SO that is what came in. Yes, yes, the Book Expo books arrived and I will highlight that in future posts. 😀 Tomorrow I leave for Camp and on Tuesday I will kick off AudioBook Month so please pop in for those posts – they are going to be fun, informative, and there will be giveaways 😀

Book Journey 
Congratulations to the winners! Enjoy your books! What a wonderful celebration!
Have a great and busy Sunday, Sheila. My plans are to catch up around the house and read. I am reading The Hidden Child by Camila Lackberg and it is a super mystery!
Sounds wonderful – I am hoping if I work hard I will be able to enjoy some of this sunshiny day later today with a book 🙂
Congrats to the winners!
Thanks Ryan 😀
It’s a good thing you have a library for all those books! Congratulations everyone!
It does help Kathy however my review section is currently quite full so I have to do some maneuvering 🙂
OMG! I’m very excited! I knew all that cookie dough would pay off after all these years! :–)
Just keep bringing it Jill 😛
Congrats to the winners! Good thing you had the giveaway with all the new stuff coming in. Btw, my elephant is always here to brighten your day. Now you got me thinking that I need to name him/her. 🙂
You do need to name him/her! LOL And bring him/her around next year too 😀
Congrats to the winners…and wow! Me, too! Thanks!!
Enjoy your new books…I want to read The Hurricane Sisters.
I am excited about that one – LOVE Dorothy!
Congrats to all the winners 🙂 Yay! And in that pile of books, the two that caught my immediate attention were seeing Neil Gaiman’s name and then the title Dreamwood. OOooooo 🙂 And, of course, picture books ALways attract me 🙂
Oh… ha! I seen you typed Dreamwood and thought you typo’ed… this morning I was trying to find a link for the book but could not find it on line… I was typing in “Dreamworld” I read it wrong? 😛 You had it right. 😀
LOL, Sheila! But isn’t this book IN your possession?! lol I REALLY am in love with the title ’cause I love the word and the concept. It’s right up my alley 🙂
What FuN! enjoy, winners !
and you too, Sheila, on your week away.. looking forward to tuesday’s audiobooks!
Thanks – I have a lot of prep work to do but I have all my narrators responses so I should be good to go 😀
Congrats to the winners!
CONGRATS to the winners!!
Nice books in your mailbox too. I received The Hurricane Sisters also. Looking forward to reading it.
Have a great week away.

I will be interested to see what you think of THE OTHER STORY. I wasn’t excited about it. I was expecting another Sarah’s Key. Maybe I just didn’t give it enough time.
Happy Reading.
Congrats to all the winners! Camp…wow, have fun!! Our Sunday was quiet, and while I’m watching the Tony’s now, I really hope to finish reading a book tonight!! Have a great week
Congrats to the winners!
