In My Mailbox (23)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.

I honestly didn't expect to get any books this week but several of my requests at the libary came in so I actually have something to share!  I have instated a book buying ban until after Christmas so from here on out you will probably see a lot of library books in my mailbox.

From the Library:

Lover Revealed by J.R. Ward
Lover Enshrined by J.R. Ward
(These are my new brain candy!)
The Favored Queen by Carolly Erickson
(This is the final book I plan to read as part of the Henry VIII challenge.  It's taken me forever to find a 5th book!)

Free Download from Project Gutenberg:

Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad

(I am reading this book as part of the November Group read hosted by A Literary Odyssey)

Have a great week!

    I read the first book in the JR Ward series a few months ago and it was a really fun read.

Mailbox Monday (49)

It's time for another Mailbox Monday post!  Once again I could not resist the cheap ebooks that Amazon and Barnes and Noble were promoting this week.  I really need to stop!  I already have more than I can read.  I also was able to spend a little time browsing at the library and I came home with a nice stack of books.  These days, I hardly ever get to spend time at the library by myself for more than a minute or two so it was wonderful to have time to just wander and see what I could find. Purchased (for kindle): The Color of Secrets by Lindsay Ashford The One I Was by Eliza Graham House of Bathory by Linda Lafferty   Purchased (for nook): One Night in Winter by Simon Sebag Montefiore  Becoming Queen Victoria by Kate Williams From the Library: The Messenger by Daniel Silva   The Ripper's Wife by Brandy Purdy Hotel Moscow by Talia Carner Brazen by Katherine Longshore What books did you get...
