Old Book Monday - July 2
Quite a few book bloggers participate in a weekly meme in which they share delicious and mouth-watering pictures of the new books they have recently received. I love strolling through the blogosphere and checking out these pictures. I don’t buy a lot of new books but realized I could still participate by sharing pictures of what I do buy a lot of—OLD books. Hence, “Old Book Mondays”
This week’s “Old Book Monday” features NEW books! Surprise!
I've been on a winning kick lately - which is uber-strange for me, because I never win anything! But in the last couple of months I won the following books:
Jack with a Twist by Brenda Janowitz and Freudian Slip by Erica Orloff from Amy Sue Nathan at Women Fiction Writers
All Our Yesterday's by Janet Lane Walters (from a contest at the author's website)
Like Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen from Beth at Candlebeam Books
The Order of the Odd-Fish by James Kennedy, N.P. from Banana Yoshimoto, Slammerkin by Emma Donoghue, The Snack Thief by Andrea Camilleri, and The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon from Joey Francisco at Soul and Sweet Tea
I also won two e-books (not pictured):
Whisper by Chelsea Cameron (from a contest by the author)
Destiny's Fall by Marie Bilodeau (from a contest by the author)
AND, I also won this fabulous swag pack from Damnation Books, which features bookmarks and postcards from some upcoming releases (as well as a horror writers retreat at a haunted house!), a pen, a super cool sheperd's staff bookmark with spooky charms on it, and a super cool spiderweb mesh bag! LOVE IT!
What about you? Have any recent book acquisitions you want to share?
