In My Mailbox (July 18, 2010)

The weekly In My Mailbox post is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren. It is fun to see what everyone else gets in their mailboxes, shopping bags, and library visits. Click on the link to The Story Siren's site to see the rules and join in the fun.

I guarantee that your TBR pile will grow when you see all the cool books everyone gets. You will discover lots of wonderful blogs and lots of books that you won't be able to live without.

Well, I started out the week with good intentions. I was not going to buy a lot of books. However....

I visited the Amazon Marketplace for these books.

I had read about Beauty Sleep by Cameron Dokey on someone's blog and was intrigued by the summary. I like fairy tale retellings and this one is supposed to have humor, magic and word play.

I also go Demons Not Included by Cheyenne McCray. I have read other books by McCray and enjoyed them but didn't buy this when it come out for some reason. 

I also bought In Other Worlds by Sherrilyn Kenyon. It contains three shorter works in three of her worlds. I have the League books on my Kindle but haven't read them yet. I already read her Dark-Hunter books. 

Barely a Lady by Eileen Dreyer is a Regency romance that is a bit grittier than most given that it centers around the Battle of Waterloo and has a hero and heroine who are divorced. I enjoyed this one though I thought the hero did some things that I would find unforgivable. 

I read that this was an anniversary of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and I have never read it. I know it is assigned to our 9th graders but it wasn't assigned to me when I was a 9th grader way back in the misty past. I thought I would like to know what my students are reading.

Now, five new books coming in actually isn't too bad for me. I am reading about a book a day this summer. But then Saturday came and I had to go check out my Amazon recommendations. Therefore, I added these books to my Kindle:

I am a big fan of Shelly Laurenston's light paranormals with romance and neat shifter characters. So I couldn't resist Beast Behaving Badly.

I have the other books by Devon Monk on my Kindle already. I decided to get the most recent one - Magic in the Storm - so that I would be complete when I had a chance to read the rest.

I really like Moira Rogers' Red Rock Pass series. I had to buy this prequel - A Safe Harbor - to find out how the story begins.

That was my week. What ended up in your mailbox this week?
