Mailbox Monday for June 10th

Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week(s) and explore great book blogs. Mailbox Monday  is on tour for the month of June  and hosted by Dolce Bellezza

 Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous 

No arrivals in my "real" mailbox or my "email" box. But I did checkout one from our library. I went to get a copy of The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. It's the Classic Selection for the 3 months of June-August on Ladies & Literature on Goodreads. The card catalog said they had 1 copy  of the print book. They also said they had several audio books, an ebook, and  more that one reading guide. But I could not find the shelf copy, nor could the librarian. Long story, but they will look for it and if they find it, they will email me. In the meantime, I looked for Where'd You Go, Bernadette? by Maria Semple. No luck there either. Maybe someone in my hometown is also a Goodreads member and in the same groups. So I found a copy of:

I have been wanting to read this one for awhile. It is a title I had heard of before and it was published the year I was born. (1946)  That for a couple of challenges that I am involved in. I had not really done any research and just assumed that Carson McCullers was a man. So I was really surprised when I read the bio of Carson McCullers and discovered she was a woman, who lived during my lifetime and died at the early age of 50, in 1967. This is a small book only 162 pages, so I should finish it pretty quickly.  I want to read  The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter too.

I am currently still reading

but will finish soon. I'll review it this week I hope. 

Until next time,

Stay Busy and Stay Happy

Just a PS !!!!
