Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page. We share what books that we found in our mailboxes last week. I haven't had a Mailbox post for a few weeks as I haven't had any new books arrive. This has given me a much needed break and time to reorganize my reading schedule and books in my TBR piles.
I was one of the lucky winners from Lynne's 1,000th post celebration and giveaway last month at Lynne's Little Corner of the World and I won a $25 gift card to Amazon. I was SO excited and had fun shopping for books. I bought the following books:
- Nothing but Ghosts by Beth Kephart (In support of My Friend Amy's Book Drive)
- Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris (Sookie Stackhouse Challenge)
- Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laura Viera Rigler (Everything Austen Challenge)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I also received these two books:
- Baggage Claim by Tanya Michna (From Paperbackswap)
- Me and Mr. Darcy by Alexandra Potter (This was a lucky find at the library book sale that I peeked into on Saturday and bought for a quarter. I didn't buy any other books!)
You did well with that money. Baggage claim sounds interesting. No Mailbox Monday for me this week, nothing arrived but I'm glad really. Plenty of library books to catch up on. Enjoy your books.
ReplyDeleteYou got interesiting books. Happy reading!

It looks like you use your gift card very wisely! I bought Nothing But Ghosts, too. I'm doing the Sookie challenge, but don't have any of the books for it yet.
ReplyDeleteGreat reads - I would be interested to hear more about the Darcy book. I just dont know which way to go with all of these newer release "Austenistic" reads. :)
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Nothing But Ghosts!
ReplyDeleteI saw Nothing but Ghosts at Scrap Girl's blog and it looked great. Now I really should just put it on the wish list. Congrats on winning a gift card! That's great.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and happy reading. My MM is here
Oh yay! Glad you got Nothing But Ghosts. Hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI also won a gift card from Lynne...and like you I spent it already! Enjoy your new books.
ReplyDeleteBaggage Claim sounds interesting and I definitely want to read Nothing But Ghosts!
ReplyDeleteExcellent choices! I look forward to hearing what you think of DEAD UNTIL DARK. I love this series.
ReplyDeleteGift cards are just the best! Congrats on your win and you new books!
ReplyDeleteNice Mailbox week! I have several of these on my TBR list. I'm looking forward to your reviews.
ReplyDeleteThey all look so good Bonnie. I hope you'll like Confessions. As you know I loved it. I'm curious what your thoughts on it will be.
ReplyDeletewow... you so deserve the shopping... I wish I could have two weeks to read all that I want... that would of course entail NOT knitting..... I am cursed with my battle of my two hobbies. :) Love your books!!
ReplyDeleteThey all look great, Bonnie. I really enjoyed Confessions. I hope you review all of these!
ReplyDeleteI read Me & Mr. Darcy last year and thought it was a riot. I can't wait to hear what you think. Enjoy your new books!
