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.
You may have noticed I've been a *bit* slack on the blog. Since I've been working it's been a lot more difficult to maintain posts regularly. Major props to those of you who have always been doing it! For some reason when I was in school I had no issues, but after working all day? Totally hard to find the time/energy. But I want to try and change that a bit because I love this blog and it's definitely worth the effort.
With that being said, here are some books from the past month or so:
Bought:
- The World of Downton Abbey by Jessica Fellowes
- The Calling (Darkness Rising #2) by Kelley Armstrong
- The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
- The List by Siobhan Vivian
- A Breath of Eyre by Eva Marie Mont
- Starcrossed (Thief Errant #1) by Elizabeth C. Bunce
- Liar's Moon (Thief Errant #2) by Elizabeth C. Bunce
(Note to Kobo owners: there are coupon codes out right now for 90% off -- welcome90ca & welcome90us. I used them both and they both worked for me, but they have to be on non-agency books (usually smaller publishers). I was also able to use welcome75ca & welcome75us (both for 75% off). One time use only, but they make for REALLY good deals.)

Ashley I bought Kelley's book to this past week. Looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteI also got Jodi Picoults book to for review. you got some great books. Happy reading
I've heard mixed things about Scarlet. But I really want to read it. And Out of Sight, Out of Time was pretty good.
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVED Scarlet, I bought a copy because I enjoyed it so much. =)
DeleteOh my gosh yay Scarlet!!!! I loved that one so much:) And I can't wait to see what you think of Glitch, that one is at the top of my "must read" list! What a fantastic mailbox this week Ashley, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYes Scarlet was so good!!
DeleteGlitch definitely sounds really cool; hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll get a chance to read it. Hard with so many awesome books coming out!
When it comes to work, I totally know how you feel. You work a full day and then you want to blog but you're too bushed to do so.
ReplyDeleteI really love your haul, I'm so envious you were able to get Sapphire Blue, Changling, and Dark Ride. :) The List is also on my bookshelf, and I'm thinking it will be my next read. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for sharing the coupon codes for Kobo ebooks, Ashley! I have a Kindle, but I used to have a Kobo and still use that app for the Kobo books I had purchased on my iPad, so I was just able to swipe up some really good books I've been wanting to read (including Siobhan Vivian's The List) for a couple of dollars!
ReplyDeleteYay, no problem!! When I saw them on a site I was amazed, so I wanted to make sure I passed on the great deals. I got The List with that coupon too obviously, and it was crazy how cheap it made it.
DeleteIt looks like you've got some great books. All the covers look amazing. Hope you enjoy reading everything.
ReplyDeleteWhat a haul! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm just going to read The Calling, I really want to read Scarlet, and I love Downton Abbey! :)
Oh, and I need to read A Breath of Eyre as well! :)
All the other books look great too, enjoy!
