Mailbox Monday (August 8)

Mailbox Monday buttonMailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books they received during the previous week. Warning: MM can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and huge wish lists! Mailbox Monday, which was started by Marcia (who now blogs at A girl and her books) is on blog tour—this month, it’s hosted by Staci at Life in the Thumb.

Since I didn’t post a MM post last week, I actually have two weeks worth of books to blog about today. First, I received two books in the mail from my Canadian Bookshelf contest win...

I also bought three books: I ordered one from Book Depository and bought two from S.W. Welch Bookseller at a street fair (for $1 each)...

What did you find in your mailbox this past week? For other Mailbox Monday posts, head over to Life in the Thumb.

    Great looking books! I splurged on some e-books today. HarperCollins has 20 e-book choices for a dollar each, so I couldn't resist. :)

    The only one I'm familiar with is the Henrietta Lacks book. I like the cover of Cigar Box Banjo.

    The only title I'm familiar with is Henrietta Lacks, but they all look good to me. (After I typed that, I see Alyce said basically the same thing.)

    Interesting selection. The only one I've read is The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks which was a great book.

    I really want to read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, I've read reviews that just rave about it! The Poison Principle sounds intriguing, too.
    Enjoy!
