Mailbox Monday

This meme is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page. Last week, I've gotten books from various sources. The following came into my house last week:

I'd gone YA at Borders, Tropicana City, using my Borders Pass that entitles me to a 15% discount off full-priced books.

  1. Stolen by Lucy Christopher
  2. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
  3. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

From the mail: Bought used at Betterworld.com
  1. The Book on the Bookshelf by Henry Petroski
  2. A Passion for Books by Harold Rabinowitz and Rob Kaplan

From the mail: Bought new at Christianbook.com
  1. The Nativity Story novelization by Angela Hunt
    (NOTE: I also bought the DVD)
  2. Stories Behind Christmas (Boxed Set) by Ace Collins

Bought used at the mini mart near my office
  1. Weekend in Paris by Robyn Sisman

  7. Hi Wendy! And I can't wait to get started on them. I'm reading Lavinia by Ursula Le Guin now so once I'm done, I'm thinking of starting on Stolen. :)

    Hi Nymeth, I'm particularly excited about this batch of books. I heard so many good things about Speak. It's really difficult to choose which one to read first when they're all soooooo good... :P

    Thanks, Julia! I sure enjoyed the shopping!

    Thanks, Gautami! :)

    Thanks, Dar! Like you, I love book shopping too. I hope you enjoyed your shopping trip!

    Yay, Melody! Stolen is coming up next after Lavinia. Happy reading to you too! :D
