My Collection of Mary Engelbreit Books


* IN MY HOME LIBRARY *



My girlfriends and husband often ask me if I have this or that Mary Engelbreit book when out thrift shopping and since I can't remember everything I have in my ME collection, I've decided to compile a list of books I do have (I have a few other ME items), so they can reference it from their phones.
