Mailbox Monday is meme created by Marcia from The Printed Page. Marcia says,"Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists." Mailbox Monday is on tour and this months hostess is the delightful Avis of She Reads and Reads. Thank you Avis for hosting this month!
I can't believe that October is almost over! Where did the month go? I didn't receive any review books this week but I am okay with that. I did get a couple books from Amazon, one book that jumped into my cart at Target, and I hit our library sale on Saturday and picked up a few goodies.
The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson (this was the book from Target)
The Girl With The Dragon tattoo by Stieg Larsson
(I felt like I was the only person not to have read these books so I decided to pick them up)
Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin (I bought this used on Amazon but it actually ended up being a brand new book)
My Name is Mary Sutter by Robin Oliveira (this has been on my wish list for quite some time)
These are my library sale finds. They were each a dollar so I only spent $5 and I got a few books that have been on my wish list. There weren't too many donated books this time. Most items were withdrawn from the library.
Home to Holly Springs by Jan Karon (audiobook)
Little Bee by Chris Cleave
A Matter of Class by Mary Balogh
Fatally Flaky by Diane Mott Davidson
The Girls from Ames by Jeffrey Zaslow
Now I am off to see what wonderful books made their way into your home!
I have the Larsson books on my TBR mountain. Don't know when I will get to them as I have alot of review books . I didn't go to our library book sale this past week either as I haven't read one book that I got at the last one. I donated alot of books though.
ReplyDeleteI love the variety in your mailbox. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThat book at Target was looking for a good home! You found some great buys at the book sale!
ReplyDeleteI love library sales!
ReplyDeleteI loved a Matter of Class, it's a short novella but wait for the ending... what a kicker :)

I have the same Larsson books and both are on Must read soon list.
Another smashing success for your mailbox :)
It's good to know I'm not the only one who finds that books jump into their cart! No idea how that happens. ;) Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteOh, I know all about those books that jump into the cart...LOL

I have seen the Larsson books all over bloggyland, thinking I am probably the only one who hasn't read them.

There's others there that look good to me as well, so I'll just wish you happy reading!

You're not the only person who hasn't read Girl With The Dragon Tattoo yet. I saw the movie, and now I want to read all the books.
ReplyDeleteI liked Home to Holly Springs and Mary Sutter
ReplyDeleteLots of good ones! I love sales. I think I'm the only person around who didn't like Mary Sutter.
ReplyDeleteSales are hard to resist! I enjoyed The Girls from Ames. Enjoy all your books!
