MM - October 3rd

I didn't do a Mailbox Monday last week as I didn't receive any new books (for shame!) I need to slow down on the acquiring of new books because of budget and because the TBR pile keeps growing, growing, and growing. I still have 2 new credits at the Paperbackswap though, so this is never written in sand of course. (evil grin)

I did receive a book this week for free from my pastor. Been a Christian since childhood but only recently baptised. Was baptised and accepted into membership at my local Methodist church the same day, fun times it was. The whole family got together and attended. :) This last week my pastor gave me a book as a gift.
