Mailbox Monday & Life This Week - April 12th

 


Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. It now has a permanent home at the Mailbox Monday blog.

Life This Week is a meme created by Denyse Whelan Blogs where bloggers share snaps of what is currently happening in their lives.

Happy Monday!
It's been a while since I've posted a book haul update and a little of what I've been doing. Well over a month! 

Since my last post we have had a deluge of rain causing floods state wide,  celebrated Dot's birthday, my birthday, my sister visited from Queensland, celebrated Easter, visited the Royal Easter Show and we are currently in the second week of the school holidays.

Dot's birthday

My birthday
 

Our local creek usually only has a dribble of water
 
Dot's favourite part of the Easter show
 

You can't get more Australian than Kookaburra's on a Hills Hoist!
 
Books I've received and purchased over the last 6 weeks. 
 

  I would love to hear what books you've received in the mail recently!

    Wow, some great books there. And I love your birthday flowers... though that birthday cake looks pretty amazing too. I'm not sure which I'd prefer if I had to make the choice!

      The cake was delicious and my house smelt like a florist for a week.

    I love reading and there are a few in your pile of books that I haven't read but will investigate. I do like Nora Roberts. Have a great week! #lifethisweek

      Thanks Mary. We don’t usually have much rain so we felt like it would never end. It eventually cleared up and we are back to sunny Autumn days. Both our water tanks are full now.

    Lots of great looking books there; I usually love Nora Roberts novels. That is a lot of rain!

      I’m looking forward to the Nora Roberts book. I haven’t read any of her fantasy.

    Happy Birthday! Yes those flood waters and heavy rains were not fun. So glad you got to the Easter Show. It was a tradition for me for many years. Thank you for linking up for Life This Week. Next week, the optional prompt is Interesting. My post will be a continuation of Telling My Story as I am wanting to wrap the series up. It's great to have your blogging support on my link up. Thank you. Denyse

    I hope everyone in your circle had Happy Birthdays. I like the pictures of the goats and birds.
    So many good books. I think I would like to try Fiona McCallum.
    Enjoy all of your reading!

    That's such a great book stack! I just finished Love Objects, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Plus it's so BEAUTIFULLY designed! Looking forward to hearing what you think ;)

    WE've had over a foot of rain this week--I'm really ready for it to STOP. April showers is one thing, but this is getting ridiculous! Enjoy your books!
