Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.
This Month, Mailbox Monday is being hosted by Serena at Savvy Verse and Wit.
Last week I went on vacation so I didn’t buy as many books as usual. Despite encountering a tropical storm for the first few days of the trip, I enjoyed my family’s first cruise ever to the Bahamas.
Here’s what I picked up this week:
Scandalous Desires (Maiden Lane) by Elizabeth Hoyt
I’d Change My Life If I Had More Time by Doreen Virtue
Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster by Dana Thomas
The Girl in the Gatehouse by Julie Klassen
The 12 Secrets of Highly Successful Women: A Portable Life Coach for Creative Women by Gail McMeekin
You can tell from the picks above that two of my favorite genres are romance and self-improvement.
What about you? What did you pick up this week? Did you stick to your favorite genres or did you choose something a little bit different?
