Monthly Wrap-Up: November

Hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving (I know I'm a little late on this post but this months-December-wrap up will be on time) filled with yummy food, scream and throw stuff at the screen worthy football games, loud and raucous family fun and a joyous start to your holiday festivities. November was a fun, slightly nerve wracking month due to the current Joyathon. Organizing an event is an adrenaline rush and I like it! So be on the lookout for fun future events involving some of your favorite authors. (Although I can't top Ashley March's Annual March Madness Party. She truly is the woman of EPIC blog events.)

Anywho, here's what went down in NOVEMBER:

Monthly Mailbox: September Edition

Another month and my bookshelves are sagging, my wallet is hiding and my Kindle is plotting against me. But, I've got more books than I know what to do with, high anxiety as to what to read next and the need to buy Toll House cookies to eat while reading. 

So here's what I got this month:

Random Acts of Kindness: August Edition

Another month of awesome books that have just piled up. The awesome ladies at Book Soulmates host this monthly meme. You sign up, you make a wish list and send others who have signed up, books on their lists. It's such a great program. You never know what you'll get. I didn't send out that much this month since I spent all my money on RomCon in Denver. Hopefully September will be a better one.
