In My Mailbox (21)

Hello everyone! It’s almost Christmas – which is why I’m back on the blogosphere. I’m on Christmas vacation and I’ll be posting enthusiastically at this time of the year. The last time I posted an IMM was in October. After busy months at the university, I’m back with more reads.

In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by Kristi from The Story Siren. It aims to encourage blogger interaction and to explore the newly acquired books of several bloggers.
