Here is what I found in my mailbox this week! Woo Hoo! I have plenty to read this week!


These are from Paper Back Swap! Thank you to all who sent these!


This is the book I won in a contest over at Blanche’s blog! Thanks!


I got these from FSB associates to read for review. I can’t wait to start these!


These are some books that I picked up at my local Goodwill. And just in case you haven’t tried getting books at your local thrift store, these were only 80cents each!!!

So what did everyone else get?? Now if my local library would open up! It is only open Tues, Wed, Thurs, and Sat. SoI have to wait until Tuesday to get my books that are on hold there!

Until next post…

Thanks to Froggy for the heads up on this!!

Announcing the Second Annual Book Blogger Appreciation Week September 14-18, 2009

Last year over 400 blogs came together to celebrate the art of book blogging during the first ever Book Blogger Appreciation Week! It’s almost that time again! This is a meme they have on the site for fun and to help spread the word of the event.

1) What has been one of the highlights of blogging for you? Finding new friends and sharing the love of books with everyone!
2) What blogger has helped you out with your blog by answering questions, linking to you, or inspiring you? Froggy (aka Dawn) That girl rocks! She always amazes me at her friendly advice and awesome blog!
3) What one question do you have about BBAW that someone who participated last year could answer? Are you as lost as me and how do you get those great ARCs??

Now its your turn! Go on over and check out the site for more info!

TORTURED by Amanda McIntyre

I was so excited to finally get this book from my local library. I had heard such great reviews for it. Now, I am disappointed. I just could not get into this book. After the first chapter, I finally just put it in my library return pile. There was too much history lesson, people with strange names, and nothing to really capture my interest to keep me reading. It is set in the early Medieval times.

My Grade for this book: DNF (did not finish)

General info about book from author’s site:

In a time of chaos, darkness, and violence it is better to live only in the moment, lest your memories eat you alive.

A young woman blessed with “sight seeks vengeance against a tyrannical lord responsible for her mother’s murder. Forced to become an executioner’s apprentice, she encounters a Roman prisoner who offers her a away to escape her prison and find a future. Torn between desire, duty, and the chance for revenge, her choice to live or die leaves her TORTURED.

What a week for books! I wanted to share with you what I received in the mailbox this week or found at our local stores.

I received these today from Anna from the contest I entered!! It was my first win and I totally did not expect the extra goodies of bookmarks. Thanks so much Anna!

Earlier this week I went shopping with my mom and found these at our local Goodwill! 80 cents each!! Amazing what great books you can find at the thrift stores!

Then to top it off, My hubby and I went to our local Dollar Tree and found these! OMG! They had some of my favorite authors! And in case you don’t know, everything at Dollar Tree is only $1!! Can’t beat that!

If my bookshelf doesn’t hurry and get here, my nightstand is going to collapse!!
My TBR pile is growing very quickly!

Until next post…
