You know that letdown feeling you get when you finish a really great book and realize it's over? I got that feeling about Repairing Rainbows. It was sent to me to review and I struggled with it for a bit but ended up loving it.
I've been entering my books into LibraryThing while boxing them up. I'm hoping to get stuff reorganized/cleared out of our "office/black hole". Daughter moved into her own apartment so there's a free bedroom that I have plans for (evil grin).
Hope everyone has plans for a great week.
Mailbox Monday is a place to share all the wonderful books that have come to live in your home– including paper books, e-books and audio books. Mailbox Monday was started by Marcia of The Printed Page. When Marcia was ready to move on from being the weekly host, she was kind enough to set up the Mailbox Monday Blog Tour. Check it out so you know where to go next month.
A big Thank You to Gwen for hosting in July, the August host is Staci at Life in the Thumb (blog link, not post link).

Looking forward to what you have to say about Chasing Rainbows. I enjoyed Benny and Shrimp, but can't say that I really loved either character.
Happy birthday to your daughter! Isn't it funny how books jump in your cart at Target? Enjoy!
That's a great reading week. Mine is at http://www.spiritblog.net
What a mailbox!! Happy Reading!
Here is my Monday: Mailbox/What Are You Reading?/Musings post!
It's hard to avoid the book aisles at Target, isn't it? Enjoy all your new books!
I usually have that same problem at Target! I did go today and did not come home with a book. Probably because I was school shopping with my daughter. Happy Birthday to your daughter.
Great mailbox this week! Yes, I know the dangers of Target. Once I went in to buy toothpaste and came home with 5 cozy mysteries instead. :)
Enjoy your books! I'm an new follower.
