What arrived in YOUR mailbox this week? Visit Marcia at The Printed Page to leave a link to your post and see what other readers acquired!
I got The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon from Marcia and I am thrilled, I absolutely love The Shadow of the Wind.In an abandoned mansion at the heart of Barcelona, a young man - David Martin - makes his living by writing sensationalist novels under a pseudonym. The survivor of a troubled childhood, he has taken refuge in the world of books, and spends his nights spinning baroque tales about the city's underworld. But perhaps his dark imaginings are not as strange as they seem, for in a locked room deep within the house are letters hinting at the mysterious death of the previous owner.
I won big at Anna's Book Blog, she sure made it feel like xmas
Nice haul B. :) Happy Reading and be sure to let us know how well you enjoyed the books.

Oh wow! Anna did say that she sent you box of books!! I'd say she did! You got some really great ones too. I LOVE Linda Winstead Jone's fantasy trilogies. And CL Wilson! Love that series too. I read A Wanton's Thief a few years ago. I liked it too.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading to you!
The Angel's Game is one that I want to read too. I've been seeing it all over the place lately.
ReplyDeleteMichelle,
ReplyDeleteI sure will. They are already high up on my what to read next list. I can't wait.
Amy,
I know, I got the box and became speechless. I just love Anna, she sent me all the good stuff that I would love to read but might not get. Linda WJ's book looks great, and Wilsons. I can't wait to start on them all. I am in heaven
