I'm going on another book ban. Seriously, my bank account is yelling at me. I am only buying one more book this month, cause May is going to bankrupt me. Anyways, I manage to snag some fantastic deals this week because my local Salvation Army was having a huge book sale. All books under $1 were ten books for $5! I couldn't help myself! Here are the books!

Bought:

- Three Days to Dead by Kelly Meding
- As Lie the Dead by Kelly Meding
- Another Kind of Dead by Kelly Meding
- Wrong Side of Dead by Kelly Meding
- One Grave at a Time by Jeaniene Frost
Note: I technically already own this book. I'm a huge Night Huntress series fan and picked up One Grave at a Time days after it came out. And I lost it. I have no clue how, but it disappeared and I've been really upset about it since (ask my friend Crimson. On random occasions I will tweet her something along the lines of "I'M SO HEARTBROKEN! I NEED BONES" every couple of months). Much to my surprise, and delight, I found a copy for only 99 cents! Made my day!

- The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella

- Sins of the Angels by Linda Poitevin (I've heard a couple people talking about this one so I figured I might as well check it out!)

- I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga (not part of the bargain, just a book I've been meaning to pick up!) 

That's it for this week! What was in your mailbox?

I haven't done an IMM in a few weeks because I didn't really buy any books. I'm still trying to cut back both because I'm broke and because my TBR pile is already out of control! I did find a couple of baraign books which I just couldn't resist. Here are the books I picked up over the last couple of weeks!

                                                             Bought:

- Witches of East End by Melissa de la Cruz (Goodreads)
- Turn Coat by Jim Butcher (Goodreads)
- Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers (Goodreads)

Borrowed:

- Falling in Love with English Boys by Melissa Jensen (Thanks to Emilie at Emilie's Book World!) (Goodreads)

I received a surprise in the mail the other day! Michelle Zink, author of the Prophecy of the Sisters trilogy and the new book A Temptation of Angels, sent me a postcard. It was really exciting! Thanks, Michelle! 

That's it for now! How was your mailbox?

Hello, book-a-lovin' people!

So, I failed. I made a promise that I would not buy any books in March. I totally failed. I blame Chapters and their very enticing "buy 3 get the 4th free sale"! It was too tempting. And I received my tuition rebate, so I felt like I had money to spare. Also, eleven - count 'em ELEVEN - books came in at the library. Normally, I don't have that many on hold, but a slip-up on my part had them all coming in at the same time. So, I have another massive mailbox. Here it is!

Hey guys and gals!

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren, in which bloggers post about the books they got during the week!

So, I didn't think I'd have an In My Mailbox this week. I'm trying my best not to buy any books in the month of March, because I'm running out of spending money and April is going to bankrupt me. I didn't purchase any books this week, but I did receive a few, and that's all thanks to the super awesome Emilie at Emilie's Book World. In my previous IMM I mentioned how Emilie let me borrow her ARC of Fever, which was fantastic of her. We made a plan to meet up and she told me she had a few books that I could borrow. And here they are!

Borrowed:

- (ARC) Embrace by Jessica Shirvington (Amazon | Goodreads)

- (ARC) Purity by Jackson Pearce (Amazon | Goodreads)

- (ARC) Freshman Year and Other Unnatural Disasters by Meredith Zeitlin (Amazon | Goodreads)

- (ARC) Black Heart by Holly Black (Amazon | Goodreads)

Last week my Waiting on Wednesday pick was Black Heart, and I can't believe I'm lucky enough to get to read it early. (Cue the jumping up and down and cheering!)

Won:

- Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver (Amazon | Goodreads)

This was also from Emilie, who's contest I won about a month ago! Thanks! I'm so excited to read it!

What did everyone else get in their mailbox this week?

Hello everyone!

I'm really excited to be participating in the awesome meme In My Mailbox! It's hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren and features books that bloggers have received during the week.

So, since my blog just started, I decided to do a massive IMM, including books that I've received over the last month. I'm also making a huge one because I probably won't be doing many, if any, during March. I'm on a strict "no buying books" ban, hoping to save my money for all the books out in April. 

Here are the books and swag I've gotten recently!

Mom's Thrift Store Buys:

So, my mom really loves to shop at the thrift store. Sometimes, she picks me up books. Although I try to keep my books in the best shape possible, when they cost a dollar, I'm flexible. This week she picked me up:

- Tales of the Otherworld by Kelley Armstrong (Amazon | Goodreads)
I already own this book, so I'm thinking of having a giveaway in honor of Moonlight Gleam's Women of the Otherworld Reading Challenge. More on that later!

- Ghost Story by Jim Butcher (Amazon | Goodreads)

Borrowed:

I want to send a huge THANK YOU to Emilie over at Emilie's Book World. I mentioned on Twitter how excited I was to read Fever by Lauren DeStefano, and Emilie tweeted me that she had an ARC that I could borrow (we live in the same city). I was elated! We met up, shopped around, and she lent me Fever, which I proceeded to finish in a day. So, thanks Emilie! It was really great of you to lend it to me!
