Saturday -
Sunday - wait, it's Monday? Yikes, four days chained to my laptop planning an upcoming vacation, working on my schedule and reading an ongoing serial (I did purchase the
first book in the series so I know that the first chapters (1-14) are
310 pages in print. I'm currently on chapter 299. I think I started this week on
chapter 145. So, yeah. I've spent way too much time on this!)
Hope everyone has a great week planned!
Mailbox Monday is a place to share all the wonderful books that have come to live in your home; print, electronic and audio.
Started by Marcia of
The Printed Page, the mailbox is currently on
tour. Check it out so you know where to go next month.
