Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at A Girl and Her Books. It is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Savvy Verse & Wit is hosting for the month of October. You can view the touring blog list at Mailbox Monday blog for the upcoming months.

I did not receive any books in the mail last week BUT, guess what? I won a gift certificate for 25$ worth of See's Chocolates and the box arrived on Friday! It came gift wrapped with a note from author Joyce DiPastena who sent them to me shortly after I won in celebration of her new book to be released in January. I told her to surprise me with her chocolate selections, and my kids and I had fun plowing through the box of delectable chocolates. As I sit here writing this post, I decided to take the box out of my pantry for a quick treat only to discover they're almost all gone! My kids and hubby have been enjoying themselves...

So what did you get in your mailbox last week?
