In My Mailbox

This is a weekly meme hosted by the one and only fantastic Kristi over at The Story Siren.

I *almost* made it through the week without actually spending anything on books. The two half.com ones I ordered last week but no dice- I really wanted Going Too Far after seeing it on so many best of 2009 lists. I was armed with my $10 Borders gift card courtesy of Lisa Schroeder as part of her Chasing Brooklyn ARC Tour so I figured, why not? Then when I got to the store, they had buy 4 get the 5th free for all YA books so clearly I had to do that- there was a free book involved, right? I thought so- but apparently Toby adamantly disagreed....

Bought from Half.com:

Break by Hannah Moskowitz
Leftovers by Laura Wiess


Bought from Borders:

Going Too Far by Jennifer Echols
Night Runner by Max Turner
Boys that Bite by Mari Mancusi
Stake That by Mari Mancusi
Girls That Growl by Mari Mancusi

  17. Cool books! Yeah, I know how it is, I plan on buying some tonight myself. My excuse, I HAVE to get Need by Carrie Jones so I can review Captivate. ;) And of course, you can't only buy ONE book at the time.
