Mailbox Monday (May 4)


Technically, I didn’t find anything in my mailbox this week, but I did buy five books at my local secondhand bookstore:

The Josephine Bonaparte Collection (The Many Lives and Secret Sorrows of Josephine B., Tales of Passion, Tales of Woe and The Last Great Dance on Earth) by Sandra Gulland (all for $3!)
The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie*
The Wild Island by Antonia Fraser*

What did you find in your mailbox this past week? For other Mailbox Monday posts, head over to Marcia’s blog, The Printed Page.



*I couldn’t find the right covers for these two books!

    What wonderful deals! I have heard great things about Sandra Gulland's Josephine series. I shall be starting her newest novel Mistress of the Sun today and will be having a giveaway of it starting on May 20th.

    I hope you enjoy all your new editions to your library! :D

    I always include all books coming into the house as being "in my mailbox" :) (except for library books, which get a separate post of their own!). You picked up some great books this week!

    Hey, thanks for the heads up ;) It's weird that no one else noticed that mistake.... I won The Tory Widow.

    I've had the Josephine B trilogy on my shelves for a while, but after reading Mistress of the Sun I am really excited to read them.

    Thanks, everyone, for your comments. I was so pleased to find the entire series for so cheap (and in good condition too). After reading various reviews of Mistress of the Sun recently, I'm pretty sure I'm going to love these!

    I'll keep an eye out for your giveaway, Jessica Marie!

    Thank you for the award, Cindy!
