In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren. It gives book bloggers the chance to share what they’ve bought/borrowed/received!
I did some book buying last week. I know, I know. I'm not supposed to but I hit a couple of used books stores while visiting the fam and I can't resist a used book store. Thank goodness Netgalley was relatively quiet last week or I'd have an even bigger pile. On to the goodies!
Bought
Good Girls Don't, Start Me Up, and Talk Me Down by Victoria Dahl - As you can see, I went on a bit of a Victoria Dahl kick. Read a short by her recently that made me want to read more.
Trial by Fire by Jennifer Lynn Barnes - I have Barnes's first book, Raised by Wolves at home. I haven't read it yet but I am convinced that this series will be awesome so I snatched up book two when I saw it.
Sew U Home Stretch by Wendy Mullin - No, I don't sew. I don't even have a sewing machine. But I love Built by Wendy designs and hope to start sewing next year. Hopefully this book will be helpful in that endeavor.
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home by Jeni Britton Bauer - Yes, this was on my list for Borrowed last week. But I saw it on extreme sale over the weekend at Anthropologie. Now I have time to look through this gorgeous book at my leisure. Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld (audiobook) - Purchased on audible.com last week. I had a $10 credit and this was on sale for $12. I've been meaning to start this series and now I have the audio (read my Alan Cumming!).
Borrowed
The Demon In The Freezer by Richard Preston - I loved Preston's The Hot Zone, which was terrifying. I am hoping that I won't want to hide in a hole after reading his book about smallpox.
That's all I have this week. What's in your mailbox?

Haven't read any Dahl. I'll have to look out for. I loved Leviathan & heard the audio is amazing. Enjoy.

What a cute IMM button! Leviathan looks like a good audiobook. I love Alan Cumming.
ReplyDeleteI made a lot of ice cream over the summer. Non-dairy for me since I'm allergic so an ice cream maker is a must.
Tiger's Curse sounds good too.
Enjoy your new reads!
Victoria Dahl is a brilliant writer. I hope you enjoy all your new books! :)
ReplyDeleteLeviathan!! So good. I've heard awesome things about the audiobooks, as well... I want to listen to them just to hear Alan Cumming's narration. I listened to a preview and it sounded awesome.
