Happy New Year and here is my mailbox from TWO weeks.
I won a Virtual Poetry Package from Savvy Verse and Wit and I have been having little packages arrive for the past few weeks. Talk about a huge treat. Thank you Serena.
The books I received are:
Poet Lore, a magazine of The Writer's Center in Bethesda, Md.
Carta Marina by Ann Fisher Wirth
Green Bodies by Rosemary Winslow
The Complete Poems of John Keats - Nice hard cover addition
Fair Creatures of an Hour by Lynn Levin
John Amen's More of Me Disappears
I am so pleased to add these books to my poetry collection. I left a few comments on Serena's Virtual Poetry Circle. I was tickled as can be to have won. You should check it out. Sometimes I feel a bit inferior to comment on a poem, but it really is fun and no pressure at all.
From Algonquin Books - A Reliable Wife, by Robert Goolrick. (I started it this weekend... so check back for a review. Don't forget to check out my ARC giveaway)
From Amy at Passages to the Past - Her Mother's Daughter by Julianne Lee. Thank you Amy!!
I got my vogue knitting magazine in the mail also. I do read it and it is a delicious treat.
Have a great week everyone.

It looks like you've gotten some good reading to look forward to. Enjoy!
Great assortment of poetry books! I'll be watching for your Reliable Wife review. I can't decide if it's a book for me. Happy reading!
Everyone is reading Reliable Wife right now...except me! I always seem to miss the boat when it comes to trends.
Ooo! Such bookish delights! Enjoy your new books, Toni!
I haven't read Reliable Wife yet either! I love seeing the prizes Serena gives out - she is so wonderful at that! Lucky you to have won one of them!
I bought A Reliable Wife months ago and still haven't read it. I need to this year. Enjoy your nice wins!
Wow, looks like you got a lot of really nice stuff!
I need some of your good luck Toni - I never win giveaways!
Happy Reading!
What a Merry Christmas!
You'll be enjoying these for awhile...

What a nice and eclectic selection! Hope you enjoy reading all of them.
Congratulation on the poetry pack - it looks awesome! Enjoy all your great reads!
The poetry package looks wonderful. It's always fun to receive packages in the mail and getting them seperately must have been fun! I haven't read The Reliable Wife and it's been on my wishlist.
I hope you enjoy the poetry! I think there is one more book coming your way!
Congrats on the nice prize win!
Also, will look forward to your review of A Reliable Wife!
What a full mailbox! Lots to enjoy in that bunch.

Wow! Lucky you! Some great books in there Toni. I absolutely love Algonquin! Some of the best books I've read have been from them. Hope you're loving a Reliable Wife!
Lots of good stuff! I really enjoyed A Reliable Wife (but like the Canadian cover better,
I just received my last poetry package. I liked receiving them here and there. Happy reading!
