In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren, where we all share what we got during the week!So I had a super, fantastic book week!!
~I did buy two books this week, but they were both paperbacks so just 8.99 each, not too bad. Plus, I have to give a shout out to Barnes and Noble. I am SOOO impressed with their online service. Members get free express shipping,..I put in an order on Thursday and got them on Friday morning. WOW. I've been a member for years, I highly recommend it if you buy alot of books. You get your discount all the time and not just collecting points that can only be used one time of year like some bookstores..cough, Borders, cough, cough. Plus if you are like me and a bonafide Starbucks addict, you can even use your member discount at their in-store cafe. (Note: I'm not an employee or an affiliate of Barnes..just love the store!)
~Oh and...Hello, my name is Becky, and I am officially addicted to library book sales. Or maybe I've just gotten lucky at the two that I've been to in the last few weeks, but I am smitten. The books I got this week at the Sacramento FoL book sale were in excellent condition and once I took the plastic and barcodes off, the covers were like new. Yay!

ReplyDeleteI love library sales, they are the best, although I never know when they are going to happen. Great Haul, Enjoy =)
ReplyDeleteGreat loot! I occasionally shop at B&N when I visit my sister (it is where she gets all her books since she refuses to set foot in a library-shameful as the sister of a librarian!) but I usually buy books from Amazon.com
ReplyDeleteI am glad you were able to get some great books at the library book sale. The libraries in my area have their book sales in late May/early June.
Prophecy of Days is on my TBR list. I've heard really good things about Garden Spells too. I hope you enjoy your many interesting books!
Oh WOW you got so many great books this week! I see a few of my faves in those pics. :) I'm looking forward to reading A Blue So Dark and Stork. Can't wait for your review of the latter. Enjoy all your books Becki!!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that is a massive amount of books! I wish my local libraries had book sales, or sold books as awesome as those. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one yet to read The Forest of Hands and Teeth too!

ReplyDeleteWow! You have so many incredible books! I saw you have We Hear the Dead. I've had my eye on that one- esp. b/c the writer is an author that lives near me and is a teacher in the district over! Enjoy all your books! I am jealous!
