I might have a meeting that I am absolutely dreading first thing this morning, but my box showed up and I got to unpack it before that, so I‘m actually starting the day off with something that‘s happy and excites me!!

“The buying of more books than one can read is nothing less than the soul reaching toward infinity...”
~ Edward Newton~
The good news? My BOTM box showed up right on time today and SIX new books this month!!
The box looked opened/damaged when I retrieved it.
First time in 5 years of being a BOTM member that that has happened.
One more silver lining is that none of the books inside the box were actually damaged.
Ready to dive in!
Went a little nuts with BOTM picks for March. The Storm We Made is getting lots of Women Prize buzz and The Great Divide also got a couple of mentions. Murder Road is for July #SundayBuddyRead. The Fox Wife is #blameitonLitsy and Yours Truly was the only free finalist book I haven‘t read or don‘t already own. Looking forward to seeing everyone‘s choices.
Did I lose my health insurance this month?
Yes. Yes I did.
Did I console myself with a brand new box of books?
Also yes.
Don‘t judge me!

Making a dent in my TBR list on the BOTM app!! With a blanket as blue as their boxes to boot!! We‘ve had a pretty tame winter season so far, but I‘m not writing off time to get cozy and snuggle up with these and others that I‘ve now made part of my collection!!
Oh @JamieArc - thank you for this incredibly thoughtful and lovely gift!! I wish the picture did it more justice (stuck in my gift-wrapping cave, which explains both the lighting and the lateness!), but the paper and card were so special and the book is just perfection. And local mint chocolates 😍, and I gasped when I saw the caramels, which appear to be from a shop in the small-town WI area where I grew up! 😮🥰 Merry Christmas!! ❤️
Wasn‘t crazy about the picks this month, but wanted to keep working my way through my BOTM TBR list, so now there‘s quite the TBR stack going on my night stand!!
🤣📚😅📚😂
These blue book boxes might be expensive right now, but when most of your books are boxed boxed up in a storage unit in another state, what‘s a woman to do?
