In My Mailbox -55- I'm back!

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren every Sunday. In My Mailbox is a weekly meme that lets everyone see what books you have received or bought that week.

This edition of In My Mailbox finds me back from vacation. We had an excellent time, though our train may not have fared as well as we did. The train hit a truck in Saskatchewan, just over the Saskatchewan/Manitoba border. That was crazy, but thankfully the 3 occupants of the vehicle were not seriously injured (if at all). (What a blessing!) 

Coming home our train had electrical trouble on the Alberta/Saskatchewan border in -35 degree weather. Later that day we had to stop and wait a few hours as a CN train had broken down on the rails. (Honestly... I think Saskatchewan doesn't like trains...) We finally crossed back over into Manitoba, and didn't have any train issues until Northern Ontario, but that was caused by a different train that had broken down (again). We ended up arriving well over 8 hours late back in Toronto, just in time to see the sun set behind the CN Tower. (That was beautiful!) From Toronto, we had to catch another train to take us the rest of the way home. Though the vacation was nice (and relaxing!) it was good to be home. Now I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things around here. I've got something like 5 books to review, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to get back into posting every day rather than the sporadic posting of the last two months. Thank you for your patience with that!

On with the books! The books pictured below were received or bought over the last two weeks.
