In My Mailbox (1)

In My Mailbox is where I post the books I bought, borrow, won, or received this week. IMMB was started by Kristi of The Story Siren and inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie.

This week I bought 4 books at Goodwill for 47 cents. Goodwill is a good place to get used books for a very cheap price!
