In My Mailbox Part Deux
In My Mailbox (weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren)
I read extremely fast. Like ridiculously fast. Sometimes I wish I read a lot slower because I tend to fly through books so quickly that I just couldn't afford to buy them anymore at $10/each! When I got a Kindle and discovered free and cheap self published books, it was like
But then I realized that a LOT of those free books were crap. While I still love seeking out those diamonds in the rough when it comes to self published books, I really wanted to read all the stuff coming from the big name publishers too. However, when you read 300+ books a year, those can be big $$. Then, I discovered the library.
Yeah, I know. I probably should have discovered it long ago, but what can I say? I like to own books and re-read them. I still buy a lot, especially the ones by authors I know I will want to re-read, but DAMN the library is awesome! I usually go once every 7-10 days and pick up a bunch of books. Here's my current haul, which I'm extremely excited about! I've already read four of them!
Hope everyone else is having a great week! Happy reading!

Ooh, you got some good books this week! I hope you enjoy Just One Day and Crewel - I really liked both of those, particularly just One Day. I also hope you like Everneath - I wasn't a huge fan of that one, but it seems most people are, so I hope you like it more than I liked it! I'v eheard great things about Grave Mercy, but have yet to read it, so I hope that works well for you, too. Great haul, Kala!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! I liked Just One Day quite a bit! Haven't gotten to Crewel or Everneath yet though. I read Unearthly (great!), Two-Way Street (eh, ok), and The Thing About the Truth (also just ok). Working on In Honor at the moment. :D
