Happy Monday fellow booklovers.
Some wonderful books have arrived at my doorstep these past few weeks.
Why the picture of the elephant above? Not only have I been reading more lately, but I finally picked up my hook and yarn and have been crocheting again. Hopefully my summer crocheting slump is over.
Onto my Mailbox Mondays:
The Girl Made of Cool. Author Alan Sean Fox contacted me about reading and reviewing his book, and I happily accepted. I'm currently reading this now.
The Life O'Reilly was sent to me by author Brian Cohen, and I look forward to reading this one. Suko raved about this one after she read it.
When author Donna Russo Morin contacted me about reading and reviewing The Secret of the Glass, I was thrilled. Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres. 
I read Heartsick last year and really enjoyed it. So when I saw Sweetheart at the bookstore, in the clearance bin of all places, I really couldn't resist. I like finding a hardcover book for $2.50
Sourcebooks sent me an ARC of Emma and the Vampires. How could I resist?
Also from Sourcebooks, Lady of Hay by Barbara Erskine. Another historical fiction I can't wait to read.
Lisa over @ Online Publicist sent me a copy of To Your Dog's Health, which looks really interesting. I hope to find some sound advice to use for my Diego.
And I finally made my way back to the town public library and guess what? The only floor that was open was the childrens room because the rest of the library is being renovated. The good thing was that my children grabbed a few books for summer reading and I grabbed these two books for myself. I'll probably wind up reading these aloud to my daughter. 
I grabbed a copy of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. I think it's about time I read this one. The illustrations are great in this one, I'll definitely include them with my review. 
I also grabbed Skellig by David Almond. I've heard good things about this one through fellow book bloggers.
Enjoy your day. What books arrived at your doorstep recently?
