Mailbox Monday (October 17)

Mailbox Monday buttonMailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books they received during the previous week. Warning: MM can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and huge wish lists! Mailbox Monday, which was started by Marcia (who now blogs at A girl and her books) is on blog tour—this month, it’s hosted by Serena at Savvy Verse & Wit.

October is Book Fair Month in my world, although I won’t be going to the Quebec City Women’s Club Book Fair in Quebec City this year. (The McGill Book Fair starts tomorrow and I’ll be there!) To make up for missing the one in Quebec City, I attended the Concordia Used Book Fair this year, although I was only there for the last hour on the second (and last) day. I still managed to score three books I wanted:

I also received two books I’d ordered this week:
And I forgot to mention that I received an autographed copy of The Glimpse Traveler by Marianne Boruch from the publisher, Indiana University Press. They had previously sent me a galley copy to review, so I’m happy to have a final copy that’s autographed no less! (Read my review.)



What did you find in your mailbox this past week? For other Mailbox Monday posts, head over to Savvy Verse & Wit.
