In My Mailbox (#6)

Changing my IMM time to Sunday this year means today it’s time for “In My Mailbox"! This meme is brought to you by The Story Siren and the idea is to post about books you've bought, gotten from the library, received for review... books don't have to arrive via your mailbox.

As usual, I’ve been going crazy with Amazon’s free Kindle offers…

Still available for free – the titles lead you to the amazon.com pages:
