Love that Courier Guy

 It's always exciting when one of those courier trucks pulls into my driveway.  What is he going to bring to my door this time.  Fortunate for me and my reading habit, he brought me books twice this week, and it's only Tuesday.

First was a prize package from Rachelle at Bibliobabe.com.  She had hosted a year long reading challenge and recently drew names for the prize winners.  As she remarked, all the participants were winners as they all read some pretty amazing, quality books.  Now I have more books to read.  I also won the coolest of book bags.  I really must get out and about so I can carry it with me.  That's my daughter modelling it.

How wonderful, such an amazing selection and what a great bag. I read the Kingmaking a while ago (before I started blogging) and really enjoyed it so look forward to your review.
