Mailbox Monday

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at A Girl and Her Books.  Mailbox Monday is currently on tour and this month it is making its home at Metroreader.

This week I got a few goodies:

From Paperbackswap:

• The Anatomist's Apprentice by Tessa Harris
• Jarrettsville by Cornelia Nixon
• Madame Bovary's Daughter by Linda Urbach
• Three Maids for a Crown by Ella March Chase

Next week is my b-day and hubby just said to go ahead and order some books I wanted.  So, he's taking the easy route this year but at least I'm getting books!

Ordered from Book Depository in celebration of the upcoming big 3-0:

• Holy Warrior by Angus Donald
• Killer of Men by Christian Cameron
• King's Man by Angus Donald
• Marathon by Christian Cameron
• Warlord by Angus Donald

Three of those are pre-orders so I will be waiting a bit before they actually get here but I already paid for them so I'm counting them :)

From my Local UBS which was having a buy 3 get 1 free sale this weekend:

• The Kommandant's Girl by Pam Jenoff
• Middlemarch by George Eliot
• The Mistress of Nothing by Kate Pullinger

I ended up getting Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for my son as the freebie :)

I actually got offered a job at this bookstore while I was there.  Another customer came in and said "I have a couple books I want but only know the title not the author."

Owner: "Well if you have the titles I'll be able to look up the author and see if we have it."
Other Customer: "The first one is called The Kitchen House."
Me: "Kathleen Grissom"
Owner: "Thanks!  That would have taken me a minute."
Other Customer: The other one is One Thousand White Women."
Me: "Jim Fergus"
Owner: "Wow!  You're good!  Do you want a job here?"

If only my answer could have been a resounding YES but  I doubt they would pay me as much as my current job.....

Finally, from NetGalley for review:

• Glow by Jessica Tuccelli

That's it for me this week.  Hopefully everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day!
