In My Mailbox #18-11



In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren weekly to give thanks for all the amazing books that come through my door. I love books they make everything better [ : D ]


For Review:
I had to show you the shiny beautiful parcel these books arrived in [ : D ] 

 
(big girl has already read this one - trying to prise the review out of her)
 
(I spent the morning with the Lei (thanks Keris and Google) around my neck - shiny lip gloss on and eating the flake that was also included, big girl bribed with the twirl)


SQUEEEE
Finished copy:


Soundtrack being added to ipod as we speak

For Review:


My middle girl has been asking and asking for these books - I have never seen her so excited to read a book before. She begged me to request these for review promising reviews - how could I not. Plus these sound so good I am going to read them too.


Following our little upset at Hay with the big girl not being able to get anywhere near Jacqueline Wilson [ : ( ] I took the girls to Waterstones in Abergavenny. The staff there by the way are awesome, follow them on Twitter here
Well fatal flaw in that plan is the 3 for 2 offer - big girl ended up having 2 Jacqueline Wilson books to add to her collection while I had:

(heard such good things about this one already)

(been looking out for this one since seeing a fab review by Jenny at Wondrous Reads)


Plus I had to include a pic of my beautiful girls enjoying an ice-cream at the Hay Festival [ : D ]

Have a great week everyone and wish me luck with the Year 9 PSE lessons.
