olafsdottir




















What did you get?

  2. Little Princes is on my list to read (embarrassingly, it has been for about a year but I will now make the PB publication!)
