In My Mailbox - January 3

Welcome to the weekly In My Mailbox report.  This weekly meme is sponsored by The Story Siren and The Printed Page ("In My Mailbox"/"Mailbox Monday").  Thanks to any fellow participants who stop by The Calico Critic!  I'll do my best to get around to as many of your sites as I can this week. 

After last week's avalanche of goodies, I appreciated the books that did make it in this week!  Here are the books that have arrived since December 27th:



Wednesday the 30th -

• Give God a Year book and kit, ordered from Amazon.com as a New Year's gift to myself.  I've gotten really off track in my weight loss/maintenance efforts, and I hope this will help.  I want to get back to a more balanced life, as was seen in my now out-of-date blog, First Place Victory.  The kit comes with Carole Lewis' book Give God a Year, a motivational 365-day tear off calendar, fridge magnet, coffee mug, audio CD from Carole, journal & pen.  For more information on First Place 4 Health, the program associated with this kit, go to FirstPlace4Health.com.

• Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater, won in a Twitter giveaway. Thanks, @Scholastic!
  

Thursday the 31st - 

• Hook & Jill, sent over by Riane Herlihy at Publishing Works, Inc.  If you'd like to make yourself available to read & review books for her, she has a group set up on Book Blogs.  To see if her company has books in your interest area, take a look at the company catalog:

I hope everyone had a marvelous New Years' Eve and and I wish many blessings to you in this new year and decade. I don't know what you experienced, but the past year and decade has been rough. I feel hopeful that good times are ahead, not to mention lots of fun books to read and review!
