In My Mailbox (#9)



It's Sunday! Sadly, that means the weekend is almost over but guess what? It also means it's time for In My Mailbox hosted by The Story Siren. See, there's a plus side to everything.. yup, even Sundays. I bet you never thought you'd have a reason to like Sunday, huh?

I realize there is a lot of drama surrounding TSS and IMM but I am staying out of it. I enjoy this meme and I'm not going to run around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to come up with a new idea for something that already exists. You are not required to click through to her site and I hope you don't stop reading my blog because of my choice. Thanks.

Onto the goodies!!!



For Review:


*Ebook Always A Bridesmaid by Cindi Myers
(Thanks Dani @ Entangled Publishing!)

Gifts/Giveaways:


*ARC Silence by Michelle Sagara West (Thanks Penguin and Goodreads!)
*Ebook My Vacation In Hell by Gene Thwaronite (Thanks Gene and Kathy!)

Purchased:


*Hardcover Edgar Allan Poe - Complete Tales & Poems
*Paperback Die For Me by Amy Plum
*Paperback Fifty Shades Freed by E.L. James
*Paperback Ascend by Amanda Hocking
*Hardcover Insatiable by Meg Cabot
*Hardcover Lover Avenged by J.R. Ward
*Hardcover The Selection by Kiera Cass (signed)
*Ebook Tempting The Best Man by J. Lynn

Let me just say that I spent just as much at B&N on 3 hardcover books and 2 paperbacks as I did at an indie book store on 1 hardcover and 1 paperback. This is why I will always love Barnes and Noble. I had planned on purchasing Lover Avenged because I need the next book in the series and I had the paperback in my hand when I wandered over to the bargain priced section. Lucky for me, there were about a dozen hardcover copies of it for only $5.98! This is also where Insatiable caught my eye for only $5.98 and I grabbed the complete works of EAP for only $7.98! I picked up  Die For Me in paperback even though I have a copy of it on my Nook and I also grabbed Ascend because I own the first two books in the series although I haven't read them yet. I ran over to an indie store to grab The Selection because Kiera Cass is doing a signing there tomorrow and I may not be able to attend so I wanted to reserve it and get it signed and while I was there I picked up Fifty Shades Freed because I need to read it ASAP!

An update on this, I am actually picking up The Selection tomorrow since I didn't make it over there today. I am hoping that one of these days, I actually get to attend a signing.

Now ladies and gentleman, please share your IMM (or whatever you are choosing to use now) with me so I can see what you guys got this week! Thanks so much!!!

    1. Thanks! I won it on Goodreads, I didn't contact the publisher for that one. On the bright side, it comes out on Tuesday so you can buy it! I want to start it now but I have a few things I need to read for blog tours. :(
