Mailbox Monday ~ December 29th

giftbooksjpgThank you to everyone who stops by Mailbox Monday. Whether you comment or visit I appreciate your taking the time to drop in.

Mailbox Monday will be a bit different over the next few weeks. Because I’m the curious type when it comes to books (yours) and all things related feel free to show off those books, gift cards, bookmarks, book lights and covers or anything else book related you may have gotten. To give everyone time to share your holiday stash all things book related may be listed starting with today’s post through Monday, January 12th.

As for me I’ll be supporting Amazon over the next several months. It’s not like they really need my spare change but I figure it’s supporting the book industry in a round about way. Hot damn and lucky me I have book dollars (thank you Mom, the Hausers and the Larsens) just burning holes in my pockets!

Side notes:

Lorraine Kleinwaks, VP, Book Wish Foundation sent me a note asking if I’d spread the word about a holiday book campaign for the refugees in Darfur. As reading is an important part of my life I wanted to pass this along to my all my visitors. For every two MM comments left on this blog over the next 3 weeks I will donate $1 to the holiday book campaign.

Review copies available: Mainline to the Heart and Other Poems by Clive Matson. Check it out here.

Need a break from the snow piled up outside your front door? Why not take a trip to Mexico. It won’t cost you a dime and you can come back and visit any time. (Psst … I’ve posted our vacation pics)
