The Prince of Mist by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

The Death Catchers by Jennifer Anne Kogler

Big thanks to A Life Bound By Books for the above three books. I love winning surprise book packages!

One Is Fun by Leona Bodie

Shadow Cay by Leona Bodie

Skating For Two by Leona Bodie

(Box of goodies, minus the candy because they didn't last very long in this house lol)

-I want to say a HUGE, MASSIVE thank you to Leona Bodie for starting my week off in the most incredible way. I was fortunate enough to win the Shadow Cay Book Tour Giveaway. Leona sent me the most amazing package! It included her three books above, a beach towel, wine, tea, iced tea, two candles, a tote bag, candy, peanuts and a lovely little treasure chest filled with beach sand and sea shells. But as if that wasn't enough, she sent them in the most gorgeous keepsake box. Again, thank you so much Leona for this absolutely incredible gift! 

As you can see, I received an incredible amount of goodies this week. After having a few slow mail weeks, I was excited to receive all of these books. It will be quite some time before I make my way through them all, but that is the beauty of having books. They are always there for you whenever you need them, no matter how long you neglect them on the shelf.

I'd like to once again thank all the bloggers, authors and publishers who supplied me with all these goodies, along with my mom, who never does let me leave Target empty handed :)

What came for you this week? Leave me a link to your goodies pile and I'll come check it out!
