Just finished The Mystery Box by Eva Pohler. It was a freebie from Amazon, but ended up being one I simply could not put down until I finished it.
Soccer mom Yvette Palmer lives an ordinary life in San Antonio, Texas when a box is delivered to her by mistake, and in taking it to its rightful owner—a crotchety neighbor named Mona who shares her back fence—is drawn into a strange and haunting tale.
Mona’s ratty robe, mood swings, and secretive behavior all raise red flags, and Yvette is sure someone else is living there despite Mona’s claim to live alone, but Yvette is unable to break away as she listens to how Mona transformed from a young college woman about to be married to the odd, reclusive, ghost of a woman she is now.
As Yvette listens to her neighbor's tale, she discovers a shocking connection, but doesn't know whether Mona's come to help or to harm her and her family.

Just an odd assortment of baby items! The plot thickens!

Should have said that it's a Kindle download freebie.

Second post deleted! You can go for that drink now, RB! 
Not only did I fall off the diet wagon, I dragged it into the woods, set it on fire, and used the insurance money to buy cupcakes.

I didn't get to see the first one!

Your last post was doubled, Drac.

Re: The Mystery Box
Ah... mystery solved! I've been getting a lot of errors when trying to post lately and it happened when I tried to post that time too. Thank you!

Re: The Mystery Box
Sounds intriguing, but I don't think I'll be able to read it. It's only on Kindle, not on my Kobo, and I don't know if my Calibre program will convert it. It won't if it's DRM protected.
On a separate note, do you all know of Book Bub, a site that sends out daily emails to let you know bargains and free ebooks of the day? I just joined and have been very surprised at some of the books available. You can choose your own categories and formats to save time.
