In My Mailbox (28)


In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren. It is designed to put new books on people's radars, and encourage blogger interaction.

Here's what I received during the past week:

Library:

Birthday Gift:



I've been coveting those Harry Potter books since they came out. I already own the whole series, but I kept talking about how much I loved those covers. Well my Mom got an amazing deal on them (basically half of the usual retail price) so she got them for me for my birthday. I just love the whole box set! I'd love to collect different covers for the series (e.g. the American ones, the adult covers) in the future.

  2. I have Bloomsbury's Signature HP collection and they look a lot like the books you posted but the covers are different for most of the book. Maybe I must collect the Canadian versions too!

  3. Oooh Ashley! That Harry Potter set is gorgeous! :D And I agree, it would be so neat to have a complete collection with different covers. I have all the books myself, but they're an eclectic mix, the first four are from the Scholastic Book Order, and the last three are all hardcover...I'd love for them to all match! One day I'll get a full set that's all matching. ;)

    Oh, and the swag you sent me came this week! I didn't get it until Fridaya because that's when I came home to my parents house, but I think it came a couple days before that. And your note totally made me smile, thanks! :D

    I haven't started my IMM post...I should get on that. haha I'll get it done eventually. :P lol

    I hope you enjoy your awesome new HP books, Ashley! :D And the other ones you've gotten this week. :D
    Happy reading!

  5. Wow, those are really cool. Don't hit me, but I haven't read the HP series. I don't know why.

  9. Ahh, the complete Harry Potter collection! -so pretty-

    Love the cover for The Emerald Talisman, it's simple yet eye catching!

  10. I think the covers are cool, but I am just not for changing the covers to get more money. :( Now if they are just because you live in a different country thats cool, but I have seen to many books do a redo of the cover just to reprint them and to me it is just a ploy to make more money off of people who already have the books. They do look cool though!

    Curious to see what you think of As I wake!
