Letterbox Love (27)

Britain at it's best, bringing you it's own version of IMM! All the books that came through my letterbox thanks to publishers and Royal Mail! This meme is hosted by the amazing Lynsey from Narratively Speaking.
On Friday, I reached a moment of panic and I asked what your views were on Letterbox Love. The response was amazing! Thank you everyone who replied and commented. I really appreciated it. From the views left, it really came across that this was more of a positive meme and for the time being I will continue to join in with it.  So thank you for helping me make my decision.
