Mailbox Monday Bonanza

I won!  I won!  Kevin from Canada held a contest for guessing the Pulitzer winner, and I was the only one to correctly guess Olive Kitteridge. My prize: $75 in the books of my choice!!  I read Olive last year, and it reminded me a bit of The Stone Diaries by Carol Shields.  I knew that it had been awhile that a book featuring a strong female character had won, and I thought Olive had a decent shot. Lucky for me I was right. Now to show off my winnings!

What fun reading I have ahead of me!!
