Mailbox Monday 4/12

Mailbox Monday, hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page is a meme where folks share the yummy books that showed up at our doors! WARNING: Mailbox Mondays can lead to extreme envy and GINORMOUS wishlists!!
I am very excited to begin Rebecca Wells' latest, The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder: A Novel, which arrived from Hachette for a TLC Book Tour celebrating its paperback release this Tuesday, 4/13. I've read all her previous novels and enjoy the southern humor along with the complexity of her characters. I love the bright green of the cover; it would really catch my eye in a book store!
I also received a much lighter book through the goodreads swap, See Jane Date,by Melissa Senate. I am saving it for summer beach reading because it's a good size paperback and won't have an intricate plot to remember when I get interrupted over and over.
That's it for the mailbox this week. Got a huge pile from my library and have 2 left.
Did you get anything you've really been anticipating this week?

    I want to read Senate's The Secret of Joy. See Jane Date sounds cute!

    I've enjoyed Rebecca Wells' books so much. I haven't read her newest, though. (I'm a teacher, too, I hope you have a great rest of the year; summer's coming soon! More time to read. :)

    Both books look like books I would enjoy! I should really look into the Goodreads Swap. It seems like it is working pretty well for those that have used it. Have a great week!

i have shut off the CAPCHA, so if you are asked to type a word or number, please let me know. It is very annoying and slows down comments.
