My Mailbox is overflowing!

I have had a book buying binge week!  I won some books on blogs, my friend Kathy gave me a book, I ordered books from the Scholastic book orders, amazon, and I shopped the book fair at the school!  Wow - toooooooo many books - my TBR just exploded!  My son just started reading the Cirque du Freak series by Darren Shan and we only had the first two books - so....off to Amazon.com and get the last 10 in that series.  They arrived yesterday!  I will list the books and where they came from - I am skipping the pics this week.  My boyfriend sometimes reads my blog and there is no sense in adding fuel to the fire by adding a visual!!!

Won on blogs:  Thanks so much to the bloggers who have hosted the contests/giveaways and for the great books that I have received!!!
