In My Mailbox - July 31, 2011

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren. It is an opportunity to share any books I have received this week in my mailbox, on my nook or in my hands.

This was an epic week for books in our home - actually all of these came into our possession on one day, Friday!  The Target dollar spot was full of great kid books - most of them too advanced for Sammie now, but we have a Rubbermaid tote in our basement we stock pile tons of books for her future library.

Then we drove into Kansas to hit the closest Border's store to see what goodies we might find there. I hated to see the store in such a sad state. We got all of these books (some for Hubs, me and Sammie) for $88. Not too bad. I have read a few of these already but I have a them in e-book and wanted them on my actual bookshelves.

Beauty Queens by Libba Bray
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
Just After Sunset by Stephen King
Diners, Drive-ins and Dives: An All-American Road Trip . . . with Recipes! by Guy Fieri, Ann Volkwein
The Road to the Dark Tower: Exploring Stephen King's Magnum Opus by Bev Vincent


Last but not least - these two books actually came in the mail on Friday. The first is my last online book order with Borders and the second is a review book as part of a tour towards the end of August.

Supernaturally (Paranormalcy #2) by Kiersten White
Wherever You Go: A Novel by Joan Leegant

  1. Who is Neil Gaiman? I hear his name all the time and I haven't a clue as to who he is.

    Nice loot!
