In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren, where we all share what we got during the week!So,...major haul this week. Why? Because the Sacramento Friends of the Library has the BEST warehouse sales. Because I happened to be in Concord so I had to stop by Half-Price Books. Because Random House, Simon & Schuster, and Hyperion are made of awesome. That's why.
You know, the coolest part about buying all these $1 books at the sale is, I get them home, remove the library plastic covers and see that they are almost always in near-perfect condition. I don't know how, but they are. If not for the small library stamp inside, I'd think they were brand spankin' new books!
Ok, on with the show...

Oooh, anything set in the 20's has my interest. :)

Been curious about this one for awhile now. Those eyes looking through the mask creep my out, though!

I must be drawn to this author's books,...when I bought them I didn't even realize they were by the same author!

The cover got me on this one...the look on the girl's face is so determined and set. I love it.

You've had an awesome haul this week! I wont buy Jumbee for that exact reason, the cover totally freaks me out. After the first time I saw it I had a nightmare. Seriously. *shivers*

ReplyDeleteI got Lost Voices from Net Galley too. It look so good!! enjoy your books, they all look amazing. And how great that you got a lot of them so cheaply.
ReplyDeleteWow, you got a whole lot of novels this week. I hope you have time to finish them all! I was lucky enough to get a hard copy of Lost voices and I can't wait to read it. Happy reading!

Oooh, I'm jealous you got Vixen! That one's at the top of my Christmas list. :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh, great haul this week! Hope you enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteHere's what's in my mailbox this week!
Wow you did get the mother of all mailbox hauls for the week. The three books you received for review are all to die for. Will look very forward to your reviews.
ReplyDeleteNice haul!
ReplyDeleteI really liked Princess of the Midnight Ball.
Oh I totally hope you'll hold a contest for Wither, I'd love to read it :)
ReplyDeleteI started Dreamhunter on audiobook once and it was pretty awesome but too hard to follow for me. I'm going to give this another try in real book format though. And good choice on the Kai Meyer book, I read the whole series, it was pretty cool but the first book was the best, so I hope you'll enjoy it :)
I really enjoyed The Jumbee! It was an interesting take on Phantom of the Opera. Looks like you have some great reads this week.
ReplyDeletewhy that was ALOT of books :) I wish that I got that many books aswell
