    Reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children right now.

    The Krakauer book looks interesting, enjoyed the author's past work. Three Cups of Deceit, enlightening to be sure.

Mailbox Monday (49)

It's time for another Mailbox Monday post!  Once again I could not resist the cheap ebooks that Amazon and Barnes and Noble were promoting this week.  I really need to stop!  I already have more than I can read.  I also was able to spend a little time browsing at the library and I came home with a nice stack of books.  These days, I hardly ever get to spend time at the library by myself for more than a minute or two so it was wonderful to have time to just wander and see what I could find.
