In My Mailbox #4


In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren, and it's an opportunity to show off all the books we've gotten!

I do my IMMs every other Saturday. Here are the books I've gotten the past two weeks. I've put myself on a book buying ban for the foreseeable future, so these were all at least technically free. Once again, I went a little crazy at the library. But I had to make walking there in the snow worthwhile somehow.

From the spectacular, magnificent, munificent, and altogether superior Jen of At Random

    1. Yeah, probably :)

      And I was excited to be able to use the words "magnificent" and "munificent" together. If only you were more evil; then I could have used "maleficent" too! lol

    2. Hahaha, I'll try to work on being more evil so you can use maleficent. Lmao.

  2. Once again, great haul Kate! I havent read any of those Kate so I'll wait to see what you think of them. Although I do have Evernight to read for my DB challenge this month. And I am about to start reading Touch of Power - I got a copy from the library before Jen went and did her awsome stuff...

  6. I just finished Touch of power about 3 days ago. I loved it! Gave it 5 stars. And Finnikin on the Rock I've heard great things about, too. I recognise a lot of the covers here from my own (ginormic) TBR. Have a great week :)

I love your comments! I try to respond to them...eventually!

This is now an award-free blog. I love and totally appreciate that you thought of me, but I know myself better than to think I would be organized enough to pass them along, and that doesn't seem fair.
