In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren to spotlight what books we've bought, borrowed or won for the week.
My Borders closed many months ago and I bought A LOT. I thought I was done but then I went on vacation this past week and took a trip to the local mall and behold.....there was a Borders closing! It was the final few days so I didn't expect to find much but there was quite a bit left....all at 70-90% off.
Here's the list!
Ann Aguirre & Ava Gray (same author):
Doubleblind
Killbox
Skin Dive
Skin Heat
Gini Koch:
Touched by and Alien
Alien Tango
Sean McGuire:
An Artificial Light
Local Habitation
Late Eclipses
Jesse Peterson:
Eat, Slay, Love
Kresley Cole, Gena Showalter:
Deep Kiss of Winter
Jennifer Estep:
Tangled
Karen Marie Moning:
Shadowfever
Patricia Briggs:
Silver Borne
Beth Revis:
Across the Universe
Kat Richardson:
Downpour
Sherman Alexie:

I WAS finally making some progress and clearing off my shelves.....oh well. Such is the curse of the avid reader.

Oh, lucky! I came across a Borders that was closing, but there was barely anything left. I managed to snag the last copy of Red Glove by Holly Black, though. :) I'm going to suggest that you read Across the Universe first, maybe because I'm biased, but that book will surprise you out of your wits. It's simply shocking.
ReplyDeleteI got Shadowfever in paperback this week too, I re read all my favourite Barrons bits this week!
ReplyDelete@My Keeper Shelf. I have Darkefever but I haven't started it yet. I just love the Shadowfever cover.

Every time I see something about Across the Universe, my mind says, "Should I?" I'll be interested to know what you think. It's one of those books which never quite makes it to my to-read pile.
