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.

Here is what I added to my stack this week.

Ender in Exile by Orson Scott Card -- Ender's Game is one of my favorite science fiction books. I didn't care for the other Ender books nearly as much. However, this one is supposed to be a direct sequel. I am curious to know what happened to him right after the war.

Side Jobs by Jim Butcher -- I am a fan of the Harry Dresden books but not really a fan of short stories. When the price of this hardcover dropped from the initial release price, I decided that I needed this book to fill in some blanks.

The Anatomy of Ghosts by Andrew Taylor -- This is an unsolicited ARC. It sounds interesting and I plan to read it before publication date on Jan. 25, 2011.

I have to stop reading so many blogs. I added all of these because I saw them when I visited other people's mailbox posts. All of them are ebooks for my Kindle.

Pack Challenge by Shelly Laurenston was a free Kindle book. I like shifter stories and I like her writing style. This one was good. I read and reviewed it here.

The Wolven by Deborah LeBlanc is another shifter story. I loved the cover and thought the story sounded really interesting.

The Shifters by Alexandra Sokoloff is another shifter story with a great cover and a fascinating blurb.

When I was writing my review of Pack Challenge, I did some research on the author and found out that she also wrote under the name of G. A. Aiken. Her dragon series sounded good so I added it to my Kindle too. Dragon Actually is book 1. About a Dragon is book 2. What a Dragon Should Know is book 3. Last Dragon Standing is the recently publish book 4 in the series.

That was my week. What landed in your mailbox?
