My Mailbox (54)

Format: select

My Mailbox is where I show all the books I’ve gotten by various means throughout the month.

I will be linking up with Mailbox Monday and 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.

This post contains affiliate links and I receive a small percentage of sales made through these links.

    I’ve been wanting to read the Ascendance Trilogy for awhile now. I really need to make time to do so, because I’ve heard great things. I’m actually thinking I might go the audiobook route for that, though.

    Happy reading :)

      I’ve heard the audiobooks for the Ascendance Trilogy are really good. I finished the last one a few days ago and I loved it!

    I really want to start reading the Infinity Ring series. :) And Jim Gaffigan is hilarious; I didn’t know he had a book but I’ll have to check it out! Enjoy!

    I tried reading Infinity Ring and didn’t go further then the first book. I love the 39 clues series but just couldn’t get into that one. Maybe I should go ahead and try book 2.

      I thought the second one was better. It had much more history in it (that actually happened unlike the first book) and I even learned a few things about Vikings.

    I just bough Quiet myself few weeks back. I have only read the first few chapters, but it seems okay so far. I’m an introvert myself so I was really curious what the author had to say about this personality type. :) Happy reading and have a great weekend!

    How fun! I can’t wait to see what you think of Quiet. I’ve seen that one pop up all over the place and am wondering if I should try and snag it.

    I have a list of my current to-read pile here: http://www.samanthafabris.com/many-books-little-time/ most are purchased and then a few are free books for review. I need to start reading more non-fiction.

    I really liked Coraline! It was the most fantastic mix of mystery and creepy. I want to see the movie now…. XD My StS!

    Nice haul. I haven’t started The Infinity Ring series but have it in my media center where the kids are really enjoying it. I read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn when I was a teenager and still think about it. All my pictures come from LibraryThing since that’s how I keep track of all the books I add. Come see what I added this week at Inside of a Dog and Ms. Martin Teaches Media. Happy reading!

    i immediately went and bought The Shadow Throne when it came out…but it’s still sitting on my shelves. I’m a bit hesitant to read it – not just because it’s the final book in a series I LOVE, but also because a blogger I trust (as well as having very similar tastes in books as I do) wound up DNF-ing it!

    Fingers-crossed that it’s a good one!

      Oh no! I loved it. I thought the ending was so cool – tons of action and impossible situations like the first two books. Though Jaron isn’t quite as snarky in this one. If you liked the first two I bet you’d like the last one! It does get slow in the middle but it has a great ending.

    I read a Tree Grows in Brooklyn last year and it was a nice read. A bit slow but still good!
