Mailbox Monday ~36~

August 31, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: In My Mailbox 10 Comments

Format: select

Mailbox Monday is where I show all the books I’ve gotten by various means throughout the week. Mailbox Monday was originally hosted by Marcia from A girl and her books and The Printed Page. This is a touring meme.  You can check out the main site for the full schedule.   August’s host is 5 Minutes for Books.

I’m also going to link up with a similar meme called Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews :)

Since I LOVE book cover art on my kindle, I took my own pictures of the covers of my ebooks.

Bought

EXILED by Rashelle Workman for FREE from Amazon

 

Watched by Cindy M. Hogan for FREE from Amazon

Owl Tote Bag Barnes and Noble

Owl Tote Bag from my local Barnes and Noble. My purse wasn’t big enough for my kindle and my books.  It so stinkin adorable and I loves it.

And I was doing pretty good with my Book Buying Ban this month until….

Infinity Ring Book 1: A Mutiny in Time by James Dashner from the Launch Party Signing at the SLC library.

And I won this incredible ARC that I’m really excited to read

Pivot Point by Kasie West

Gift

Spousonomics: Using Economics to Master Love, Marriage, and Dirty Dishes by Paula Szuchman and Jenny Anderson from my husband for our anniversary.  He got it for our kindle so we could read it together. D’aaaww.

Won

Princess Academy by Shannon Hale from Jessica at The Bluestocking Society.  Thank you so much Jessica!

How cool that I got both of the Princess Academy books in 1 week? Can’t wait to read them.
