Ramblings of a Bibliophile

"In My Mailbox" is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren!

It's my first time participating in this meme and hopefully not the last. I have a rather large haul to share today seeing as I clicked my way over to the bargain section on Barnesandnoble.com. Oh and of course I stopped by the book section at work, which I do about 2/3 times a day when I'm there. Highly unwise on my part since I keep telling myself to save money. Hah!



From the Mailbox:
+ Freaky Green Eyes by Joyce Carol Oates
+ Stormbreaker (Alex Rider #1) by Anthony Horowitz
+ Geek High by Piper Banks
+ Young Goodman Brown & Other Short Stories by Nathaniel Hawthorne
+ Alice's Adventure In Wonderland by Lewis Carrol
+ Through The Looking Glass by Lewis Carrol
+ The Naming by Alison Croggon
+ Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz
+ Looking For Alaska by John Green

Ahhh, gotta love bargain books!

Store Bought:

+ Evermore by Alyson Noel - I bought this on a whim after reading some strong reviews about it from fellow bloggers.
+ Riding Lessons by Sara Gruen - I loved Water For Elephants so I figured it was about time I read something else by Sara.

Phew! Definitely have some busy months of reading ahead of me.

Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Eva and Marg that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library.

My original plans were to stagger the books so when I finished one, I picked up another. Well my library decided to see fit to make them all available for pick up on Tuesday. Not that I'm complaining, really, it makes my life that much easier.

Left to right:

Max by James Patterson - The 5th book in the Maximum Ride (Angel Experiment) Series.

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater - This has been on my to-read list for awhile. I can't wait to read it!

Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger - Ahh, 6 long years for this book to finally come into being. Unfortunately because it's been recently released, I can only have it for a week. So needless to say, this has moved up to my "currently reading" list.

Not pictured:



Fire by Kristin Cashore & Impossible by Nancy Werlin, which are to picked up later this week.

Happy Wednesday and happy reading!

I reorganized my bookshelves! There's still no room for my recently purchased books from Barnes & Noble, but it's good enough till I can make another run to IKEA. I can't wait to get another bookcase and have everything looking organized and shiny.

Just picked this up from the library yesterday and I can't wait to get through it! The cover is just adorable.
