In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren.
It's Monday. The weekend flew by so quickly. But I had a nice smooth weekend. My youngest and I spent some time at the library. She found some great books, and I bought some great books from the library store. Win-win.
So here's what I have today:
Bought from Amazon.com in Paperback
Sisters and Lovers by Connie Briscoe
For Kindle on iPad.
Craving God: A 21 Day Devotional Challenge Guide. (Free on Kindle)
Bought from Library:

Logging you in...
I bought Neuromancer by William Gibson and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick at the Univ. of Arkansas Little Rock bookstore.
ReplyDeleteThey were both on a list of top SciFi books of all time and I hadn't read either one.
I didn't bought a few books old Julie Garwood's and Brenda Joyce books from our used bookstore. I also got Sohpie's Choice by Georgette Heyer for my Nook for 1.99! YAY!
ReplyDeleteI remember reading How Stella Got Her Groove Back a long time ago! I really liked it because the style was a little different.
I'm a bit jealous that you got these great books from the library. Our library doesn't do sales anymore, and it's such a pity.
ReplyDeleteI read A Day Late & A Dollar Short several years ago and quite enjoyed it. I loved the story being told from different points of view.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your books. Toni Morrison was at the National Book Festival in DC this year, but I missed her. I really enjoyed The Road, but beware there are no quotation marks and no names (that I can recall)
ReplyDeleteI see everyone got some good books this week as well. I will have to look into those books Hank and Parrish Lantern. I have really wanted to read some sci-fi lately, but didn't see any great recommendations.
ReplyDeleteJade, I going to get Sophie's Choice on Nook as soon as I'm done. I had the book awhile back and never read it, but now can't find it. :-( The movie was heartbreaking, so I sorta put it off, but now that's it's $1.99 I can't beat that.
@ Leeswammes, I love our library bookstore. If it wasn't for that store, I wouldn't have hardly any books. It's addictive when everything is so cheap.
@Debbie, I loved it too. This is my third copy on my bookshelf. I hate to see a good book just sitting on the shelf, so I buy them and just give them away or let them sit next to their siblings on my shelf, til I find them a home in a giveaway or friends house. :-)
@Serena, I would loved, loved, loved to have seen Toni Morrison. She is on my top 3 list of people I must see. Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou and Oprah. I can't imagine what I would've said. Just thinking about it makes me excited.
Thanks for stopping by everyone. Til we meet again....hopefully that's tomorrow. :-D
Those are some fabulous books! I've always been meaning to read The Road and A Mercy! I hope you enjoy your reads!
ReplyDeleteDob't read The Road if you're in a down mood. It is a pretty depressing book.
ReplyDeleteGreat books :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,
